18v Bosch Drill

Anyone try this for bolting? Looking to get a new drill and saw this on amazon. Let me know if u have used it before!

Thanks!

That will do the job and is probably preferred among a lot of back country bolters due to it being much lighter than most drills. But if you are going to be doing any serious development and within an hours hike from the car you should look into this guy.

This is the other one i was looking at getting? Better choice?

I am mostly going to be bolting in alaska back country and figured the other was going to be considerably lighter!

The 36v Bosch absolutely shreds. If you can afford it, get at least one extra battery pack. Then you can work and get dirty till dark.

Nate,

If you're going backcountry that 18v bosch is a good choice. Its a full pound lighter than the 36v. Mine drills really fast and is a lot nicer to carry in the pack or if you're lead bolting. I've drilled at least 8 holes in hard granite on a single charge on a route with no trouble, not sure how many it will do before it runs out, never pushed it that far.

My 2 cents...have fun!

I have been using the Hilti 18v TE 4-A18. it weighs 7.3 and i dropped it from almost 45ft and still works, a little bruised but still works fine. I use only Hilti cordless at my shop and in the back country.

good luck and climb safe.
