AdvancedDrill 18 (Without Battery & Charger)

Solid reliable

Bought this to replace the old Bosch drill / screwdriver that I wrecked. Because it uses the same battery system as my sander, hammer drill, saw, hedge trimmer etc, I didn't have to get a more expensive set with new batteries.The magnetic screwdriver bit holder and magnetic screw holder cap are a brilliant improvement, meaning I don't need to hold the screw in place, and the removable drill chuck makes the drill / screwdriver / drill / screwdriver transitions so much easier if you're drilling pilot holes for each screw.Love it

My two year old Bosch PSB 1800 died recently with a broken gearbox. Admittedly it had taken some punishment. The cost of a new gearbox for the PSB 1800 was over £50 so I was delighted to see the Advanced Drill body only for sale at only £13 more than a new box. I chose the non impact version of the Advanced Drill as I already have a couple of other larger hammer and impact drills.I’m very pleased with the advanced drill. Although slightly heavier and chunkier than the PSB 1800 it handles well. The removable Chuck is great and the screw driver holder even better. It’s quick to change from drilling to screwing just by changing the chucks. The electric forward/reverse switch is very convenient.It takes the same batteries as the old PSB 1800. Some users have observed that it doesn't fit inside the PSB 1800 box but by removing some bits of plastic from the box with my multi tool I manage the get the drill to fit in the box.I highly recommend this drill
