Anyone have experience or advice with this drill? Primarily bolting limestone.

No personal experience with that particular drill, but I have the 2a 24v and it does the job, but isn't the best. I can't imagine the 18v version is very fun to use in anything but the softest stone.

No experience with that drill, but I use an 18v Makita. It works just fine even in bullet hard quartzite. 18v drills are fine.

I have the Hilti Te4A-18V. I'm drilling in granite/granitic gneiss (fairly hard rock), and it is working reasonably well for me. I am doing new bolting, rather than re-bolting, so 20 bolts is an unusually big day for me.

Thanks guys,
I had the 20V Dewalt just to see what it was like. The 18v Hilti was rated 20 something amps when I looked. Stoked to try it out on some limestone.

very nice drill, you really cant go wrong with any Hilti product. I have used the Te4 a lot but I have also used the Bosch rhh181b a lot and have grown very fond of it. That is my go to 18v drill, however Hilti has the one up on 36v drills. I would say the TE7A is one of the best cordless hammer drill money can buy. I am also very very impressed with Hilti customer service. Had an issue with a 2 year old battery and they replaced it no questions asked (keep in mind a Hilti 36v battery runs around $250-$300) and even sent me a shipping label to send the bad one back to them.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
