QUOTE(yushin @ Jun 3 2017, 03:33 PM) Bosch's 18V circular saw too expensive. indeed makita has more cordless tools range...and mostly updated to brushless for most of it's tools unlike bosch took ages to update to brushless.... Makita has many other interesting tools like grass cutter, fan, even a cordless trim router(future). So I think using 2 system to have more flexibility of tools. Bosch GKS 18VLi costs rm900+, Makita's circular saw costs rm600. Bosch GST 18V costs rm1300+, Makita 18v jigsaw costs rm800. Bosch's drill generally are cheaper than Makita tho... Makita has more "toys" to play with, the price difference already enough justification to cover another battery set. Also, seems like Makita & Bosch is same grade of tool quality? bosch can be cheap if know where to find the lubang anyway, i'm now done with bosch. migrating to makita now too....but corded makita tool |

QUOTE(lucifah @ Jun 3 2017, 10:31 PM) cheapest i could find is this: i got my last batch of 2 x 4.Ah + charger for RM548 shipped. ( RM667 less RM100 discount voucher less RM 27 store credit )http://www.lazada.com.my/solo-2p-18v40ahal...20769.html?ff=1 2 x 4.0ah batt pack + charger with rm 50 discount, it would be RM625 let's say charger cost you RM 100, that means RM525 /2 = RM261 each the batt still rm 50 more than what newspaper found haihs... i must learn more from sifu let say from your calculation, less charger RM100, that means 448/2 = RM224 each batt. ( actual charger cost RM150 if you really want to get those batt at discounted price, i will let you know once it's on sales with discount voucher This post has been edited by old newspaper: Jun 3 2017, 10:44 PM |

QUOTE(lucifah @ Jun 3 2017, 11:10 PM) the shopee voucher can only be used to buy from that one particular seller i recently got mine for RM447 ( after discount voucher and shopback rebate ). some of his stuff are expensive some are downright cheap - like the l-boxxes, he is selling well below MSRP / other people some random sellers also sell tools wayy below other people's low prices, example this: https://shopee.com.my/BOSCH-GWS-18-V-LI-Cor...30775.255142553 RM470 only, no need voucher or anything the nearest competitor sells for rm 530+, and trust me, i've been monitoring the grinder prices for almost 4 months liao. next in list would be another drill driver (i have 4 liao), but this time will be an impact driver generally bosch tool pricing is still maintaining and some had been reduce from last year price. meanwhile, makita tool price has been increased compare to last year pricing |

beside of powertools, i do prefer invest a little bit more for a better quality hand tools too...
Stanley » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Irwin » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Milwaukee » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Wolfcraft » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « and also other cheap cheap hand tool... rolson...from ace hardware » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « hotak...prc tool from mr.diy » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « for me, those quality tool are really different from those general hardware store one. the moment you pick it up, you can feel it already. and not to mentioned mostly come with lifetime warranty too thus making my investment of quality tool worth much more. for me it's a long term investment and hardly fail went on duty...and can pass this on to my son later.. |

QUOTE(aneip @ Jun 4 2017, 07:28 AM) The L box can put many things inside? can show some sample how you arrange the tools inside the box? using soundproof foam...much much cheaper than the bosch cut-out foam. all tools stay firmly, no wobbling inside.. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(lucifah @ Jul 24 2017, 05:24 PM) i honestly have no idea. LOL rm1.8k consider as an investment lo...you do 1 small job already roii was expecting maybe a free battery inside, but nada rm 1.8k for a bare tool, i must be crazy. LOL QUOTE(lucifah @ Jul 24 2017, 09:14 PM) oh, btw, shoppee bosch official store no longer provide cheap shipping for l-boxx lucky i had stock up enough from previous sales. current sales is 10% without max cap, so it's good to purchase high price item with current discount.haiya... the seller notified me that shoppee has asked them to re-valuate their postage by volumetric weight, not actual weight just a side note to all bosch's fan.. all heavy duty range from Bosch will increase price next month. 8% - 10%. they will also launch few new cordless item ; 1. New GSA 18v-32 Saber saw 2. New GSR 18v EC drill driver ( with metal chuck ) - some dealer already has this. 3. New GSB 18v EC hammer drill ( with metal chuck ) - ready stocks in bosch warehouse. will release it dealer next month 4. New GKS 18v circular saw ( to replace existing local model, left handed to right handed model ) 5. New GST 18v jigsaw 6. Reintroduce 10.8v/12v 4.0ah battery in MY. Penang factory allocated the current batch for local market. Previous all batches supplied all to oversea ( very high demand therefore abandon MY market |

QUOTE(lucifah @ Jul 24 2017, 10:23 PM) i think it's going to be the GSB18v-26 EC. a very powerful impact drill driver that can almost do double duty as a boschammer. it's quite pricey in europe. around rm 2.5k core 18v battery won't be available here so soon.glad that they are allocating more high cap batteries for malaysian market. it's crazy cos those batts are made in malaysia, and we malaysians can't get the high caps like 5.0a/6.0a 18V and the latest and very powerful 6.3a CORE 18V edit: oh, i am waiting for 18v LED lamp from bosch in malaysia. the GLI18 & GLI-VariLED is kinda interesting, though pricey (based on amazon price, RM300+ and rm100+ respectively) 18v led is also one of the new item to be launch here...not sure which model but definitely not the GLI Variled model. It's either GLI18v 1900 ( swiveling stand ) or GLI 18v - 300 ( look like the robot leg one..). |

QUOTE(yushin @ Jul 25 2017, 08:33 AM) I have GLI18V & FL12. I always prefer FL12 for its versatility. Love the magnet and carabiner hook. Looking at the new GLI18V-1900 & GLI18V-300... GLI18V-1900 looks like a flood light, GLI18V-300 looks like normal standing torch offered by others. For the uniqueness and compactness I still prefer the FL12. I am still hoping to get the Bosch GLI12V-80 torch light @ below rm100 ... [attachmentid=8988160] The cheapest GLI12v 80 i bought is around rm130++. Nothing unique about this torch. Dont like the bulky body and no brightness mode. I bought it just to make use of my spare batteries... |

QUOTE(kennji @ Jul 25 2017, 10:41 AM) Wow. I wonder which model will be brought in? GST 18V-Li S barrel grip? The GSA 18V-32 look a bit weird I prefer the 18 V-Li compact format. How much is the GSR 18V EC ( metal chuck ) you got from singapore? My supplier here quoted me RM4xx for a solo unit. GSB 18v EC ( metal chuck ) for almost RM500 for it. GSB is arriving next Mon.I already got the new GSR 18V-EC from singapore and looking forward to the GLI-1900 flood light and 18V circular saw. |
