Like most shooting game, there's situation where you use the big guns and there's a use for the small pistol as well
Daewoo boleh pakai if money is tight but I must remind you its pretty heavy.

Bosch 2-20 if budget is ok for RM320-330 is lighter and better vibration control lah.
Hikoki DH24 I saw going for RM345. Also quite light. https://shopee.com.my/HITACHI-HIKOKI-DH24PH...6754.5037692275

Sudah order lo.. Lazy cancel... 3kg OK la... Stronger than Bosch rite.. Bosch how heavy

Encounter the same thing trying to install a blind. The balcony structure was concrete plastered by some cement when my parents did the extension for balcony.

Instead of investing on a normal drill (since I borrow the drill from office), went to a hardware shop and told them the situation. Bought a RM20 drill bit and it was much much easier. I still had those cheap RM20 (1set drill bits from 6mm-10mm) and in comparison, this RM20 drill bit just so much easier to drill. Even normal wall with bricks plastered by cement, it just goes through like butter unlike those cheap drill bits which required a bit of effort before you reach the soft bricks.

I using x33 line bits and I tried some expensive bits from my uncle.. Cement plaster no issue, issue come after 0.6 inch depth..

Anyways i pissed and sold off the whole set.. Bought sds drill, it did the job.. I use less than half min for 1 hole with 2inch depth.. Lol.. Live much easier and I feel stupid for drilling 1hr plus for a hole.. What a joke

Sounds great! Right tool for right job.

Yea... But now I think need some advise for my TV cabinet... Bought one from ikea it didn't provide screw for hanging cabinet mount on wall... I simply use some small stainless steel screw... I wonder will it drop anytime or not.. Any specific screw or what screw should I use to hang a TV cabinet

Should be fine if you use those cheese head screws about 38mm or 50mm long. Not the flat head one.
25mm ones only for wall clock

Abit scare... Purchased Wall plug wait delivery then change..

You will need to use a hammer drill. Please ensure you have opted for hammer drill function instead of just drilling by turning the knob to the right option. When it comes to reinforced concrete (RC) floor slab on highrise, it is casted using metal formwork, hence one will have a smooth surface on the soffit. Hence, a skim coat of between 3mm to 5mm will be applied on the slab surfaces as finishing.

Your drill bit managed to go through the hard concrete thanks to the hammering action. At 1.5cm, you may have hit steel bar. A common drill bit is only designed to drill into concrete substrate unless you opted for tungsten head drill bit, that can drill into steel.

The danger of hitting a steel bar using a common drill bit is when your drilling machine get stuck and the rotating machine may break your wrist. Ceiling drilling may also exposed you to the risk of drilling into electrical conduit. You will know it when you hit it.

For curtain installation, you will need to drill in at least a minimum of 2.5mm (assuming there is no curtain pelmet with wood base) using an M6 (6mm diameter drill bit). The depth is required as curtain can be heavy and also to resist tugging by children when they are playing around this area.

Hi everyone,

Looking for a good cordless (and brushless) SDS plus rotary hammer for curtain installation on a landed house. Maybe for installing wall fans and mounting brackets.

I'm basically torn between Bosch 18V, Milwaukee 18V Fuel, Makita 18V or DeWalt 20V. Any thoughts?

I use this Milwaukee M12 CH Rotary Hammer. In a word, it has been brilliant. Light weight is a boon when working overhead, drills 12 mm into concrete without issue, battery lasts incredibly long. Downside is it is not cheap and is only a 2-mode unit. It is my go-to roto hammer now during installation. For all other concrete work I have my corded Bosch 2-22 and 2-26.

I always believe that you should use the smallest and lightest tool that you can finish the job with, as this means that you are less fatigued from using the tool. Of course if you already are on a certain battery platform, you should try to stick with that. This was my very first Milwaukee M12 tool. Seriously thinking of migrating my Bosch 12V Max to Milwaukee M12.

It is currently in a 4 tool kit for RM 1,698. I'll go halfsies with you, if you take the roto hammer and the batteries, and I take the other 3 tools
