I just dropped my 18 year old TE 10A 80 feet and it broke in two.
Any new beta on what is the rig to get these days?
Thanks
Tim

Haha - Good one Greg. Yup- I blew it on that little detail. Luckily the battery is fine as it was in my pack.

I have one of those little bosch's, and I gotta say after 15 years with a turbo bulldog, its a total game changer for stance drilling. Yes it has slightly less impact than the other litheon bosch,but it turns faster and has more blows per minute. Unless your drilling half inch plus holes the impact force is plenty.This drill is twice as fast as my old bulldog.

I have a Hilti TE6a...the 36 volt job.
It's been super charged with an external battery.
It's in great shape.
I'll sell it for $350...if anyones interested.

tim. I might add that at 6.4 pounds the little drill easily fits in a little lunch pack and is no big deal to carry up a route to say work on a pitch high up on a route. It comes with two litheon batteries(very light)and does not have the chipping hammer which in my opinion is a totally useless feature on a climbing drill.I have drilled 15 bolts off one battery

Bosch all the way. I have the new 36v BullDog and it drills steel hard rock effortlessly.

I've got a hilti TE-5A, two 12v gel cells and a charger that I'd planned on putting together for a drill setup, but just haven't had the time. $175 shipped to your door.

Timm....to be totally honest I'm not sure how old it is.
I bought it from another climber about 6 years ago. I think he'd purchased it about 2 years before that. I can find out for sure if you'd like.
It comes with the case a couple of bits and I'll throw in 10 bolt hangers.
I built a fatty battery for it.
It's a nice drill that's put in maybe 30 bolts. Neither myself or the original owner use dit as much as we thought.
If you email your address I'll figure out the shipping cost.
I'd take a reasonable offer as well.
Cheers,
Josh

Kinnikinik: Those new Bosch's look great- can't find them in Calgary yet.
Flamer: thanks for the good offer. I'm still trying to figure out if the new lithiums are worth the cost of buying a new drill vs used.
R &I just had a quick blurb on the new 36v Bosch with lithium for about 600 bucks....black and red- not bosch blue.....

No. A rotary hammer drill, aka: "rotohammer" is a different animal. A hammer drill will slowly drill a couple holes in the homeowner's concrete wall. It is not what you want for drilling multiple holes in rock.
You want a rotohammer with an chuck for SDS bits.

I've been quite happy with this light weight Makita. I already had a charger and batteries, as own own a few different makita cordless tools for work, so that was part of why I bought it. (Also, the makita cordless drills at work have outlasted Bosch, Miluakee, Hitachi and Porter Cable.) I drilled about 14 3/8x4" holes in some volcanic igneous rock before batt. death.. Haven't maxed it out on granite yet, but it has plenty of guts.

Cool video 426, why would anyone want to cheat themselves out of that kind of fun?
I love when you throw a hook on, then need to move all around to find the best stance and placement.
