36v drill

[Chris Milne]

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.

 

[rantoftheday]

Hilti are the best but Milwaukee a very good alternarive

 

[Badged01]

Bosch for me too! Never had a problem with it and has been man-enough for all the jobs ive needed it on. Plus you get the extended warranty! Now if you've got money to burn you can always pay for the name Hilti etc ......

Dewalt and it goes through anything I throw at it

LOL - it's like a cross between racing for pink slips and ogling the top shelf mags!!

Some are better than others, agreed, but when it reaches a certain level the only way of knowing what tool is right for YOU is to take it for a test drive which sadly isn't the easiest of things to achieve.

I'm trying milwaukee 18v sds , 2.4 j and anything bigger il plug one in, I've used 36v loads of times and is good and worth every penny if you doing maintenance on occupied buildings= no leads at allneeded but I'm going to try milwaukee sds as everyone else has bosch 36 or 24

Let me know how that goes will you ? I'm considering one myself.
I have the small milwaukee combi drill and circular saw in 18v. The small combi doesn't seem have the speed or grunt for serious brick drilling, anything more than a dozen holes and i feel like i need more power.

I have the Bosch, a bit heavy but does the Job, expensive though IMO these drills, should be about £200 new really, a rip off for what they are.

I drill away with my 18v combi too ... Yeah have cash here just waiting on my supplier to come back from milwaukee trade show in Portugal . I know it going to eat 5.5 and 6.5 holes with no probs. the 36v is 2.8j where this 18v is 2.4j

Waffle'n am i

The new Panasonic range are really good only bad thing is the box it comes in there's not really much room for drill bits

 

[i=p/u]

A lot of guys have 14.4 v panasonic and 36v bosch , good combination

 

[High Tower]

Bosch all day long, mine has had a hard life and is a soldier!

 

[grantr37]

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...

 

[i=p/u]

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?

 

[i=p/u]

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
