Editor's Review: 18v Cordless Drills: Power to Spare
by Rex Alexander
review date: March 1, 2003
This comfortable, well-balanced drill has a rubber grip and changes easily from forward to reverse. The battery is easy to install and remove and has a protective cap to guard against short circuits. The side handle attaches with a strap that wraps around the barrel of the drill, which is more difficult to install than that of some other drills we tested. The Bosch performed well in both of our large hole-boring tests. Its battery combines with six other tools.
