Trumpy..thank for the welcome.if you pick up the hilti make sure you pick up the attachment like gramps said.i myself do not have the attachment.and will pay later for sure.

Lighthouse,
Onya mate, advice heeded.
The Hilti is the best drill, I have ever used.
Masonry work is never a problem with one of these, but most of the time, all we use this versatile drill for, is drilling holes for Rawlplugs and Dyna-bolts, and the odd bit of chipping work.

If you have a bench grinder available. I always grind the blunt rounded end that the rods come with to a point. We have a lot of clay in our soil here, and I feel that it pushes through easier. I don't know if it helps or not, but I've convinced myself that it does.
