Best drill for chasing

[Bright.Spark]

Im looking to by a drill with hammer function only, whats the best make to buy? I am toying with the 36 volt bosch, is there anything better on the market. Oh and I would prefer cordless, or is 110/230v drills better for chasing.

I opt for a corded 230 volt sds for chasing.

If purely for chasing I've heard good things about the chasing tools (see another thread) can't comment on them myself as i haven't got one yet, but thats my next purchase.

makita 110v. loads of oomph and no flat batteries after 2 chases

The lightest 2kg hammer drill you can find from one of the big names with say 2J of impact force you don't want anything heavy, chasing above your head knackers your arms. Personally swear by Bosch stuff, though I use a Hilti TE7-C corded.

Ok so I've decided against a battery drill and opting for corded. I'm looking to go for 240 volt instead of 110, saves luging the transformer round with me. Will. A 750 watt drill be man enough for the job?

 

[telectrix]

my makita is 780 watt. more than adequate.

its the Hitachi for me , we use them everyday and they take a lot of abuse

i was on a job where they bought a handful of Hitachi drills and they were all knackered in a month, altho they were used by a load of cave men who did not think to let them cool off a bit when they started spitting grease and stuff out of them.

Been using a bosh 230 volt for a for a couple of years, great for chasing.

36v hilti or blue bosch.

Blue Bosch, cant afford Hilti
