A beast of a drill thats not made in China Jan 02, 2010 By Andrea F "James F"
I was originally going to buy a Milwaukee 5.5 Amp magnum drill with the hopes of someday handing it down to my son as a testament to the quality of an American Manufactured product. Then I read the reviews and the last one posted informed me that Milwaukee had outsourced the manufacturing of that drill to China. If I wanted a Chinese drill, I would have bought a Hitachi.

So I bought the Bosch, and am very impressed. it has just as much if not more power than the Milwaukee. I drilled holes with self feed bits up to 2 and 9/16s and the drill didn't even get warm. This is a high quality poece of machinery that seems built to last. It is made in Switzerland, But that sure beats China any day.

The Side Assist Handle Design is Dangerous! Jan 01, 2012 By Kevin S. Bryck "metamorf"
The Assist Handle on this tool is not only useless, it is actually dangerous!

This Handle does not thread into a tapped hole on the side of the metal gear case housing, but instead, is supposed to friction fits onto a smooth area of the gear case right behind the chuck.

Despite turning the plastic tension screw until my thumb hurts, with work gloves on, the slippery plastic assist handle slips around the center axis, DOING NOTHING TO PREVENT THE DRILL FROM TORQUING AROUND WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS RESISTANCE.

EVEN WORSE, THE ENTIRE HANDLE ASSEMBLY THEN SLIDES OFF ITS SMOOTH "GRIP AREA" AND FASTENS ITSELF AROUNG THE KNURLED AREA OF THE CHUCK, DOING EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO DO, RIPPING THE TRIGGER HANDLE OUT OF MY HAND.

I bought this low speed drill specifically to use in high torque applications that my cordless could not handle without burning it out, like boring large diameters through framing for mechanical and mixing buckets of plaster.

This failure occurred while trying to core drill a hole through a 3/4" pine subfloor board, no knots or nails involved.

Bosch needs to get a grip on this design!

Great out of the box but..... Jun 01, 2011 By Otto56
I agree with the other posts here about the drill. I have owned this for about three years but have really only used the drill on five different occasions. Today when I got it out I got half way through a hole and it just quit. I changed outlets and fiddled with it a little and then started again then sputtered and quit for good. I opened it up and checked to see if perhaps the cord had a short but it is getting power up to the motor so it is a bigger problem than I can fix.I loved this drill until today but honestly this thing has drilled maybe fifty holes tops and nothing big. It was always taken care of and never neglected.
