I have been using that 12v Milwaukee for bolting on lead and I love it. It will do about 12 3/8x3" holes in good granite with a fresh bit. I've used it down to 0 degrees with no loss in power too. Can't say that for the Bosch drills. |

Home Depot recently had this 12v Milwaukee hammer-drill set-up on sale online. Not sure if still out there at the price of $200. Comes (or came) with 2 battery units, the charger unit, and a nice plastic case. |

Agree that you should save up or get a few buddies together to pool some funds together. I picked up a brand new Boschhammer 36V SDS on ebay for $350. Just be patient and wait around for a good deal. |

Second many of the comments regarding the lighter 18v drills powered by lithium ion batteries. Hilti 36v TE-4 and TE-6 (A) series drills are excellent but very heavy compared to the Bosch 18v / equivalent. Other advantages can be found when using other tools such as cordless angle grinders that share the same power packs. |
