GREAT DRILL/GREAT PRICE/GOOD VALUE
Rating: 5
So far I am pleased with this unit. Fairly compact for an 18V. Love the variable speed. For my needs (homeowner/DIY) I am certain it will suffice. I would recommend.

Great choice

Amazing tool. I am very statisfied. It has enough power and quiter sound. The 2.0A battery is enough for hours of use. I dirlled almost 300 screws without charging again.

Nice little drill
Rating: 5
Standard (non-brushless) model, has a little burnt smell to it when running, but to be expected. Features and solid and unit is a good weight.

GSR18V-190B22 18 V Compact 1/2 In. Drill/Driver
Rating: 5
I was building a large new deck and needed a replacement drill for my Dewalt 20v cordless drill - the (2) batteries die quickly right from the time it was purchased and the drill has limited power. It is pretty close to being useless. Thought I would try the Bosch drill and it was the best thing I could have done. The drill has more than enough power and the batteries have been exceptional. Great purchase!

Perfect compact drill
Rating: 5
I now have two of these drills. Hands down a very good tool. Very tough, lots of torque to drive in 3" deck screws...light weight...only thing missing is a place to store a driver bit or 2...I epoxied a strong magnet on mine just above the LED light...problem solved...

Great gift
Rating: 5
This was an unexpected gift to replace my old Dewalt portable. I must say my initial findings are very positive. In particular I am impressed with how balanced this new gun is, it also feels lighter, and that combined with the balancing I am sure result in a very workable tool.

Well balanced
Rating: 5
The title does not just refer to it's uses as a drill and driver but the balance of the tool itself. I bought it to supplement another cordless drill with this Bosch primarily to drive screws. The great balance and center of gravity make it very easy to hold and makes keeping the alignment of the screws/bolts correct. The batteries are also very light and not just because they're only 1.5 ah but I've compared them to similar batteries.

Not Sure if I Bought a Faulty Tool
Rating: 3
I like it but it doesn't stay tight and the bit falls out. Not sure if I bought a faulty tool or if they are all like this.

It stopped working within 3 minutes.
Rating: 1
Charged the battery. It worked for 3 minutes, and then stopped. I'm returning it to the store. Considering this was a replacement for my last Bosch drill, which started sparking and smoking, I may be taking a break from Bosch for a while.

Fail
Rating: 1
I bought this new one as a backup/extra drill as I have been so pleased with my first one, which I bought about 6 years ago to replace one I had had for ten years. Just started to use it today. It is of no use. It stops drilling whenever there is very much torque demand. Is this a common problem? Frustrating as I have two drills and two ratchet drive tools all with same batteries.
