Customer Reviews:

Strong drill [Posted on 2007-12-15]
I bought this because my Makita drill couldn't keep up. This drill is much more powerful. I don't use the depth gauge so that was no problem. The case does look cheap. I sat and worked the clips that hold the case closed back and forth expecting them to break. They didn't, that doesn't mean they are good though. The variable speed quit under heavy use. Still for the price I think it was a good buy and would do it again.

Great Drill [Posted on 2008-01-07]
This drill has done all I've asked of it. I've owned it about a year now and have used it mostly for drilling in concrete, block and stone. It has plenty of power, runs smooth and I love the full trigger. The depth guage works great for me. I am not a contractor but do many jobs for and with friends and family and am also remodeling my house so it has been used alot. I would highly recommend this tool.

Very good drill [Posted on 2008-04-07]
The drill is very nice. Used it with a 3/4 masonary bit and a 1 1/2 spade bit, had plenty of power for it. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is the case. It is cheap plastic and I doubt it will last long.

Powerful, flexible, well-made drill [Posted on 2008-04-28]
Well, this is a very solid, well-made drill that's smooth and easy to use. Relatively light but very powerful, it drove 10-inch timber spikes easily, especially on the high-torque setting. Haven't needed the hammer capability yet.

I was cross-shopping the well-regarded Milwaukee Magnum Hole-shooter for about the same price. The Bosch is rated at 8 amps (vs. 5.5), and of course has the 2-speed drive gearing and the hammer-drill capability, neither of which is available on either the Magnum ($90) or the 8amp Milwaukee ($160).

Although the Bosch case is lightweight, at least they include a case! It's held up for me so far, and I've not broken the depth gauge either. Not sure why people downgrade these "extras" when the drill itself is the star and at a good price, too. Highly recommended.

Bosch can keep the fancy chuck key and give me a better case! [Posted on 2008-05-02]
Pros: It's corded; no more rechargables for me! The drill itself has met my hobby level wood working expectations.

Cons: It's corded; cord like all cords gets in the way. Cheap, low quality case. When open, the case is flimsy and the hinges are very thin. The plastic inside the case is sharp and jagged. The layout inside the case in not intuitive and will take a couple of trys to get everything back in. The chuck key has a spring loaded needle at the end that will eject the key should you forget to remove it from the chuck. It complicates the insertion more than meeting its purpose.
