I was expecting a bit more
By The Dude
I purchased this drill about 1 year ago when they first came out. I was thinking with the litheon technology this tool would be a little lighter, but much more powerfull with 36 volts. I am a general contractor and have been using and abusing cordless drills for some time now. I sold my 18V Dewalt XRP 4 piece set for this drill (I hate cordless circular saws and sawsalls due to their incredibly short battery run time). This drill is not that much more powerfull than the Dewalt, but it is much more refined. The Bosch has a VERY smooth feel while driving screws and the batteries last a long time. I have two slim batteries and one fat battery. Other than the slight upgrade in battery life and power, it's not much better than the Dewalt XRP collection. You would think with a 36V rating, you'd be getting a monster cordless drill, but I think 36V (even with litheon technology) is a waste of weight. 18V is the perfect power to weight ratio. The drill has not failed me, and I have in fact been hard on it, but wait until an 18V version of the Bosch comes out.

Awesome drill
By J.K.R
I have been using this drill for about a month now, and it is an awesome drill. Solidly built, it feels strong and tough just holding it. I am an electrician, so I abuse my powertools. I drill a lot of holes through 2x4's, 4x4s and thicker and through metal, and it has yet to dissappoint me. I even use it in place of a hole hawg! I used to have a Dewalt, and after using this bosch, I would never buy Dewalt again. The motor is quiet, the batteries last much longer, it's light weight, the charger is fast, even the gauge on the battery that tells you how much power is left works great...it's just a very well built and designed tool. The only complaints I have, and they are minor, is that the case is a little bulky and leaves no room inside for bits and accessories; the RPMs could be a little higher, but I haven't had aproblem with them.Overall, great tool, great warranty, and I only paid $230 for it on Amazon, who, as always, has great service.

By W. Stohler
Just received this today and haven't had a chance to break it in yet. I weighed it, and to the tenth of a pound, with the compact batteries, it weighs the same as the 18V version. It is slightly larger, as is the case. On point of confusion: both the Bosch website and every other site selling this lists the unit with a 'hammer drill' clutch. It doesn't appear to have one (and the manual doesn't say anything about it either). I'm actually happier without, but if you need a hammer drill, don't buy this one!10/21/08: After using this new drill for several jobs around the house with the compact battery, I'm dissapointed in that the RPM doesn't seem as fast as the 18V version. I'm not sure if adding the high-capacity battery would help.
