I use a 14.4v Makita that I've reviewed somewhere on these forums in the past. They don't make the one I've got anymore but it is brilliant for bolting. Hire shops usually stock Hilti drills because they are so hardwearing, both inside, as Nick mentions, and out. They were never designed for being dragged through caves though, so they do wear out.
We used to have a saying at a rope access company I worked for, 'Vile Emptum Bis Emptum' (I'm guessing at the Latin spelling). It translated to 'Buy cheep, buy twice'. I've got three Makitas that I've had for about 4 years and they have all had some heavy use but seem to keep on going. I dropped one of them 13m and it still works very well apart from the drill bit keeps falling out. Makita batteries are very expensive though. I tried some copy batteries a few years ago. They were half the price but only lasted a 1/4 of the time. I bought a pack of 4 a few months ago for ?100.00, they seem better than the original Makita ones in terms of number of bolts they will drill but they are a very tight fit and you wouldn't want to be changing a battery whilst climbing a route!!
When we were digging in Rowter earlier this year I suggested to Mark Richardson that he chatted up a local plant hire company to see if they would sponsor the project and sell one of their old drills that was on its last legs (Visually). A week later we had a second hand, well serviced Hilti and it cost ?1.00.
