  • Anyways to sum it up this drill is awesome and I would give it a nod over the dewalt

  • The best part, other then it's great performance, is that Bosch has a rebate for a free 18V litheon slim pack battery on this model. Get it, you won't be sorry.

  • This is a great cordless drill. Coming from a Dewalt 18volt Nicad this Bosch is much stronger and turns faster as well.

  • Overall pricy but a great tool and value.

  • Bosch touts these batteries as "lasting 2x as long!" I can attest that the batteries do, in fact, last a long time and retain their power up to the very end.
