Cordless Hammer

Dewalt cordless drill and rock drilling.?

I have a cave that Im trying to rig drops in and I was curious as to if I could use a standard cordless dewalt drill to drill a 2-3in deep hole in limestone. I usually drill the holes then hammer the bolts in with the anchor. Can I use a standard dewalt cordless drill for this job? How long you think the job will take to drill a hole that deep in that type of rock with that sorta drill? What kinda bit do I need?
I dont destroy caves i make them accessible

Limestone is pretty soft so that might work. Don't get too attached to your drill bits though! But please, try to destroy as little of the cave as possible. Caves are cool.

Top Selling 24 Volt Cordless Drills

Today I wanted to touch on some of the top selling, top rated 24 Volt cordless drills on the market.  Most of these are heavy duty drills that can take a lot of punishment and will last a many years.

Lets start with the Milwaukee 0625-24 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit.  Milwaukee introduces the new Lok-Tor 2 series of cordless driver/drills and hammer-drills. The rugged Lok-Tor series delivers high torque, long run-time and the increased durability and quality expected from Milwaukee Electric Tools. All Lok-Tor 2 models feature an exclusive all-metal, single-sleeve ratcheting chuck with carbide jaws to provide high grip torque on bits. A new Milwaukee-built high efficiency motor delivers up to 495 in.-lbs. of torque. The high efficiency motor and superior battery technology combine to provide the ultimate run-time.  Milwaukee makes a great drill and has always gotten high marks from customers who know a good drill when they use one. 

Next we are going to look at the DEWALT DC223KA Heavy-Duty 24 Volt 7/8-Inch Cordless SDS Hammer.  This compact 24V Rotary Hammer combines Best-in-Class size and weight with the power and performance one would expect from a corded SDS Hammer. The DC223KA includes DeWALT's SHOCKSTM system for reducing vibration and increasing user comfort and productivity. It also delivers a hard hitting 1.7 ft lbs. of Impact Energy and has 3 modes of operation for Hammer Drilling, Rotary Drilling, and Chipping. Included with this tool are two 24V NiCd Batteries, 1 hour Fan Cooling Charger, 360O Side Handle, Depth Rod, and a Heavy Duty Kit Box. DeWALT provides a 3 year warranty on the tool and a 2 year service warranty on batteries.

In the world of 24 volt hammer drills the DeWalt DC223KA is a perfect and reliable choice for any craftsman looking to add to their toolbox.

Now, if you need something a little more lite weight then check out the Makita BDF460SH 24-Volt 1/2" Cordless Drill/Driver Kit.  With 18 torque settings, this variable speed, reversing driver/drill delivers up to 476 in./lb of torque. Running on a powerful 24-volt (1.7 Ah) NiMH battery, it features a two-speed gear selection (0-460 or 0-1,500 rpm), industrial metal gear housing, and externally accessible brushes. The single sleeve 1/2-inch keyless chuck with shaft lock helps make bit installation fast and easy. 1/2-inch steel capacity, 1-1/2-inch wood capacity.

These are just a few of the top selling 24 volt Cordless Drills on the market today.
