As I said earlier this is one of many cordless drills I have in my workshop, (why one person needs so many even I don’t know so please don’t ask, ... ...on the shelf), but this Bosch has lasted me quite some time and has never failed me one little bit in all the abuse I have given it.
Although this drill is a nice tool to have at your side, giving you the capabilities of drilling through many materials, it is the actual drill bits which do a lot of the work for you, but having the right drill to ’spin’ those bits through is a big help and this Bosch is certainly the right drill at the right price. ...
Advantages: Light Weight, Professional Grade, Easy To Use Disadvantages: Not Lethium Ion, so charging times are alittle longer.
In my opinion one of the best combi drill i have used. I am a certified electrician and i use it for all types of work i carry out. It's nice and compact (compared to other 18V drills) which is a plus when is comes to getting in really tight places. I would recommend it to anyone. I have tried a lot of drills in my career, by all means this one has beat them all. Anyone out there tired of spending money on expensive drills, just to hassle with instructions ...

Advantages: Good for screwdriver use and simple drilling Disadvantages: Not powerful enough for brickwork
I picked up one of these about six months ago from B&Q for around £60. There must have been some offer on at the time as I got this exact model, but with two batteries. The drill is pretty good. It is light in weight, but quite powerful. Using it to drill into wood is fine. To put screws in, again very good. I managed to put up a small shed, which involved using for screws only. The battery lasted for almost the complete job, so I was glad I had ... ...you are looking to do a lot of DIY work. This is especially true if you need to drill into walls and more importantly brickwork. It can handle plasterboard fine, but needs a hammer function to handle bricks and concrete. As a drill/driver it is pretty good though. Buy wisely though as currently you can pick up Makita drills, cordless, with hammer action, plus a spare battery for under £100. I purchased a Makita and the difference is like chalk and ...
Advantages: As useful as a mains hammer drill, except where extremes of power are needed. Disadvantages: Needs regular use to get the best from the batteries
...is.) My Swiss-made Bosch 12v Cordless drill (PSB12VSP-2)comes as part of a pair with a smaller tool (PSR 120)intended mainly as a screwdriver (although it drills wood OK), in a smart carrying case. They are both “drill-shaped”, i.e. with a pistol-grip and trigger.
Screwfix are currently asking £189 for the set, but I bought mine a few months ago in Hereford for £149.
Even then, I admit that’s still quite a lot to pay, compared ... ...what do you get for your money?
A 12v Drill with hammer action, reverse, a 2-speed gearbox for some real low-speed screw driving power, electronic speed control in the trigger, variable torque settings when used as a screwdriver, keyless chuck with lock for easy fitting/removal of bits (just twist the rubber collar around the chuck) and a clip-on torch for those niggly little dark places requiring the mains switched off! There is an automatic brake ...
