Cordless Drill for Tree Bolts

[Buckhorn70]

Looking for suggestions on a quiet/powerful/compact cordless drill for tree bolts?

Something I can take in and pre-drill trees for future hunts or maybe even use for a drill/climb/hunt situation at times.

Get a brushless drill. They have more power. I know a 12 volt Milwaukee fuel brushless will drill a tree. I am not sure how many trees. But it has lots of power. Dewalt makes brushless tools too
I only drill one tree at a time

Mikita used to make the lightest, most compact, but I think the Milwaukee is close. I’ve used the Mikita for several years, no issues.

I use the dewalt Xr to run my 6” ice auger. I can drill about 75 holes through a foot of ice on a 5 amp hr battery.

Milwaukee brushless 12V has 2 speeds and the battery lasts ALONG time.

Are y'all planning on using the drill/bolts for hang & hunts?

This is what I use. Have had good luck with Makita batteries over the years. $10 coupon if you sign up for newsletter. Watch for specials...i was able to get a free battery when I ordered mine.
