Bosch 100 mm type, I don’t have the model with me but it’s brushed n corded.

 

You need work bench too? What kind of project? I drill press is really nice to have.

 

I need a work bench so that I can "work" outside the house at the common corridor space.  

Maybe I can also bring it down to the roof top garden.   [laugh]

The purpose of the work bench is so that I can clamp to secure the work pieces, which I think will make it safer. 

 

Eh... I just bought a Black & Decker WM225 from Lazada.  < $100.   [cool]

 

On projects, for a start 

-  magazine digital archival

-  shelving for bomb shelter racks

 

I have many pieces of "Finland Pinewood"  from a Seahorse Study/Bed Set.  [;)]

 

Don't think I have use for drill press.   I have an old Dremel 300 and quite recently bought the Workstation. 

I think the Dremel will be obsolete soon except for the drilling.

I too have something like your work bench, bought cheap coz was not in very good condition. If you do wood work, a cordless drill driver can be very useful.

As long as serve the purpose.  

Will be looking into the cordless drill driver as well after the impact driver arrives.

Actually I require the random orbital sander more.

I need some time to process this. [laugh]

I got Makita 18v. Only 2 tools - vacuum and blower. No other power tools. [laugh]

Now switching to Bosch 18v.

The makita hand held 18v vacuum is good stuff! Edited by Mkl22

The blower as well.  I use it on the nooks and crannies of the car.

This month,  I finally saw cordless power tools in action, not once but twice

- installation of instant water heater and setting up a piece of Ikea furniture. 

 

The reality was that cordless really made light of work !

Twincharged

As an update. I used the heat gun to repair a bumper dent recently. Once the right temperature is reached, bumper becomes soft like cotton, just push the dent back in place. They do exactly the same in the workshops. [thumbsup]

Good job. The trick is handling the heat well and not crinkle the paint.

Hmm looking to get a simple home cordless drill/screw. Just for use on regular wall or ikea for now.

Anything wrong with getting this? Seems like best VFM.

Bosch GSB-120 (GSB apparently has hammer function, but GSR is only drill).

There's the 18V GSB-180 version. Another $60 more.

GSB-180 version is better. I have one as well. comes with 2 batteries and you can charge one while using the other.

If you observed, many carpenters or furniture assemblers use this type.

For normal use, especially only wall for hanging and screwing Ikea furniture, don't get one that is too powerful. That's bad for screwing. Eg 12V Milwaukee Brushless drill driver is too powerful for screws unless you are screwing 4 inch nails. 

The 12v one seems good enough. Check if you can buy replacement battery cheap. 

(I have a total of 6 drills/drivers.....)

that one probably no need since the tightening part seems quite reliable for now. 

Maybe hang simple ikea bag rack or something.
