Help me I.D, this bolt / and need drill advice
|
I have about 30 of these bolts and am not sure if they are good for climbing or not. If so I may use them or sell them as I have other stainless HILTI bolts to use. If they are not good for climbing then I will get rid of them to someone using them for construction so they don't get mixed up in my climbing bolts. |

Redheads. Something you can get at Home Depot, dump 'em. |
|
Probably a million of those things in place,even though they're crap. Lose 'em. |
|
Good advice above. The hilti's are a far superior bolt. |

Thanks for the advice on the bolts. Got them up for sale now in a construction section. I have no use for them. |

18V is really not enough... |
|
It would be better to find someone who already has a good drill to give you a hand than waste your money on a crappy weak one IMO. |
|
You could always get a hand drill if you're only gonna place a few bolts. Makes you really scrutinize the placements well. And, BTW, you do get much more efficient with a little "practice". Plus, a hand drill is the lighest kind on the market... |

I want to put in a couple routs this summer and a couple anchors at the top of routs where ther are none and I will only use stainless hardware. Now I just need to get a good drill and some more hangers. I am thinking about this drill homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/st… because I already have other royobi stuff and the new 18v LI batteries. And the fact that it is not $250-500 for a Bosch which I can't afford right now. Anyone have any thoughts or expereience with this drill? or others that don't cost a bunch.That looks like a hammer drill more than a rotary hammer. BIG difference. read the specs - see if it's rated to one inch holes in granite or something like that. |

But it also says it uses SDS Max bits, which is highly doubtfull. Normally only 1.5" and larger drills use SDS Max bits. As far as the bolts go, Read Head is not complete garbage, there are worse bolts out there. But yes, there are superior bolts as well. The Power's Power-Bolt is a fine wedge bolt option. |

The Ryobi is crap. Yes, it's cheap and worth every cent. |

Red heads are garbage? Someone better tell Duane Raleigh and the ASCA: |

Well if anyone wants the red-head bolts I have them for sale for $1 each, although I would probably prefer that they did not get used for climbing. The bolt info posted is good and they say to stay away from bolts that have threads all the way to the base which makes sence to me. The hilti bolts only have threads on the first inch of the bolt. |
