Good Tool!
Rating: 5
The drill is balanced and comfortable to use. I like the longer cord making it more convenient than hunting down an extension cord. The drill has plenty of power and I like the hammer drill, both functions operate perfectly. The drill has plenty of power (using a 6" hole saw I needed the side handle due to the strong torque). The drill came with a depth gauge, chuck wrench, rotatable side handle and a nice case. The only potential problem is the side handle is difficult to tighten, having a rather small wing nut making it difficult to snug up.

Like it big time!

Bought it to help build a small wooden deck over a concrete base. Drill was used to anchor screws and bolts to substrate. Found it to be very reliable and powerful. Cut overall job time considerably.

great price for the quality
Rating: 5
only had it for a few months and just love it. i have a regular bosh drill i purchased 15 years ago and still works great. had to change the chuck once and that is understandable. no other maintenances were done.

Fine product
Rating: 5
Sturdy, yet light, this drill does a great job. A switch on top allows one to use it as a regular drill or as a hammer drill. Good buy for the money. Nice case, as well.

I bought it to mix cement and grout for tiles and to replace/support my old drill. Along the way I used it to drill tiles. It is strong and easy to use. So far I love using it.

Simple and aggressive
Rating: 5
First time using a hammer drill, so it is a bit aggressive when at max speed. I used this adding a 2/4 wall on my cement foundation. My holes would be 1" deep. I had my concerns being too aggressive, as I didn't want to harm the motor or damage the drill bit. Not making much progress, I eased into being more aggressive and let the drill do its thing. My first hole took about 10 minutes. Afterward, my next holes took about a minute each. As a practice, I counted to 10 seconds then cleaned the debris.

Did the job well!
Rating: 4
I used this hammer drill in framing my basement, attaching base plates to the concrete floor. It worked very well on the full job. The drill has plenty of power and torque for the job. Our only problem was stripped Robertson screwdriver heads when drilling in screw. We burned through quite a few screw drivers as the torque was so powerful. I subsequently learned there are specialty bits for the diver that may be more effective. But ver satisfied with the power of the tool itself.

Powerful motor.

I wanted to drill holes in some concrete steps to mount a handrail. The concrete is about 20 years old so getting pretty hard by now. The hammer drill worked really well, much easier than I expected. It went so well that I was able to surprise my wife with a new handrail when she came back home after a morning trip out! Lots of brownie points!

Not quite what i was hoping for
Rating: 3
I bought this tool to drill some weep holes in a concrete deck. It performed well enough for its design. I had to rent a roto hammer to complete the job. Am keeping it for normal drilling into concrete walls for fasteners and such.

Great little impact driver
Rating: 5
I bought this as a bare tool to go with my PS31 with 2 batteries. Had it for at least a year. Just tried the impact feature. It drills holes for concrete screws fast and almost effortlessly. These two little drills have done every drill and drive job flawlessly. From assembling a large utility trailer to driving forstner bits up to 1 3/8" in hardwood, hole saws for installing door lock sets.

My second PS130 - killed the first
Rating: 4
Really good drill, poor chuck: This is my second PS130 - I killed the first one drilling a 3/8" hole into some really tough concrete. (To be fair, that same concrete had my corded Milwaukee 1/2" hammerdrill too hot to hold comfortably after 4 holes.) Obviously I like the drill enough to buy the same one as a replacement (but that is really only because the GSB12V isn't available yet and I needed the cordless hammer). I have two areas that I would change on this drill. 1: This common to pretty much all modern drills: The switch to select forward and reverse is FAR to easy to change when trying to remove something. The way my hand falls frequently pushes the switch from reverse to forward which really makes a mess when I'm trying to remove a screw. My old Makita 12V (NiCAD) drills had the switch on the left side of the grip where it was easy to move with a thumb.... but I'm right-handed. So while I understand the current ambidextrous switch I don't really like it. 2: I HATE the chuck that Bosch uses on their 12V drills! Way too slippery and with only one ring you have only the inertia of the motor/geartrain to work against when trying to loosen a bit that has been (perhaps hot from drilling) made too tight. Plus - Bosch uses a 1/2-20 thread for the chuck and as far as I can find no one makes any 3/8" capacity 1/2-20 chucks other than Bosch... That plus the recess on the front of the drill (where the chuck slides to engage the hammer function) means that unless you just happen to have a metal lathe (lucky me!) typical 1/2" chucks won;t work in the hammer function (or maybe even fit the drill at all). Did that stop me from buying a PS130? Obviously not. I'm overall totally happy with the Bosch 12V platform! I started with a PS11 angle drill - not a really robust tool, got I figured that since I already had the two 12V batteries I'd try their other 12V drills and I'm hooked. (The PS60 recip saw is probably my favorite. I haven't used my old Makita corded recip since I got it.)

Not perfect, but best drill in the class
Rating: 4
This is my 4th PS130. Maybe in this ten years. It's kind break fast, but I am okay with that. I have tough usage. Concrete, thick Metals cuts etc. Good part is I only can buy drill tool only and I don't need to rebuy battery and chargers. I wish you make 1/2" chuck and EC brashless in this. So, far this is the best.
