  • Overall User Rating - 4.5 of 5 Stars

  • Favorable Reviews - 5

  • Critical Reviews - 1

  • I did a lot of research before purchasing and this was the best drill for my needs...I would definitely recommend this product

  • The drill handles easily and works well...This 14.4-volt model should provide more than enough power for the average home user.

  • Slick driver...so far I'm impressed.

  • Charges fast, Light weight, great value. Powerful enough for 90% of building a house.

  • this drill is not the equal to the Milwaukee. It is heavier and not as comfortable. The batteries do not hold their charge as long and it doesn't have the power the Milwaukee.

  • This is a better drill than my old one and I will be buying more Bosch tools to replace my Porter Cable tools as they wear out.
