Re: Bosch deal at screw fix
we needed a cordless on one of our jobs due to an old ancient aeg cordless breaking. so went to wickes and got one of those bhp453 makita drills with 1 3 amp battery for £140
my mates been using the same drill for 3 years daily with no complaints. good drill.

Re: Bosch deal at screw fix
I used a Bosch cordless the other week when on site, I was trying to make a hole through some 8mm steel checker plate using a 40mm holesaw, but the damn clutch control kept slipping which was moving from the drill position to the torque position so the damn thing kept jamming. Next time I am on site I'll check out the model number!

Re: Bosch deal at screw fix
As a Bosch fan, they produce three levels of drill , which is reflected in price and performance 18v start price is 150 pounds compared to their heavy duty Robust range at 320 pounds.
So twice the price, 1kg heavier for the true professional machine.......this extra weight/ size refelcts it's Robustness ........with Bosch......you get what you pay for. ( I have both the cheaper drill and the Robust most expensive one......and they are both very different ! ...... In size, weight and performance)
Link listing models....

Incidentally my Robust drill is a real beast, on hammer it can drill into engineering bricks etc..... With ease.....I done even need to get my SDS out.
