Battery life amazing!
Power. Mighty Powerful
Toughness. It can do any task!
I would highly recommend this Bosch drill for anyone! It’s a staple item for your home.
Lovely points: the LED arrow that lights up on top pointing which way the drill will go.
The wee light on the base to see if low light
The battery pack battery level indicator is good to know when your running low. Or full.
Battery charges super quick!
Great drill second time buying it this time for my dad great deal on prime day
Working very well, very easy to use, two batteries. Save a lot time and energy.
Good value and works well. 2x rechargeable batteriesdon’t last too long if powering through something tough but with 2 it is fine. Nice kit, just need drill bits as none come with, just a screwdriver bit.
This new set was great value – almost 20 cheaper than the one I bought 5 years ago.
For DIY jobs I like to use two battery drills so I can have one set up as a drill and one as a screwdriver.
The original Bosch 18V drill always worked well.
The new batteries are now smaller and lighter than my original Bosch 18V driver drill batteries but both battery versions fit the drill and charger.
I recently bought a Bosch cordless strimmer without a battery and these 18V batteries also work well on the strimmer.
Needed a lightweight drill to remove and replace screws on my wooden fence. Worked well for the hour I used it on 1 battery charge so happy with that. Was light enough not to become cumbersome.
This is the best product I have purchased that I use on a regular basis.
Good solid feel yet lightweight. Useful for round the house Light home-based DIY. Happy with my purchase.
just what i needed, and the delivery was second to none
This drill is excellent for DIY stuff. Battery life is good and the drilling power and speed is very good. Happy with the purchase.
This drill replaced a 16 yr old Bosch drill driver. the battery packed up and it lost torque/
Not sorry I chose this one its lighter and also has the hammer function and 2 batteries which is a bonus.
I used to make and fit metal gates and railings, I used the last one every day I was fitting, it must have put in literally thousands of 8mm set screws and never let me down.
Thats why I went for Bosch again, I am impressed so far with this one, I think having 2 battery’s is a big bonus the last one only had one battery but in 16 yrs it never let me down.
I paid 109 for the old one and 95 for this one that cant be bad
It’s adequate for my needs for just installing furniture, curtain rails, etc.
Love this drill comes with 2 18volt batteries which are the new lithium type which hold their charge, the drill is lightweight and very powerful the driver is amazing with good range of torque settings, comes with a good case, can honestly say the best drill I’ve ever bough
Garden beds. Putting them together. Putting outside clock. Strong performing drill
I didn’t like the built-in light that is facing upwards in stead of forward and i expected a higher ah than 1.5
Hand size easy to use and good for the price
Great value for money, neat and tidy in storage box and 2 batteries – very pleased with purchase.
Don’t be fooled there’s a lot of power in this 18v drill even going through brick … all I can say I’m glad I got this
good battery, strong rotation, I am very satisfied with this purchase
The one drill you’ll need to do 90% of all household jobs. Must have for flatpacks and hanging paintings
Seems to be durable and be strong enough to tackle most DIY jobs around the home
Just about right for a home user.
Not too heavy but capable, enough power for most jobs.
The battery is long-lasting.
Comes in a sturdy carry case which initially seems way to big with lots of empty space, but is actually good for storing drills and screws in between the moulded partitions around the tool, batteries and charger.
Nice point, which I didn’t realise until I received it, is that all the other Bosch tools in this range use the same battery.
A well-balanced drill and good value coming from such an established manufacturer.
But what really sets this drill apart is its sense of humor. Yes, you read that right – this drill has a great sense of humor! Whenever I’m using it, I can’t help but chuckle at its witty one-liners and clever jokes. It’s like having a comedy sidekick right in my toolbox.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my Bosch drill. It’s a reliable, efficient, and hilarious addition to my tool collection. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a new drill or a good laugh.
Even though I have used it a few times and it has been in the box for years I still have had no reason to use the second battery and have only just charged the first battery for the first time. It does keep its charge.
I bought this a few years ago. I only do occasional diy so it has not had much use. Just the odd few holes drilled into a brick wall and that’s it mainly. I admit I liked it, easy to use and a very handy thing to have, always ready. In fact I just used the second battery for the first time as I forgot to charge the one I had been using.
Unfortunately, flames started coming out of the back and there was a lot of smoke. I hadn’t even done anything just pressed the trigger to test the drill.
When I first received this combi drill, I loved it! Problem was, I had never truly tested it.
It’s pretty good for assembling flat pack furniture. (Note that you would probably need to buy more accessories such as hex bits.) The plastic carry case is also surprisingly useful.
I also managed to use it to hang a towel rail in the bathroom. (Though this kit doesn’t come with drill bits – I had to buy those too.) This drill made nice neat holes in the grout.
The battery seemed endless for those kinds of tasks. You could assemble a whole houseful of flat pack furniture on one battery. I questioned whether I really needed two batteries.
Fast forward 3 years and now I have some real DIY tasks… and this drill didn’t fair so well.
First, I tried to drill some 16mm holes in wood to fit a mortice bolt. Drilling into a solid oak door with a flat wood bit got me nowhere. A couple of turns into the door, and it was clear there wasn’t enough torque. I had to resort to a 25 year old corded Bosch drill which struggled but eventually powered through. This drill did manage to drill a 16mm hole in the pine door frame. So I guess you can drill 16mm holes as long as it is softwood.
Then I tried to top fix some blinds. Unfortunately, my windows have concrete lintels. There’s no chance this drill can get through that. (To be fair, even the old corded Bosch didn’t make progress there.)
So, what it couldn’t do:
– 16mm hole in oak
– any hole (not even 3mm) in concrete
What is good about it:
– nice carry case
– great as a screwdriver (as long as there is enough space)
– can drill 16mm holes in softwood
– can drill into walls, as long as it’s not concrete
So on hindsight, I wonder whether I would have been better off just getting a 12V drill driver and a separate SDS rotary hammer. A 12V drill driver should be more than sufficient for flatpack furniture and they are more compact. The SDS rotary hammer would be used for drilling into brick and concrete.
It is light, compact and yet fairly powerful. The trigger allows much better speed control than my old drill which means no more breaking the heads off screws — a great blessing as drilling them out and replacing them adds time to a project. The torque setting seems as if it will be the thing I get used to last, not because it is awkward but because I have not used a drill/driver with a torque setting on it before. I doubt it will take long to get used to it. My big project this year is to replace nearly all the furniture in my home with furniture I have made myself, and to double the amount of storage space. Having the right tools for the job really helps, and this is one tool that doesn’t feel as if it is going to let me down.
EDIT: Did another day with this tool and it impresses me more each time I use it. I was able to use the hammer drill mode to drill into a brick wall and with new masonry bits it had no trouble. It was certainly slower than a mains powered drill would be but it was still impressive for such a small and light tool. The day was harder on the battery so I did need the second one in the kit quite early in the afternoon, but the charger in the kit can charge a battery in about an hour so this was not a worry.
When I registered for the three year warranty I was very surprised to see what Bosch provide. There are disassembly diagrams for the tools you register and spare parts can be bought once the tool is out of warranty. Not only that but the spare part prices are actually reasonable! In addition I looked around the web site and found spare parts for power drills discontinued 25 years ago. That’s proper backup for customers and gives me great confidence in my Bosch tools.
Definitely recommended.
The product is supplied in a sturdy plastic box with dedicated spaces for: the drill with battery; the spare battery; and the charger. A double-ended screwdriver bit is also included, which is very handy and takes up almost no room. The box and is made of solid plastic and feels robust, and I have no doubt it will be durable. I especially like the sturdy clips which securely close the box with a satisfying click, as well as the locking hole to keep my tools out of the wrong hands.
The drill is the main event, and it more than delivers on expectations. The drill is perfectly weighted in the hand, and its soft-touch plastic handle is a pleasure to hold. The controls to set the drill mode, torque and direction are easy to use and solidly constructed. Fitting drill bits can be fiddly and I’ve had a couple come loose in operation, but have learnt to ensure the chuck is totally closed before drilling, and that it clicks when I try to ‘over-tighten’ it. The work light, which I thought would be a gimmick, is actually invaluable for accurate drilling. It’s especially useful when you are starting a hole and need to be confident the tip of the drill bit is in the centre of your mark.
My drill is only a few weeks old, hopefully the batteries will prove long-lasting, but they are certainly weighty and the included charger is very welcome. Inserting a battery into the charger is not easy at first, but once you get used to it (and accept you’re not going to break it by applying a lot of force) it’s perfectly doable.
Suffice to say, I am very happy with my choice and would recommend this Bosch drill to anyone.
After purchasing various other Bosch tools and appliances, I decided that this was a reasonable price for a 18v Li-ion Combi Drill with two batteries so ordered it and was happy to receive it the next day with Prime.
Upon opening the green plastic case, the first thing I noticed is how small this drill is, but as they say “It’s not the size, it’s how you use it”! It actually makes the drill a bit more ‘balanced’ when holding and does help when using it in tight spaces.
The build quality is good, the plastic doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy.
I’ve noticed there is a very slight delay sometimes when you first pull the trigger and wonder if this is a result of the Syneon Chip which intelligently manages the drill power, gears and motor. This isn’t really an issue, you just have to make sure when drilling into things like wood, to make sure it is running before applying more pressure as if you push too hard before it is spinning, it loses the traction on the drill bit.
The battery life is great and charges quite quickly. I’d recommend buying the two battery set (especially as it’s cheaper at the moment) as it’s a lot more convenient to have a battery charging whilst using the other.
The battery indicator is a nice feature, as is the light which shines perfectly on the drilling site.
I’d also recommend the Bosch X-Line 50-piece Accessory Kit which works great with this drill.
I’ve read a couple of reviews saying that it is underpowered, but I honestly haven’t noticed this. It’s more than suitable for drilling into brick, but as with most drills, if you want to drill into concrete, buy an SDS drill.
In all honesty I didn’t originally buy this model for the hammer drill function, I already had a powerful corded drill on loan for masonry drilling so bought this mainly for the regular drilling and screw driving functions, but the price difference between the regular and combi version of this model was so small it seemed silly not to just go for the combi anyway. Nonetheless, this little piece of kit has really pleasantly surprised me, I’ve used it for drilling into brick several times already and it’s handled it no problem. Now granted I’m only talking between 3mm and 6mm holes in regular house brick, but nonetheless I’ve been impressed by how much this compact little unit will handle without complaint. It has also handled all the typical screwdriving and wood drilling applications you’d expect without complaint. Considering it technically comes with a little less torque than some of it’s competitors (but comes in a little lighter as a result, so swings and roundabouts), as a casual DIY-er I’ve yet to come up against a situation where I felt it was lacking for it’s purpose
I’ve only had this drill for a short while so can’t comment as to how well the batteries last and how well it continues to perform over a long period of time, but on early impressions I’m very impressed and extremely happy with my purchase. Just be sure to use decent drill bits with it (true of any drill), I at first had a feeling it was slightly misaligned as it was wobbling in my hand in use, but it turned out that I was just using a cheap drill bit which had bent!
This is a superbly designed drill, and a lot of thought has gone into the aesthetics of use. It sits wonderfully in the hand and if you refer to the Item Photo, most individuals index finger will extend three quarters along the main body, and the rear of the drill, will be about one inch towards the wrist beyond the lower hand knuckle. Yes its small, and that’s its real Big Picture telling point ….. the adds hugely to the flexibility and adaptability of the drill as you go in and out of tight drill situations.
The index finger naturally rests against the trigger, and the red slider top centre in the photo is an easy to use reverse/forward gear changer that can be operated with ease with the thumb without moving your grip on the handle. The battery position and weight combine nicely to produce a very well balanced drill in use, with minimal fatigue – the weight (such that it is) of the battery nicely counter-balancing the weight of the Drill main body. The mounting and securing mechanism for the drill bit is vastly superior to the previous version, Bosch listened well to feedback, and have eliminated the old problem of loose drill bits. The main speed controls on the top of the drill are easy to understand and twist/change with your free hand. All in All an excellent design that has the aesthetics and ergonomics nailed.
When you use it for the first time, you know you have quality in your hand. The trigger and speed mechanisms are precise, have a solid chunky feel about them, and have a firm – almost authoritative (!) – quality to their use when changing the various drill characteristics. The speed controls and trigger are pretty well infinitely variable giving precise control over your efforts. The latter frees up other worries in your mind, and you can just go ahead and concentrate on the job in hand. If you are thinking of the Bosch Drill Sets in the Green Boxes, without a doubt go for the larger set, at these prices they are a no brainer, and the Bosch X103Ti Drill Set complements this drill superbly – 103 drills and bits for just over 25 in their own carry case is a no-brainer.
I genuinely cant think of any bad aspect to this drill – it ticks all the boxes anyone wants to think up. Run don’t walk to get one 🙂
