Yeah, Will's correct. The Yerba Crew's petrol powered beast is still going strong. Goes all day on the smell of an oily rag too! [But it needed a service once - Steve couldn't be bothered fiddling with it.]

Neil's right too - you must be absolutely vigilant with both the fuel near any nylon and the hot drill near same! When using it you just need to get in the right position before starting to drill. Once that's done, any hole is quickly drilled. Obviously it's a bit of a pain up under a roof or really steep stuff. We carry it into the crag in a separate pack from gear etc and store it is a well sealed plastic tub for the car trip. Once you have good systems worked out, it's great.

The noise is just like a chainsaw, but is over very quickly. Who's bolting isn't the question when you hear it. You just think someone's cutting wood! And noise is only an issue in very popular/tourist areas! And we have 'electric friends' for those situations! Thankyou - you know who you are.
Michael
