Bosch 18V Lithium-Ion Drill
This drill has high impact ABS plastic with a rubber over mould, which helps with dust, moisture, and vibrations.
The chuck is also a single-sleeve keyless 3/8" design, which means you can easily tighten or loosen the chuck with one hand. The clutch has 15 settings, ample for all my drilling needs.
This drill has a pressure-sensitive trigger that allows you to control bit speed for precise drilling or screwing applications. The more pressure, the faster the chuck spins.
The triple speed range of 0-450 (low gear) and 0-1500 (medium) and 0-2000 rpm (high gear) is adequate for any drilling and driving task. At the highest torque setting the drill delivers 400 in-lbs of torque. I could easily drill 3/4" holes through double 2 by 4s and 1.5" holes through 1" hardwood. Sinking large screws and setting large lag bolts does put puts a strain on the motor.
The drill comes with an LED work light. that is handy in badly lit tight spaces. The light is below the clutch, so it can throw shadows on your work.
The drill isn't too heavy (3 Ibs) and is comfortable using for overhead work. (I used it to put up a drop ceiling.) It's well balanced as well and can stand upright if you put it down on the battery pack.
The drill comes with two Li ion and a fast charger (45 minute charge time) and a handy kit box.
I've been using this drill/driver for about a half year, and I'm very satisfied with it so far. For $190
I would have expected battery charge indicator, and a belt clip or a side handle. Not big things, but I find this drill meets 95% of my drilling or driving tasks. I highly recommend buying it on sale.
