 Bosch drill Nov 17, 2009
This is a wonderful product for home owner or craftsman. I own a cabinet shop and have 3 of these Bosch 14 volt drill/drivers. They are very relaible easy to use and batteries last longer than other drills I have had.

Now that I have one of these, I do not know how I lived without it. Compact, light weight and lots of power. The torch takes a little getting used to. It's not like a variable speed screw gun. As for performance, it's all about keeping the batteries cool and charged. I found that during a hot day of decking, a short stint inside my cooler brought the battery temperature down enough to charge it right away, which is key when you're alternating between batteries all day. It drove 2,500 2-1/2" screws over two days, no complaints!

 Trigger is the first thing to go Jan 31, 2008
I am a professional cabinet installer and I have owned this tool for a little over a year. The trigger has now gone bad on it for the second time. The first one lasted 9 months and the second one lasted six. Bosch will fix it again since it is still under waranty but I need one tomorrow so tonight I bought a Makita hoping it will last longer. The Bosch was my first impact driver and now I can't be without one for even a day. I have several cordless Bosch drills, saws, and planers that I have used them every day for several years and they all work perfectly so the trigger problem seems to be limited to just the impact driver.

Sweet little impactor Jul 19, 2007
This is my 4th Bosch 14.4 tool. Very well built, nice features. Could not beat it for the price I paid (130 with free shipping) which included 2 bluecore batteries and a charger. I wanted the extra charger and 2 more batteries helps keep all my tools available with charged batteries.
As for the tool itself, if you haven't used an impact driver before, you don't know what you are missing. Driving long screws into 2x material is a joy. My Bosch drill had plenty of power, but if you don't hold the drill down firmly, it is possible to strip the head of the screw with all the torque. The impact driver applies it in tiny jolts and the result is that the screws seem to sink into the work without much effort at all. Its also very good for removing screws out of decking for the same reason. It comes with a small tiltable led that does a nice job illuminating the area you are working. Battery life is OK, not one of Bosch's stronger points. It has plenty of torque, enough that it will loosen lug nuts on your car wheels. You can buy adapters that will let you attach sockets from 1/4 to 1/2 inch drives.

Great Addition! May 14, 2007
I have always had a cordless drill and used that as my driver. I don't know why I didn't get one of these earlier. I have used it on a deck, including the 6" lag bolts (pre-drilled holes of course), on cabinet installation, and putting shelving together. The batteries last a long time and it has great power for such a small and light weight tool.
