Couple that with Bosch's insistence on providing the smallest batteries out there with these kits (- does anyone else still sell 1.5Ah batteries?) and that the Bosch green stuff is generally expensive in comparison to other ecosystems, and there's a lot of reasons to pass on this and go with another brand.
I have quite a few Bosch Power 4 All tools but switched to Einhell/ Ozito some time ago for anything new and I've a few new Fatmax cordless toys picked up from great deals within the last 6 months that I'm looking forward to trying out. As the Bosch stuff dies on me it won't be being replaced by more Bosch unless it's Pro.
Need something to put my electric blind pully thing up but the frame is plastic.
No doubt I'll split the frame
This drill would easily do the job. If you already have a drill at home then it'll be cheaper grabbing a drill bit as this doesn't come with any. (edited)
I have this drill and it would be able to make 8mm holes for curtain poles but will struggle to make holes for the TV bracket. I used an SDS drill to drill the holes for my TV bracket and this drill struggled to screw in the bolts.
Drill bits are also important when using this drill. The bosch professional drill bits work really well with this and most cheap drill bit sets won't get you anywhere. My advice would be to grab a drill set (combi drill + impact driver) as well as a decent drill bit set for all your needs around the house.
Use decent drill bits and they go through most stuff without fuss
One of the main problems I found with the Bosch green ecosystem of batteries is their tools are expensive, sometimes more than the Dewalt range, or on par with their professional blue range. It doesn't make sense for lower quality products aimed at DIYers.
I would go for the Dewalt if you have the budget. Their ecosystem is really good and you'll find plenty of deals in their range
Yes the Bosch torque might be lower than a DeWalt but always remember your use case and what else you're likely to use in the shared tool range for the same batteries/charger.
My Advanced Impact has served me well, comfortably getting through wood, brick etc (quality drill bit is equally as important as others have already pointed out). I use my 2.5 mah batteries in other Bosch hedge trimmers in the range and whilst I don't acres of Bush, I've never been starved of battery.
Granted the 1.5 mah batteries that seem to be commonly bundled are on the feeble side and why I steered clear of those. Also, mine was a Hungary model and another reason I went for it. Brushless motor was also a major consideration.
Unless you're Tommy Walsh in his heyday do you really need a DeWalt, unless you're drilling more holes than a woodpecker (edited)
