I purchased this drill along with a Makita BDF452 and gave both a workout in my garage. My test former 2"x6" pressure treated paddle. My goal was to test power, battery endurance and comfort of consume. With both drills, I drilled qty (10) 1" spade bit holes, qty (20) 3/8" bit holes and sunk qty (75) 2" drywall screws. My hand and arm were tired so I pause, but suffice it to say, neither drill cease, so I called battery endurance test a tie. I maintain the Bosch had slightly more power and rush, but the Makita had plenty of both for my needs. Both drills gave your arm a noble twist when the spade bit would find and possess. In a finish bustle, I declared the Bosch the winner in power category. The Makita was clearly a more comfortable drill to expend. It fit my hand well and the trigger was easy to utilize. The Bosch handle is configured at a bit of an angle and while using the spade bit the abet of the drill seemed to press into my hand. Also, during spend my finger naturally moved to the bottom of the trigger and it became a bit unhappy. Both drills are very well built and neither got hot during my tests. At the slay of the day I preferred the Makita because it was slightly smaller (about 3/4" shorter) and clearly had a more comfortable grip status during spend.
Great drill! I am Contractor and currently have the 36v Bosch litheon drill (Dewalt XRP before that), but I got tired of using it for smaller projects like hanging doors and installing cabinets due to it's rotund size and weight. I now regain myself using this drill for everything. It has an splendid power to weight ratio and is very smooth/refined. I have the slim pack batteries and they believe a friendly charge. I will mild withhold the 36V around but it may ruin up collecting dust. I have only owned the 18v for two weeks now so I can't comment on it's long term reliability, but I have primitive it for sinking numerous 3" deckmates into framing promenade, speedbores, shrimp holesaws, backerboard screws, and other fasteners. I can't comment on it's mixing ability (mortar and other cement mixtures), but that's what electric corded drills are for. As an every day user, I am very cheerful with this remove.
Used it to construct 4 picnic tables from Rockler plans in a college class. Four work crews, 3 days, hundred of screws in green treated move, one charge. Astounding torque, did not need to recharge. Students are Construction management majors and future shop teachers. They were impressed, as was I. Preschoolers came and helped assemble the tables (donated to their preschool) and the clutch worked well to allow the screw to be driven to the honest depth. I fancy this drill. Oh, and the light is sweet when working in shadowy areas.
