Bosch 36618 Review August 29, 2010
Leader77
After extensive research and looking at many cordless drills in Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. I first decided on Litheon Ion as my battery type for weight savings and long term durability having previously had NI-CD. Then I selected Bosch based on numerous other peoples reviews and on-line test reports. The Bosch 18V replaces a 12V XLT Ni-Cd DeWalt that gave me years of good service but the batteries final reached the point of not taking a good charge. The Bosch is far superior in that I have a lighter drill with more torque. It is also smaller and more compact and has a small light on the flont that helps in dimly lighted areas. Very nice product-would highly recommend.
 Good product August 24, 2010

Powerful. Keyless chuck is of high quality. Bit holder is not holding anything though - my 15 years old Black & Decker had better bit holder.
Great Drill! August 17, 2010

It is a great drill. The battery charges fast. The battery lasts a long time. The drill is very rugged. Nice carry case with it as well.
Great for light/medium use homeowner! August 7, 2010

I've owned this product for 6-8 months. After buying a home I spent a significant amount of time researching cordless drills. My comparisons and experience include NiCad Makitas (9, 14v) and Dewalts (18v). I purchased this for around the house repairs, some basement remodeling, roof work, etc (a fair gamut of home repairs in my opinion).
This is great because the battery holds a charge for so long when not being used. It will often get used for 2-3 weeks straight, then not at all for 3 months. The battery is right there where it left off. Also, only 15 minutes to recharge! (Full size batteries, optional, take 30).
Power is comparable to similarly priced NON-lithium Dewalts in the $150-200 range. Father in law is full time handyman and has done this comparison.
Overall in my research it was between this and a Makita 18v lithium, although at the time of research the Makitas had some battery issues. I would rate this the "best" new homeowner drill for someone who wants to spend a little more up front and expect a drill to last them a longer time.
Only drawbacks are chuck holder doesn't work (no biggie at all for me) and the truly only negative, no belt clip. Again I use it infrequently enough I'll trade that for better quality.
Great drill August 5, 2010

My Hitachi 18v with two batteries reached the end of its life, as both batteries failed to hold much of a charge anymore. So I moved up to this Bosch. So far, I love it. Small, light, powerful. The batteries are very small, but seem to hold a lot of power. Time will tell...
