36v drill

Chris Milne · Feb 8, 2013

Just wondering what 36v drills you guys use? Used to have a Bosch 36v which I found good, but have had a shot of a hilti which was excellent! Willing to spend a few quid but not sure if I can justify the price of a hilti!

Bosch Drills are great

If you want to buy a HILTI then find out when the salesman is going to be in your area next and buy it directly from him, as the tool shops and Hire shops that sell them will add £300 onto his price as a matter of common practice....plus the vat...

As we know shops can't compete with online company's aswell, I told the guy who I want to buy off its £50 cheaper online and asked how he can make it up, I.e free hoody and bag or drill bits, cause they get free stuff, so chance your arm and try local

What do you guys use the 36v drill for?

Drilling holes lol for us it's you standard 6.5mm and the odd 20mm as we do maintenance but commonly 5.5-6.5mmholes is drilled and just bounces in all day long

Ah same as myself except I use a 18v dewalt. I thought I was missing something. Bit overkill isit not?

36v Bosch Compact. very very light weight, and has plenty of balls for what it is.
Failing that the top end Bosch 36v is awesome!

I have the 36v compact and when you have to do long cable runs clipped overhead your arms don't ache after the 50th hole
and it will still put a 25mm whole through concrete with no effort!
