As the title says, I’m in need of a hammer drill for construction projects, but interested if this drill has usefulness in route development. I would only be bolting in sandstone.
I’ve used the Ryobi 18V rotary hammer drill specifically in sandstone. Works great, less than 30 seconds for a 5” hole with a fresh bit. Quite a bit longer in basalt or granite though. I would almost guarantee the Ridgid would be as good or better than the Ryobi.
