stevew Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yes thanks for that, that is what we use but what type of drill do you use. We have tried 18v and 24v but they only last about 12 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D A MacDougall Fencing Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 The atom drill is a attachment that goes on a chain saw I've had mine for 7 years it's still going strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryG Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 We use Hitachi brushless motor 18v metal gearing superb drills and comes with 3 years warranty and the after sales service is superb!! Also have the Stihl br45 for when the batteries go flat!! We use the next size up drill bit to the 19mm to make it easier to adjust the gates 6 months down the line, I find if you drill through a gate with a 19mm to fit the adjustable hinge the gate struggles to move along the bolt......

Both from nearly new, the current one is 10 months old so is doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
