The Bosch 34618 I bought recently is very light and well balanced, I usually get larger drills for the power but this one performs as well as the larger models.
The Bosch Cordless Drill/Driver was an excellent buy. It is now my "go to" drill.
Great drill. Well balanced and strong for the 18 volt size. This is also lighter than a 14.4 volt Dewalt I have.
Bosch Pro Tool! What a great drill that has the power & longevity with this new battery technology! Charges in 30mins real time unlike other competitors!
