Angle Drill - Sort Of!

Speaking for myself I'd always opt for a corded machine for Grumble &  Grunt work like drilling joists etc ,  battery drills are great but from the moment you start  it up , its losing power .  

Yeah I know everyone loves them  but if you're setting up for a days work  , how long does it take to run a lead out . 

Last week we knew we had to drill through a 1 mtr thick wall , twice ,  ....we've had the drill bits from a job years ago but my partner always opts to use the Bosch battery 18V SDS .     Now me ,  theres a socket right there ,  I'd put the corded SDS   110V on the van and that was the drill for the job in hand ...no loss of power .  I suppose it took 1 minute to plug in .  

An even better job was when the builder phoned me to say he had all the floor joists stacked on the  deck ....was it a good idea if he drilled straight through them and if so where should he drill ?

• Compact size allows inter-joist drilling. Especially when using stubby length bits.
  
• Impact driver mechanism eliminates "grab" and makes the whole process one-handed. Useful if you're reaching off a ladder, over your head, under floors etc.
  
• High torque required is easily achieved with the impact driver resulting in more holes per charge than combi-drills.

Have any of you guys tried our Wood Beaver bits in an impact driver?

Yes I know impact drivers are noisy but they have big advantages over conventional drilling machines for this kind of work.

I started with a battery angled drill but ended up getting one of these:

pricey but excellent to use.
