good joist drill?

[super spark]

Can anyone recommend a good joist driller?

Purchased many drills in my time & still I am unsure to what joist drills to supply my lads with. Tried the angle makita's & they were useless.

any ideas???????

I swear buy the irwin auger wood bits they do all the work for you i would never use flat wood bits again ,never used any kind of angle bits though .

Augers are good but get balls up when you hit an un-foreseen nail...........

thanks for the comment, will have a look. was looking more for what machine you use rather than the bit though

cordless or corded?

corded, cordless always seem to lack power & nakers the battery if there hammered every day

Were they they little angled MAkita or the ones that look like a proper drill with angled head?

No the proper job makita's angled head, marketed as a joist drill but not much kop !

Hey mate.

I think the Hilti SR16 110V is probably the best joist drill Ive used.
