Bosch Cordless Drills
What to look for when purchasing a Bosch Cordless Drill
If you are looking for a Bosch cordless drill there are many options available but the determining factor is what you will be using it for. I would recommend at least 14.4 volts as power and tourqe are important to be able to power through even hard woods. As of late Bosch cordless drills have become more popular with the DIY crowd.
The United States has played a vital role in Bosch’s history. Back in 1906, our founder, Robert Bosch, a man of enterprise and vision, believed that one of the products he developed -- the magneto ignition system -- would provide a technological innovation that would be enthusiastically accepted in the U.S. marketplace. The product was a great success.
The main difference in price levels are the internal parts of the drill. The casual use drills used by the diy crowd, will most likely have plastic gears while the professional models ,around twice as much, will have metal gears. I have included an excellent buying guide in .pdf available here.
Battery life is also a big factor and whatever drill you purchase, I would recommend buying a backup battery if you are planning to use it for an extended period of time. That way you will have no down time while charging a battery.
The following is a list of some of the Bosch cordless drills available at Amazon. The reason I have choosen Amazon is the fact that over-all, they have the best prices online when combining the fact that most qualify for Super Saver free shipping.
