good tool
So far I’ve been very satisfied with this Bosch 18v drill. I like the compact size which means it’s light and easy to handle. I put this drill through some intense testing as soon as I got it. It has ample power for any drilling or driving operations I normally do. The fact that it’s a brushless motor is going to be an advantage in future. The 2ah battery that came with it has held up well and the included charger recharges a partially used battery in ten minutes. I like it that Bosch has a complete line of larger capacity batteries should I want to go there.

Very powerful
I needed a more powerful drill for a project and the Bosch worked great. So glad I made the purchase and can continue to more projects with ease.

Not as pictured
I have a Bosch cordless drill identical to the one I just ordered. After 3 years it burned up, Yea, motor literally caught on fire. It happens, I am satisfied I got good service out of my old drill. I looked to order a new one same as the old, and found this package on Amazon. I ordered it because of the type bag that was pictured in the description. I was surprised to see that it came with the same briefcase type case that my old one was in. This is disappointing as the thing I liked least about the Bosch is this briefcase, every time I open it, stuff that I have put in the lid falls out. I can’t tell you how many times I have had to pick up the instruction book that I keep in the pocket of the lid. The drill is great, the case is disappointing.

Best every day cordless drill!
This is my second Bosch 18V. First one lasted 10+ years!

Similar to the Bosch drill I’ve had for ten years.
I am a multimedia sculptor, and I use my drills a lot. I have been happy with the Bosch cordless drill that I purchased about 10 years ago. It is still going strong. I ordered a second Bosch cordless drill a few weeks ago, and I am mostly pleased with it. Here are the differences between the new model and the old model.When I squeeze the trigger on the old drill, the bit could move very slowly. Sometimes this is just what I want to have happen, especially if I am drilling a very small hole into a piece of hardwood. The new drill seems more powerful, but it is not as subtle as the old one. Squeezing the trigger produces a medium speed or a quick speed, but I cannot seem to get it to drill ever so slowly — which is what I want at times. Also, I want to mention that when I release the trigger on the new Bosch drill, it sometimes makes kind of a clunking sound, as if it has gone from a very fast speed to zero with a fraction of a second. This is actually what has happened. I wonder if this clunking will actually damage the drill over 10,000 uses?My older Bosch drill never gave that same clunk when going from its fastest speed to zero. Not sure if I should be concerned about this.I ordered a third Bosch drill and it came in today. This way, if I am drilling progressively bigger holes, I don’t have to keep switching out drill bits. Instead, I can just pick up one drill after the other. I’m glad that I still have my old reliable Bosch drill, with which can drill a hole very slowly if I squeeze the trigger quite lightly. The new ones don’t seem to have that function.I expect battery power will be fine with my new drills just as with my old one.

Great Drill
I’ve had this drill/driver (not the hammer version) for a couple of weeks and have used it for a couple of projects. So far, I’m very happy with it. I can only compare it to my old Ryobi, which was much heavier, with older battery technology. This is far superior, handles much better, and is far more usable. It’s half the weight and yet much more powerful. My first project entailed putting in about 25 sheet metal screws, drilling a bunch of holes in dense wood and and in metal, and putting in some long screws. This used up just 1/3 of the charge on one battery. The drill provides plenty of power and it’s also easy to control at slow speeds. Batteries charge from zero in about 50 min and from half power in about half that time. (Batteries have 3-level state-of-charge LEDs on them, which is helpful). And the drill has a small LED to light up your work area. At first I thought it was too weak, but when I was working in a dark area it worked perfectly.The only snafu I’ve encountered is with the chuck. This is the first locking chuck I’ve used and the manual does not explain how to use it. For that I had to find a video online. You need to turn the chuck till it clicks, which locks it, but not further. If you tighten it beyond that point, it tends to bind when opening it. At first I thought it was broken, but avoiding over-tightening solved the problem. (There is a persistent bit of lore online that you should turn till it clicks and then turn backwards till it clicks again. This seems to be a myth. The backward turn releases it.)All in all, I’m very happy with this purchase.

I’ve only used it a few times so far but it’s very small, very light and works very well.I like the brightness of the led and the batteries aren’t too heavy so you can work overhead.A+

The first thing i’ll say is this drill is incredibly compact and light. Bosch’s tools have always felt nice in the hand but this thing is almost weightless, which is surprising given how much power it packs.I’ve been using this drill to perform tire repairs, drill through plastic vehicle covers to install accessories and drill through vehicle body panels for my own personal project. In each application the drill worked effortlessly.It’s worth mentioning that the battery life on Bosch’s CORE18V platform is always impressive. With daily use at my workplace they’ll last a week and then i’ll leave them to charge over the weekend.For all of this, it’s an incredible price.

Je possédais déjà une perceuse Bosch qui fut endommagée par l’eau. Voyant ce produit sur Amazon avec même type de batterie compatible, je tenais à le remplacer étant très satisfait de cette perceuse.

Tiene buena potencia, calidad de construcción, es muy compacto. El unico detalle que no me gustó fue el logo de la marca que viene en una etiqueta y no con un grabado como otros productos de la marca. La bolsa de transporte no corresponde a la imagen.
