Hi big all thanks for the offer,but will it drill a 32mm hole in wood using a spade bit if you needed to do so cheers.

tbh i would not try that with a 18v drill, id have it chucked up in 24v sds or mains sds

The guy in the vid uses a 16mm spade bit with no problem,they say it has the power of a nicad 12volt batt.

I like the vid, looks quite good to me.
Not sure about drilling into brick though. I've never done that without hammer action, maybe the multi construction bits are better than masonary bits for this though.

liven up the thread

i think some off you are under the impression the drill is a small pistol shaped drill that you can hide in your hand its identical in size to the 14.4v brother

any way drilled a 35mm hole through 21mm timber with a new spade bit in less than 2 mins i personaly would prefer to use a 18 or 24v drill for this job especialy if it was through 2" joists

and the screws 1x 70mmx5mm and 66 8x2" silver wood screws on to 2" timber then i got bored 'took them all out again the battery was on flashing single bar
3 bars75%-100 charged
2 bars 50-75%
1 bar 25-50%
flashing bar less than 25%

even though i have the full kit [excluding tin snips ] i was very but plesantly surprized at how big it was [ooeerr misses]
just for comparason the 14.4 spec and the 10.8 spec

The Bosch multi construction bits will drill masonry, although it is easier with the hammer action switched on-

http://www.ultimatehandyman.org/video/t ... review.php

I might have to buy one of these 10.8v Bosch drills to test them out properly!

They certainly look good in the video.

On thing he said in the video was that the 10.8v Li-on had the same power as a 12v drill, which indicates that the batteries are more powerful. But when I tested out a dewalt 18v Li-on and a 18v ni-cad both batteries were almost identical.

I have a 12v Bosch drill, so I guess if I buy a 10.8v Bosch drill I could compare the two.

10% more isnt a lot perhaps they are reffering to the fact that you get volt drop with nicads you have only to drop 1.08v to =a 10.8 lol
so maybe the fact you dont get fade so keep the even power over the range makes it equivilent

or indeed if the gearing is 10% lower you will get the equivilent output torque

Compared to the aeg 12 volt drill driver orange it does look very good,the aeg has a very big motor casing compared to the bosch 10.8 volt,what do you think big all you know all about the specs.

-- Sun May 09, 2010 2:42 pm --

Are bosch changing to 12 volt,is that why they are selling them off.

cant find any specs for the aeg as in rpm torque ect
its from the ryobi stable [tti industrial ]as there pro range
it has a comprehensive kit but no add on tools at present
its a single speed machine
it has a 3 year warentee[on some sites]
has 1.5 ah batteries

the bosch has 2 speeds [0-400 0-1400]
has 1.3 ah batts

7 bits off kit [torch 'gop multitool'impact driver'tin snippers'1 speed driver '2 speed driver'angle drill] to collect

aeg is good value for money if they had all the tools that bosch have i would go for aeg but as they havent [for now at least] bosch is more flexable
