we had some sort of milwaukee joist drill on a company i used to work for would blast a 32mm auger through a 2ft oak beam no problem, you could take the nadle off too for narrow gaps like a proper right angle drill. the torque was insane though so you had to rest it against your body as the clutch was pretty much non existant.


this looks like it but im sure it was alot more poweful

What about a Bosch Multidrill.

Fantastic piece of kit, I've got 2 of them now and never had a problem them. They get abused on a daily basis and can do everything, off-hammer drilling, hammer drilling, chiselling.

Hi Lenny, how do you get on with no reverse gear? In the past I have used sds drills which when they have jammed, I have needed to use reverse to get them out!

I echo the previous posts regarding the Irwin bits, they pull in so aggressively I nearly broke my wrist the first time I used them! Although I do take the point that the aren't too robust if you hit a nail or screw.
