I think if you are doing that many holes in one shot, any corded will beat a cordless. I know our cordless Dewalt drills have done hundreds of holes.

I had to put about 100 or so (maybe more) holes in my basement to mount things on. I took about about 14 hours to put in about 50. The DeWalt broke. I then found the Bosch and it did the other 50+ in about an hour. That said, the DeWalt cordless hammerdrill is damn handy. Not everywhere has power convenient nor needs 100+ holes. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Chuck Hogg" <ch...@shelbybb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 29, 2009 8:35 AM To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Antenna Mount extensions > We have Dewalt Cordless Hammer Drills that I have used that get thru > Brick, Mortar, Foundation, etc. Have had the same ones in service for 2+ > yrs, only had to get new batteries every 1-2 years.
