I count this in the top five purchases in my life. Extemely high quality, very powerful. If you use this drill in any normal way, you will be very happy. If you use it in abnormal ways (see below) you will be astounded.

br /It drilled a half inch hole in BRICK with cheap bits intended for a hammer drill (the bits didn't survive!). I only managed to max out the drill trying to extract rusty 3/8 inch lag screws from treated 4 X 4's, but my conventional plug-into-the-wall-drill did no better (I was using an adapter to drive hex ratchet sockets). When I say max out, there is some kind of safety torque thing which keeps the drill from harm.

br /This drill passes the ULTIMATE consumer test, in which the manufacturer must be smarter than the user, and foresee the user's lack of expertise.

br /EXTRA Value: 2 batteries, long warranty.

br /Wow.

This is a great drill. I replaced a Dewalt 14.4 drill with the Bosch. This drill has a lot more power than my Dewalt. I am able to easily drill with a 1" bit through spruce studs with no problem. I have also drilled some 1/4" hardened steel using low speed. The drill has the power to maintain the required slow drill speed without the motor stalling. The battery last much longer than my Dewalt did when it was new. I like the plastic case the drill came in, but it would be nice if there was room to store my Bosch Flashlight and more room to store drill bits. Great product and fast shipping.

Has the torque to spin those big wood screws, that sucked the life outa my old yellow drill. i won't mention the brand, of that which was replaced. that being the yellow one. :)

I bought this drill because it got great reviews, looked nice, had a ton of power and was made in Switzerland as opposed to most of the other ones out there that are made in China. I know that everything is cheaper to produce in China, but if a company is cutting corners in that regard, it makes me wonder what other corners are cut (quality and materials?). I know this isn't necessarily true, but in my experience it's been a good guide. I don't abuse the drill and it has treated me with respect as well;) I had also considered a dewalt drill (mexico) but heard the chucks were problematic. I also was going to buy a milwaukee which I thought was made in Germany, but i guess they just ended that for Czech production and now it's already onto Chinese production. I would really love a US made cordless drill, but there are none left, so for now, i'm quite happy with my Swiss made Bosch.

This is an excellent drill from an excellent company with a great proadvantage program offering free guarantee on drill and batteries. Amazon was amazing as well

I have two of these drills on the jobsite and use them constantly. The battery life is awesome, and the 30 minute charging cycle is great too. I have put this drill through its paces, and I am yet to come across a task it couldn't handle. Awesome tool.

This drill has sufficient power and stamina to get the job done. I used the drill to install rain gutters on a house without recharging the battery. The reason I did not give this drill a 5 star rating is because of its weight. 6 lbs. is heavy for a drill, but the weight is directly related to the quality of the tool. All metal gears, in my opinion, are worth the extra muscle needed to use the drill for extended periods of time. Also, this may not be a huge factor for a professional contractor.

I am a Residential Contractor and I am quite pleased with my purchase of this drill and all of its components. I also like that it works well with the Bosch Site Radio/CD player that I got for Christmas. The radio can charge the batteries and also work using the batteries. This drill kit came with two batteries and I had purchased a battery to use with my radio. Now I have a site radio to keep up-to-date on the news and to play any music I like. It also has plugs to be able to use any electrical components. With the drill kit I have something that is very efficient. Both products give good service and do more than they are advertised to do.Factory-Reconditioned Bosch PB10-RT Power Box Jobsite AM/FM Stereo

THIS TOOL IS THE SECOND IDENTICAL PURCHASE AND IT IS THE BEST CORDLESS I HAVE EVER OWNED. IT'S FEATURES ARE GREAT AND HAS VERY GOOD POWER.

Over the years, I have learned not to waste any of my hard earned money on any power tool thats not a Bosch. They are quite, powerful, smooth and dont get hot!!!

This product is excellent and I have tried several other brands. I would recommend this to anyone.

Bosch gets the job done ...... another great product from a company that does not just sell tools they design and engineer tools that "work".

Both batteries on my Bosch Brute split and the forward reverse swith fell off. This drill has been used little and I was disapponted in it. I love Bosch tools, but would be hesitant to buy another cordless drill.
