This is a lovely piece of kit, just perfect for the house or home. It comes with 2 Batteries which is great news when it comes to needing to use it quickly as it so often happens that it's more common to have at least one of the Batteries on full charge. Very comfortable to hold and use, this is a well worked out ergonomic hand held Drill/Driver kit. It's got plenty of power for most household uses and it can be stored very safely in it's durable case. Well done Bosch.

EDIT: I've revised this to 4 stars. I think I was a bit too harsh. Yes, it's still no good for brick, concrete or even hard wood. Since my original review below, I've been using it to hang an internal door, fit door handles and other carpentry tasks and it has done an admiral job for those tasks. Just get a rotary hammer as well if you need to drill brick and concrete.When I first received this combi drill, I loved it! Problem was, I had never truly tested it.It's pretty good for assembling flat pack furniture. (Note that you would probably need to buy more accessories such as hex bits.) The plastic carry case is also surprisingly useful.I also managed to use it to hang a towel rail in the bathroom. (Though this kit doesn't come with drill bits - I had to buy those too.) This drill made nice neat holes in the grout.The battery seemed endless for those kinds of tasks. You could assemble a whole houseful of flat pack furniture on one battery. I questioned whether I really needed two batteries.Fast forward 3 years and now I have some real DIY tasks... and this drill didn't fair so well.First, I tried to drill some 16mm holes in wood to fit a mortice bolt. Drilling into a solid oak door with a flat wood bit got me nowhere. A couple of turns into the door, and it was clear there wasn't enough torque. I had to resort to a 25 year old corded Bosch drill which struggled but eventually powered through. This drill did manage to drill a 16mm hole in the pine door frame. So I guess you can drill 16mm holes as long as it is softwood.Then I tried to top fix some blinds. Unfortunately, my windows have concrete lintels. There's no chance this drill can get through that. (To be fair, even the old corded Bosch didn't make progress there.)So, what it couldn't do:- 16mm hole in oak- any hole (not even 3mm) in concreteWhat is good about it:- nice carry case- great as a screwdriver (as long as there is enough space)- can drill 16mm holes in softwood- can drill into walls, as long as it's not concreteSo on hindsight, I wonder whether I would have been better off just getting a 12V drill driver and a separate SDS rotary hammer. A 12V drill driver should be more than sufficient for flatpack furniture and they are more compact. The SDS rotary hammer would be used for drilling into brick and concrete.

Great drillEasy to charge and easy to change to different settings . Have used it several times now and had no problemsGreat value for money
