First cordless drill I’ve owned and I’m very happy with it. The impact driver is brilliant too. Both feel of good quality and having 2 batteries really helps. Just hope they las
I’m no tradesman, but having the impact driver makes life so much easier. I used to do everything with just a combi drill. It wasn’t until discovering the benefits of having the impact driver I realised how much stress I could have saved myself with the little jobs around the house. I highly recomend investing in the two together and not just combi drill. The battery life of these 2.0ah batteries are dreadful so I think I’m reluctently going to need to buy a 5.0ah battery.
Used for multiple home DIY Projects and both the Drill and the Hammer Screwdriver were excellent. Perhaps could do with a handle for the hammer drill but otherwise a sound investment. Battery Life is excellent and quick to charge when required.
You get what you pay for.
These feel very professional, and so far earned their cost.
I’ve built frames, repaired fences and done other various bits around the house and garden, all done with ease.
These feel like they’ll last a long time.
Great bit of kit. Only (minor) regret is that I didn’t go for the more powerful driver (with 1/2″ square drive rather than 1/4″ hex) since I’ve finally joined the party and realised that this tool may take hours out of my car tinkering.
Hammer drill is great for everything that I don’t need an SDS to do.
It would be nice if the LED light could be locked on rather than just on the trigger but it’s a minor quibble.
Boxx system is great but eye-wateringly expensive to extend.
If these drills give as much service as my last Bosch set I will be very happy touch robust professional tools. I love the case they come with keeps your drills safe clean and easy to store hence 5 star.
It’s seems to have good build quality, I purchased it in the spring and it’s developed a fault on the trigger switch where it sometimes works then it won’t. I bought it as I already have a Bosch Professional combi drill which has been great. This is disappointing but it’s let down further by the shoddy service from Amazon EU. I will buy local for items like this in future. A few quid cheaper doesn’t make up for poor customer service.
I bought these, as my old Green Bosch Drill has sadly lasted beyond its years. the battery in it rigged with LiPo’s from a Radio Control Car so its time for a new one.
I had a Decking Project to do so the combination of the batteries the charger, along with one drill/screwdriver and impact seemed the job for me.
I had some 6 x 70mm Coach screws that I was going to use to build the decking frame with and the impact rattled them in with little or no hesitation, though I did buy the wrong coach screws at first which were 10 x 70mm and it didn’t seem to have much problem with them either.
The walls of my house are not brick but double-hard concrete. Using the Drill-Driver on hammer action seemed to have no issue with drilling the wall at all.
Using the Impact to screw down the deck boards the 2Ah battery that came with the drill appeared to give up after about 200 screws, and perhaps about 40-50 coach screws, so I was quite happy with the battery life. I think a 5Ah battery will be a purchase if I have more projects to do, but the 2Ah supplied seemed to have enough grunt.
The included PZ2 bit that came with it, didn’t fair too well, with it stripping a number of deck screws and then mangling its own end to bits along with the screws. After this project its going to need replacement. Though, in fairness, it was also used to remove a ton of screws in the old deck as well, not a total disaster.
The included L-BOXX system is a good idea, if you have signed up to the Bosch 18V system then you may as well keep everything tidy with the L-BOXX too.
This is the first tool in the Bosch Pro 18v system that I have bought – you really have to target a system that uses the same battery, it makes the setup much more useful.
Overall Solid tools what you expect from Bosch.
Bought this set for a specific heavy duty job & they’ve performed brilliantly.
The batteries charge very quick & lasted all day; the tools are really powerful – drilled right through two railway sleepers with no problem.
Specially like the drill chuck – no need for old fashioned keys just tighten by hand until it clicks.
The box is really well designed everything has its place and there’s room for a few drill bits and screwdriver bits.
Highly recommended
A must have for any DIY enthusiasts. The combi setup hasn’t left me disappointed and mated up with the Makita drill I bought I’ve got some real good drilling and screw fastening equipment here.
Both the drill and impact driver are real powerful and there’s no compromise there at all as they get on with the job in hand.
Brilliant power tools. A lot more variance from my previous Black and decker set. Much more control on the impact driver. I bought two 4mh batteries to supliment mine but the batteries that come with it are grea
It’s ok but I’m not happy with the battery life have 2 battery using them at different times and they only last 4 hrs. These are spos to be top end battery. But they don’t last a tipicale 8hr day shift. If your paying big money you want good quality.
The impact driver in particular has impressed, making various outdoor jobs driving long screws into wood an absolute breeze – its save me hours.
The battery life of both units is great… have been using them every few days for a few weeks now and only just needed a recharge.
The lights on both units are very helpful, especially indoors when the power (and therefore lights) are off.
Really happy.
Bought this drill set to replace an older model. These are a great improvement they are lighter to handle but still appear to the same high quality from Bosch.
Have only charged batteries once and they are still going strong so battery life is excellent.
The twin set is good value especially with the free tool offer from Bosch.
Highly recommended.
My only major complaint is that the charger broke within 6 months (just at the start of a big job…). This was very annoying. Note that the better charger was cheaper than the direct replacement.
I had the Hammer / Drill version of this model (which is still going strong 10years later) and wanted to have a separate tool dedicated for screws so I don’t have to change bits all the time and also for working on the car. I steered away from the next version up (impact gun) as this is really for wheel nuts and heavy commercial work such as Scaffolding etc and I wanted this to be a versatile tool in the workshop.
I bought the Bare version without the battery as I all ready have a spare with my other unit and the charging is so quick that I cant really justify needing more than two batteries.
When I opened the box I wondered if I had made the wrong decision, however I am please to say definatly havnet as this has been well used over the last few weeks and I am growing to really like its more compact size and power.
So far I have used it to swap the wheels round on our Van (so much quicker and easier) I know it wont do them up to Spec however 160nm will do initially then they need to be properly Torqued up with a calibrated wrench, so no real issue.
Around the house and workshop the screws go in so much easier and having the other bosch battery drill for pilot holes etc makes life much more efficient.
No regrets.. 🙂
