Bosch 1005VSRK 5.5 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill

I bought this drill after my old Makita was stolen. I thought it would be made in either the U.S. or Germany--Malaysia is not in Germany. This tool is a piece of JUNK. It is loud, but does not have any power. I have since bought a Milwakee, and the Bosch sits on the shelf gathering dust. Don't waste your money.

I have used this model that my friend has owned for years and have found it to be reliable, powerful to the point that it puts other drills to shame, and have yet to find a project it couldn't tackle. I finally decided to buy one for myself, and am glad I did. The only complaint I have is that sometimes it is too powerful to control when you need to go slow. I highly recommend it.

I was very pleased with the quality,price,delivery and sales transaction at Amazon. I have never been disappointed with Amazon.

How can you beat it for the money? I have probably 8 different battery operated drills, a couple heaver duty Porter Cables and even an old Rockwell that's over 25 years old. They all have their place. My older Bosch - much like this one and probably 15 years old is still running and the last one just like this got stolen. I bought it to keep in my work van to use in conjunction with or in place of my battery driven drills for those times when you need more speed, consistancy, power or for when the last battery dies.
It's nice and light, comfortable to use and it does a good job. It certainly isn't for use with a 4" hole saw, but if you took your time it'd probably do that too. Great for occasional use and the factory rebuilt tools seem as good as the new ones. If you need a heavier drill, then spend more money. I wouldn't expect this to hold up to day in an day out heavy abuse, not for the price, but then again, my other one has lasted.

It works decently for me, but it isn't extremely powerful or anything. I mainly use it as an extra driver for wheelchair ramps where it keeps up with a master mechanic 18v driver.
