Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Initial impressions. Will update later as required. I have owned a Bosch 18 volt drill/driver for a few years. It has been awesome. I also have a Bosch 18 volt, handheld vacuum, and a reciprocating saw. Figured I needed some more batteries. A fat pack would have been nice, but this was too good to pass up. Two more slim packs, another drill/driver and charger, essentially; for free. I had asked the question of the people; "have they improved the chuck?" The chuck is not great on the older one. The response was, paraphrasing: "seems fine to me". It would appear to me as well, that the chuck is MUCH improved. This is a great drill. Not sure why everyone doesn't do this, but having the light down on the base works great! No shadows as others have pointed out. Seriously, others... a light on the body behind the chuck is useless. A few observations though. This is even more compact than the older version. I don't have the specs on the old one, but if will be interesting to see if as powerful (the old one is a beast, given the size). The motor is much smaller. Second, the two batteries are 1.5 amp, with no fuel gauge. They have no label that my old eyes can read, maybe 611's? My old one also has 1.5 amp BAT610Gs, with fuel gauge. I think the more expensive, newer versions come with 2.0 amp batteries. Still a good deal. But know what you're getting. Pic is of the old (left) next to the new.
