Hello Kat 🤣🤣 We haven't planned a drills set review. Thank you for mentioning it, we will see into it. We buy tools to use them in our projects around the house. We are short in projects these days as we are moving houses, but you will get to see more tools in action in the coming months and years...
Curious where you're based out of and if you have something similar to the Ryobi lineup available. It looks like these Bosch tools are 1.5 to 3 times more expensive than similar entry level, DIY, home use tools. States side, that drill runs $100 without the battery, charger, or case, and $200 with them. (The separate drill and impact with case, batteries, and charger is about $225) $125 gets you a drill, an impact, two batteries, a charger and a tool bag to store them from Ryobi, and outside of heavy, daily, jobsite use, they are going to last forever. (I've got 20 year old ryobi tools that work as good as new, and still use the same batteries that you can buy today, used in construction for years) A combination drill/impact is also way more hassle than having two separate tools, forcing you to swap bits over and over. Seems like if this one tool is all you need, you could probably save yourself about $150 and just buy a cheap drill that will do what you need just as well
Hi johngaltline9933, we are based in the UK. Fair points but here is our point of view. We bought this drill with the case you see in the video, a charger, and a 2Amps battery for £110 (~$140) a year ago. This drill is the most powerful in Bosch's green line (60Nm torque) and it is brushless. You can get the less powerful bosch green line (still does a great job for DIY use) for £81 again with a hard case, charger and a battery OR £55 for the bare unit in a carton box. For Ryobis on the other hand things are different. The cheapest combi drill costs £58 at the moment while a better set with two batteries and a charger costs £80 but not brushless, the motor is 50Nm, and the case is just a bag. As for the combination of a combi drill with an impact driver, a charger, and 2 batteries: Bosch is around £120 to £150 in carton box (depending where you buy) and Ryoby is around £190 in a bag. Both Ryoby and Bosch offer a 3 years warranty on all power tools. So all in all when it comes to drillls and drivers Bosch makes more financial sense and it is also our preference as we have been using the brand for many many years. Thank you for your comment, we will try to keep an open eye on Ryobis and see how they compare in future reviews.
Perhaps, but others would argue that the drill is too big if there was more body. It comes down on specific uses after all... We also have the old bosch PSB 1800 with a bigger body, but in our opinion, it is too bulky for our uses.
@@RealisticDIYers Aye, personal preference. My wife bought me the 18V - 40 which is a bit bigger. Im going to get this 18V- 60 though, see how i get on with it. Cant tell the wife though. She will say 'what's wrong with the one i bought you?' Don't want to upset her. You have to handle these situations carefully. 😂
@Tony-1971 Hehehehehe. Good luck! We have no experience with the 18V-40, but it should be quite good, too. Take a look at the most recent one AdvancedImpact 18V-80. More powerful (if you need the extra power), and they have easy chuck change. It was launched after we made this video, and although we haven't tested it, it looks quite good.
@@RealisticDIYers I've only used the 18V-40 with screws up to now so no idea what its like for drilling yet, but it does seem like a decent bit of kit. And thanks for the info. I will take a look at the 18V-80 before i buy the 18V-60. 💯👍🏻
Your Not tightening the drill properly! Turn it till you hear the last few clicks then turn it back opposite and you will feel a click as it locks the drill bit. it won’t open while drilling now, seen a guy on UA-cam testing 10 drills and 8 or 9 had the feature
Interestingly, no instructions mention this. It does click when you go back as you describe, but not sure if it adds something extra to the locking. The chuck of this drill doesn't open at all while drilling given that you tighten in enough.
I'm Kat 😂
Could you in depth review Bosch drill sets like the 70 piece? Also what do you do with all the drills after reviewing??
Thanks guys!

Gorgeous woman 😻 very energetic and positive and polite 😊
Looks like there isn't much of a body on the drill to hold onto when you're pushing into what ever it is you're drilling.

It is quite interesting though and we will look into it further. Thank you.
