Bosch just made my day. I am a huge fan of compact drills. Yes I like lots of power, but the fact is I don’t need large amounts of power most of the time, so why deal with the extra weight? I have been using the Dewalt compact for a while and love it. However that is the only Dewalt cordless tool I really have. So in reality it has been more of a pain to have extra batteries around. On the other hand I do own multiple Bosch tools. Before I forget, yes this is brushless.
I have been using Bosch ever since I first got into construction in 1992 right when Chicago had their major flood. I have always owned a Bulldog. All I can say is I really think I heard concrete cry once when I brought out a Bulldog.
