Bosch Cordless Drill
The 10.8-volt lithium-ion battery of the Bosch brings the weight down to 1.6 pounds, and the batteries hold their charge well between uses. An LED light makes the Bosch Pocket Driver easy to use in a closet or cabinet. Its not intended for big jobs, but reviews indicate that the Bosch Pocket Driver is a great small tool, with price as its only drawback.
The Bosch number 33614 Brute Tough Drill/Driver comes in a sturdy case that safely stores the drill, a pair of batteries, charger and instruction materials. The fit and finish is first rate with all of the exterior parts appearing well made and assembled. The Bosch number 33614 Brute Tough Drill/Driver feels good in the hand, the various controls are conveniently placed and have a good feel to them.
At 14.4 volts, the batteries included in this kit are not the most powerful Bosch offers but their performance, particularly the duration, is surprising. The first few charges on new batteries are usually their weakest but these 14.4 Volt packs held the initial charge through several days of higher than normal use.
This Bosch number 33614 Brute Tough Drill/Driver is equipped with a one half inch capacity ratcheting chuck. The ratchet design means it can be released and tightened with one hand. A rubber-like ring around the chuck provides a no-slip surface that affords a good grip. Unlike some hand-tightened chucks, the gripping power of this Bosch-designed chuck is substantial. The one half inch chuck capacity means you don't have to find that old corded drill when using bits with larger shanks. This may not be a frequent problem in your shop but having the capacity is very nice when the situation arises.
