What drill do you guys use for this job a mains powered 240v drill or a 12v battery drill?

I use an 18v dewalt with a Bosch cobalt 8mm bit. Takes about 4 seconds per bolt

Easy as pie

Been looking for a decent drill bit for ages, usually wreck at least one titanium bit each spider change! I’ll give these a try! Thanks for the tip

I bought mine from Tool Station, it’s very reasonable. Around £6.

I must say that it works like a treat, like you said “eats metal for breakfast”. Wish I had known earlier as it would make my life a lot easier!

You need to buy cooling agent to use the drill bit, Tool Station sells them for around £3.50.

I also used a Worx 24V drill. It was on special offer years ago, I think I had it for 5 years and it is still going strong. Bought myself a smaller rechargeable electric screwdriver from Lidl for £15, will see how it goes.
