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
Rating: 5
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.

Will not be disappointed
Rating: 5
Have 2 of these (4 compacts as well) in the shop. One is 6 years old and the other is 5 years old. Have been used indoor, outdoor, hot temps and freezing temps. In a manufacturing setting as well as on the mining job sites they've never let us down. Very happy with these drills and the abuse they take. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I've owned this drill for about 8 years now. Never had a problem. Even when dropping it off a ladder or using in the rain. Very dependable. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I use this drill at work 10 plus hours a day, and also have one at home, this is the very best drill/driver I've ever had, and hopefully ever need, scooping up another one as we speak for back up. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Can't beat for price
Rating: 5
Nothing will beat a corded hammer drill but this Dewalt, for price paid, is just about all you need. It's three speed and and all metal chuck are a nice change from the (becoming more common) plastic chucks. It provides power when needed (coupled with the 8AH battery) and can take a good beating. I am not a professional but do use my Dewalt drills for a lot of around the house and "can you help me with this" tasks. The drill is on the heavier side but is not a complaint from me for price paid and product given. Would buy again! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

It will drill through concrete and brick, but not really through the stone. Can take some beating no problem. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This hammer drill impressed me the first time I used it. Still does a year later. I absolutely love this drill. All the power you need to get through the toughest of jobs.

All you need in a drill. Reliable and powerful. 20v

Best hammer drill on the market period.
Rating: 5
I’ve owned several brands of power tools and dewalt is by far the best one out there. My tools are my money makers and nothing even comes close to the quality and dependability of dewalt. They’ve been left out in the rain, frozen solid, fallen off roofs and out of scissor lifts, dropped in puddles of mud and in the dirt and they still come to life every time I pull the trigger. Don’t settle for anything else. Buy the best, buy dewalt [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Last drill you will ever need!
Rating: 5
Very satisfied with all my 20v tools. I use this my drill almost everyday and even though it no longer looks pretty, the performance is! Never really had a dewalt tool I wasn’t satisfied with. I’m not a brand loyal type of guy but when I’m ever in doubt, or choosing between brands I’ll go with dewalt. There comes a point in time when you realize it’s not worth it to cheap out....
