It is a very powerful chordless drill quite useful for the proper application...I also don't see how Bosch support could be much better.
This is a great go to drill for concrete, stone and light structural steel. I haven't used it on anything heaver than a small I beam but it did 1/2" holes just fine with a good bit.
