I have this model and I love it.....Just to let you know there is no need to keep remove then re-attaching the heads when you need to change the position of the drives, just hold the driver and pull the head forward, the heads are spring loaded and just need to be pulled and turned, even quicker now, (sorry if you were aware) but it looks like you didn't.
Very good video, i have this tool in the brushless version, and I can do 80 % of my work with this little tool. The excentric attachment is my favorite, and most used.
I switched to the brushless not even a week after putting this video up. These tools do almost everything I need from a drill. Of course I keep a larger drill around for those larger jobs but very seldom use it.
I have had this drill (not the brushless version) for a few years. Not so powerful but more then enough for cabinet work or similar. Very practical. If it is really cramped you can put bits directly into the drill head without attachments. It is a standard 1/4" size. But no magnet or similar that holds the bit.
Bosch 12v is the most underrated. Bosch is made for precision, that’s all I use when I am working on things that cannot get damaged for more precise work. Plus the size and weight of the Bosch is like non other.
I just ordered the 12v brushless FlexiClick myself. I was planning on getting one of their more powerful 18v combi drills, but the compact size and the utility of the FlexiClick made me reconsider for now. I do still plan on getting a 18v for more demanding drilling, but I think the 12v will do the majority of what I need
Love this drill and great review video. I think you were slightly confused about a few of the functions, and I've seen the corrections in the comments. My opinion as a viewer, who watches tons of diy and tool videos, is to go back to this video, edit and add in some short corrections or voice overs and then repost as a newer reflection. This drill is still a hot seller, so people are gonna want to watch the most updated and accurate review as possible.
We did a comparison video between the Bosch, DeWALT and Milwaukee 12v drills and in that video I had a more informed view of the Bosch. The three tools were extensively used at a job to see all their functions and flaws. I do appreciate the feedback though.
I have the brushless model of this tool and I found this out accidentally since I didn’t read the manual, While the offset and right angle head is LOCKED on, you can pull out the attachment and adjust it, (it’s spring urged), you don’t have to unlock it.
@@campbellbuilt The “EC” brushless model is a beast, it’s the same power as the Milwaukee version in a much smaller form factor. It’s my go-to tool unless I need 18V power, it handles 80% of what I need without the noise of an impact, and it just disappears in my pouch, you will love the brushless model, and not having to remove the attachments to adjust the angle is genius, make a video if you can, take care
Check out the bosch Daredevil Standard Spade Bits they are absolutely the badgners nadgers, most UK trademen use them for joists etc. I'm sure you have some, makes this kind of drilling almost a joy to do!
Sorry, aware it’s an old video.. but I have the same tool, and can confidently tell you, you’re not squeezing every bit of the tool’s power on a 2 or 3ah battery.. you need the 12v, 6ah; and you’ll see the difference in performance.. it’s a battery with a flat base that looks similar to the the one on your dewalt equivalent..
Appreciate the comment first, I owned several 6amps for the Bosch 12v before I purchased that drill. Mainly to use in the 12v planer. Its almost mandatory in the planer to have the large battery but I didn’t like the additional size that it added to the overall drill. I’ve since switched to the brushless version but absolutely love this tool.
Most of these tools are not built for speed but to do work and the Bosch is actually designed for its size/weight and precision ... I have a slew of Bosch 12V (drill, driver, impact, oscillating, grinder/cutter), a Makita 18V set and a Metabo HPT set.... all great !!! I also have the Dewalt angle adapter and it works fairly well most of the times but not quite like the Bosch 12V with angle adapter
DeWalt looks to be 1.9lb without battery. 2ah battery is about 0.6lb for an overall weight of 2.4lb Bosch is 1.2lb without battery and the 2ah battery weighs 0.3lb for an overall weight of 1.5lb. The DeWalt is 1.6x the weight for just 10-20% more power that you probably won’t use because you’d rather grab your much more powerful 18v for those jobs anyway. Even the Bosch 6ah at 0.8lb would still be a half pound lighter overall.
