OK so a while ago my last good 18v battery for my ten year old Black & Decker cordless drill started to fade, the drill is ten, the battery was only two and the old ni-cad type. So I started checking for replacements wanted to buy two...geez..was gonna be over $80 bucks. Last few years I have been buying Bosch stuff and have been really happy with them, got the router, ros sander, job site stereo...so I figured let check out thier drills, found on Amazon the DDS182-02 came with two lit-ion bats charger and soft case, bit holder, belt holder all for $102 bucks. Not to mention my old B&D was 3/8 chuck, this one is 1/2 inch, and the Bosch is brushless motor. So for 20 bucks more now I can get new tech, better batteries, I older it right away. Got it the other day and I gotta say I had no idea what I was missing, as usual Bosch put out a great tool, love this thing, it has four times the power of my old B&D, at half the size and weight, way more clutch adjustments and the newer longer lasting batteries, can even charge them on my job site radio or allow my job site radio to go cordless (had the radio for couple years now, no batteries...lol) If you need a new drill this is the one, cordless drill is probably my most used tool, hate to retire my old friend B&D, especially since it still works great after all these years, but glad I did...this Bosch is Boss...lol
note...keep an eye on Amazon the price keeps fluctuating up to $105 now from seller Tools Corner (same folks I got it from), I have gotten stuff them before, never had a bad experience...Lowes wanted $199...which why I don't buy tools from them.
