I was dissappointed that there were no drill bits with drill, had to buy the drill set seperate. Other than that I found the drill worked well and was easy to use.
Bought this drill as I needed a new one have used it a dozen or more times it is a fantastic drill for DIY
Its a bosch so worth the dosh and a lesson learned when it comes to a cheap drill
Bought this drill as my old one couldn’t cope with my solid rendered walls – this made short work of it. Simple to use and sturdy without being too heavy
just home DIY . i have 2 18 volt bosch drills which are great ,but not enough torque , electric always more powerful ,to me anyway.
Nice powerful motor . light to hold . As a stonemason it can handle drilling into hard materials using large drill bits .
This drill replaced a less powerful Bosch drill that has had some serious use over the past 20 years. It has the usual useful features and is easy to use. I prefer a mains powered unit as it will always be ready to work. A rechargeable battery is all well and good but so ofter before you can start work you have to wait for the battery to recharge. The length of the cable isn’t a real issue as most handymen have an extension lead and if they haven’t should buy themselves one.
I lost custody of a beloved SDS drill in a divorce and needed something with some power to do renovations in my home – the cordless drill i had been left with can’t drill through toffee.
This drill is amazing. Locking the drill bits is easy and secure, the power variability is perfect and the grip and handle is flexible and comfortable. And then it powers through concrete with ease
Drill used for multiple household and automotive jobs, it’s lightweight and easy to use
Selected this product as a Christmas present for my son. Has not used it yet but I am sure it will be excellent for the work he wanted it for.
Went through my brick wall like butter! Absolute flawless for what I needed! Couldn’t be happier with the produc
Bought as a gift was very welcome & been told it works well.
Not sure why there are so many reviews about the chuck not locking. If you press the lock button and turn it really tight, there doesn’t seem to be any issue..I am using Bosch drill bits.
Goes through brick like butter and that’s why I bought it.. My new house is all brick and couldn’t hang anything.
I got this for 32 and it’s absolutely worth that.
I needed a new drill to operate a drill powered water pump, for draining a water bed. My existing drill is over 25 years old and no longer up to the task. This was probably a bit more expensive than I had planned to spend, however it was well worth it. With adjustable speed and a lock-on function, I was able to set it up and then just leave it running whilst I got on with other stuff.
Can’t wait to try it out with the more conventional tasks for a drill.
a great robust drill for all kinds of surfaces which i was looking for.
Very powerful and light to use. I was waiting to have it on offer and with this you have enough power to do any hole you need to do on your home. Ergonomic and good value for money
Really good drill for DIY’ers . My only complaint is the bit lock mechanism which is click and lock but doesnt really work ! Other than that it is a really good driil
Robust,lightweight, ease of use.
Used for general DIY. Projects
I don’t understand why people are moaning about the chuck on this drill, it works providing you press down the button and make sure you turn the chuck as tight as you can, admittedly you need a strong grip, but most men wouldn’t have an issue with it, but I wouldn’t recommend it to the average lady, as they may struggle with it..
Chuck was easier to use than some other keyless chucks, yet when drilling into the wall the chuck kept vibrating loose, causing the drill bit to enlarge the hole. I had to keep stopping to retighten the chuck, I couldn’t tighten it any further to prevent it happening.
Great cheep drills, I’ve had three in the last 20yrs they work well, but don’t last for eve
I had started some DIY with a drill I’d been given many years ago. Which then broke. So this was my official purchase of my first drill. For me this was money well spent. I have to admit that I’ve got through so much work using this Bosch drill. Ease of use, weight and functionality this drill for me has it all. Very Happy.
Good strong drill. My only reservations is the difficulty in releasing the drill but from the chuck
It works well for wood or walls, its a lot better than my battery drill which has difficulties on walls. No issues so far, but I’m pretty sure I do not need to buy a new drill in the near future.
I have a works drill which is my goto everytime. Unfortunately using it on concrete or brick, its not very good. So I bought the more powerful 800w bosch.
It chewed through concrete like a hot knife through butter. For me, a perfect drill.
Not used an awful lot yet but first job was to drill a hole through a stone-clad cavity wall, mostly went through it like butter, stone was a bit harder but the hammer action took care of that. Key-less chuck I’m always slightly dubious about but no complaints over bits not being held tightly enough. Only area where I think maybe a more expensive drill would have been a better bet is using it as an electric screw-driver… slow speed control is probably not quite up to that.
Vibrates like a road drill, but gets the job done. very powerful. Maybe more power than I need but I can take on bigger projects if I need or wanted to.
Read all the negative reviews but decided to risk it due to the extremely good price. I have been struggling to drill into engineering bricks with my old hammer drill, literally taking minutes to drill a 4mm wide hole 15mm deep. I had to put up a tv bracket with six 10mm wide 70mm deep holes so decided I needed a replacement. This just ate through the bricks like they were made of butter. All 6 holes in probably 30 seconds. I am very impressed.
The motor on this drill burnt out in second during a simple task. At first I thought the drill bit may have caused some friction as I smelt burning while drilling through wood. Before I could check the motor started smoking and gave up. This happened in a matter of seconds. The drill was very hot in seconds, started smoking so I stopped drilling. The unit burned for a while and was then completely FUBAR. Very poor from Bosch.
I bought this specifically for damp coarse rods, but broke it out in anger on pilot holes for two doors, I after ,a really frustrating afternoon having bits constantly slipping, figured out (after other reviews) you have to turn the bit while pressing the LOCK…totally different drill – hex bits help though – but did punch through a door with my own incompetence/inexperience , easily
I bought this after my father demanded his drill back for the fortieth time. I wanted something cheap enough to afford with out breaking the bank but sturdy enough to last.
That is exactly what I got with this. I bought it along with a set of bosch drill bits and driver set. A decision I am glad I made.
The combo of drill and bits have made light work of almost every job. Wood, metal or walls, all I managed to tackle with ease.
Always trust Bosch when it comes to electrical gadgets, this does the job and effortlessly drills holes in the wall, however it is on the heavy side, so not too practical for me.
I have nothing to item I’ve got. Very nice but not I ordered
Really liked this drill not to heavy used it the day after i bought it to drill a number of holes in a wall no effort at all would recommend this item
The keyless chuck was very useful, particularly with the auto hold facility. Speed regulation was easy to apply and, during the short time I have had the drill I have not encountered any shortcomings. So my rating of 4 out of 5 really reflects caution until I have put it to more use.
I thought about buying the EasyImpact 550 drill but didn’t like the way the Chuck had to be tightened and the single speed. So I decided on this model, I am not new to bosch for my power tools so was reasonably confident I would get a good product, which Idid.
I have used it on drills from 3mm to 13mm without any problems, even on a comical hole drill cutting through 25 mm thick aluminium plate, well over its rated maximum without any problems.
Chose corded over battery as I needed reliability and guts over portability, and battery dress do not fit my bench stand.
However, I will be replacing the keyless chuck, even though it has the lock button to assist the tightening it has still slipped once or twice, call me old fashion buti do like a keyed chuck and the hide and seek that come with one.
Would highly recommend.
I love this drill and glad to get back to a mains rather than battery one. Good to use. Stabilising handle useful in awkward positions. Very happy with it overall
This is a replacement for my old drill and it’s worth every penny. I do have an occasional problem with the Chuck though. This is my first keyless Chuck. Sometimes the drill bit simply falls out after you have tightened it. Because it can be painful on the hand I have to wear a glove and hold the Chuck whilst applying power. It’s a little tedious but so far it works.
Fantastic piece of kit for the money. Made easy work of masonry drilling even without using hammer function which my previous drill struggled with.
Well priced and perfect for the work needed – hard brick drilling.
My previous Bosch drill lasted 30 years before it died a few weeks ago. This drill looks like it will last as long. I love that Bosch parts that wear like motor brushes and thrust rollers are easy to get. This drill is powerful, smooth and easy to hold. The only negative point is that case has unused spaces but doesn’t allow for drill bits storage. I’ve thrown the case away and used my old case which has extra compartments in it for drill bits and accessories.
I bought this drill to replace the old Bosch which was over 10 years old but still working fine. This one in comparison is light but very different from my old one. It is faster and positively more powerful and does the job it meant for. Very satisfied with this drill.
I don’t know why I didn’t buy one of these years ago absolutely fantastic and thoroughly recommend even for a woman like me!
I had a Bosch, used it for 12yrs, basically the same as this version just with a chuck and less power but a green universal type. Smoke and a few ‘firey effects’ made me give up on it..but i knocked it about and by and large did the job. NOW, present day. I did my research..tempted by the Blue Bosche or another make…but in the end…weighed up..what do i actually want it for…building a decking, putting up a gate…Universal is the way to go …tempted to pay over a hundred..but went for this one, 78. And yep, happy with it. Lighter than my old one…now..the keyless chuck…doesnt seem to grip as well…and definately doesnt like it when you use – not one of those straight drill bits…i had a few of the drill bits bit newer style..my old drill held these..ok. But nope, this one just says No! and wobbles till it falls out. Anyway, overall, lighter, smaller but more powerful than my older drill….happy with it.
The only reason I am not scoring this drill 5 stars across the board is 2 design flaws. First and least important for me, is that the drill stop tool is just a light plastic rod and is virtually useless for any serious purposes. It provides a visual guide and that’s all – it simply pushes in or bends if you exert any pressure at all. The second, and more serious issue for me is the keyless chuck. It is so handy to have a quick tighten and release chuck when changing drill bits. However, because it is ”self-tightening” you cannot actually be guaranteed that the chuck will grip the drill bit sufficiently tightly under pressure. So it is not uncommon to see the chuck spinning furiously and the drill not spinning at all, in the part-drilled hole. Far from ideal!! I DO like this drill for most lighter jobs, but I would definitely NOT trust it to get through more heavy duty tasks. Pity!
It had been some time since I bought a mains-powered drill (as opposed to a rechargeable model), and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much better they have become. Compared with my old one this is a dream to use, with much more control over how it can be used, capability in what it can do, and also its power. It is simple to operate, and it does a great job too. I appreciate that it came with a case for storage and transportation, and I’m very pleased with my purchase.
If you are looking for a capable, good quality drill for home DYI projects, this is the one for you.
Good powerful drill. Needs care holding the drill bit whilst releasing the chuck otherwise it can be thrown some distance.
This is amazing value for money, but the truth is that it has two flaws that go against its advertisement:
1. The lock protection doesn’t work that well
2. The constant electronic (keeping the speed constant under load) does not work
Overall this is still a pretty good drill (and I don’t regret buying it at all), but my recommendation is to either go for the cheaper 700 model or go for a Makita drill if you have the money
Not yet used but I feel confident that it will be perfect.
This drills rocks!! Spins up faster than my cordless Bosch drill so ideal if you are drilling through harder materials like brick or concrete. Only question is can the drill bits keep up!
Torquey. I’m way north of 200lbs but this spins me round like a big fat human propeller if it hooks up.
Excellent Drill easy to use,drilled through two layers of bricks with no problems.
Excellent machine, quality built and performs as expected, love it well worth that bit extra, strong box to carry around in, did not want a battery model as it’s for occasional use only, looking forward to using this more.
Love it, ridiculously low price for a great DIY machine. I have used it loads now, including for heavy duty polishing, which is demanding as it is in action for hours at a time, with only a few minutes rest between sessions. Very happy all round.
