Hey guys, I just shot an Unboxing video. I just received an early birthday present in the mail. The Bosch DDH181X-01 Brute Tough drill!!! Thanks Eric and Dan! This guy is a freakin’ beast! I’m going to be shooting another video and add it to this post comparing it to my other heavy duty beast, the Dewalt DCD985 drill I love. What’s so cool is the fact that this guy comes with the 4.0 ah batteries and the new BC630 rapid charger. Hope you guys like the video and thanks for watching!
Tools in Action Baby!!!!!!!
You look to have scored yourself a nice drill, Chris! I look forward to hearing/seeing how you like it, once you have had time to use it a bit.
Sweet that looks like a nice little drill!! It’s cool that Dan and Eric hooked you up!!.
That’s a nice drill man!!

Thank guys and thanks for watching! Yeah Jason, that was pretty cool!
Chrisk back with another great unboxing video!!!! That’s a sweet lookin drill bro I like how compact the charger looks and that nice shiny metal clutch ooooo la la!! Lol!! Hope u had a great 4th to bro and Happy early B Day man!!!
That’s a beast Of a drill m8 !!!!
Looks nice. I have the DCD995 and it looks like it has the same torque rating, and I can testify to the amount of power that is. My favorite feature because of this is that it has a sensor to detect arm twist and it disables the motor keeping you from getting FUBAR.
Good stuff.
I just got the same drill in the mail today thanks to Dan and Eric!! The weird thing is the video for the exact Bosch Drill posted on my birthday September 9th. That is a crazy coincidence!!
Congrats DR!! Dan and Eric really know how to take care of us they’re the best!!!
Great drills. Congrats.

wow grats DR
Might have to get the Bosch drywall gun in the near future now that I have Bosch batteries.
once you started with a new battery platform you “will” get new and more tools
So in checking out that charger, that thing is awesome. It’s powerfully fast with the 4.0s and the fan is like the Makita charger. Super powerful. This is doubly awesome because I’ve got the wireless chargers and batteries but they are 2.0 batteries. These guys will charge just as quickly. Really awesome drill.
Thanks Mike! Love doing the Unboxing videos. I’m hoping to post one of this and the Dewlat DCD985 today or tomorrow. Bosch is really kicking it with this brushed super heavy duty model. The chuck and ring are super strong.
So do they just send you guys random tools? If so that is really awesome! Did they come with the big charging cradle or just the wireless charger base?

This tool comes with the BC630 Kruton. It’s a 30minute rapid charger. The wireless system required the battery to be configured a little differently but you can charge wireless batteries on the regular chargers! Awesome innovation with these tools!
the wireless charging station is really cool. but i dont own one yet….its just luxury 😀
That is a beast of a drill im really torn between this drill and others. my aging dewalt is really showing its age and the batteries are next to no good now not holding a charge anymore.
Dan and Eric hooked you up man that’s a nice drill, great video Chris!!
Dan and Eric never mentioned anything in the videos that we had 2 more lucky winners you received a big o gift
Alright guys….professional opinion Bosch DDH181X 18v Drill Kit…
I shot a quick video of the Bosch in action and running next to the DCD985 hammer. This was a really good comp as the machines are both 18v (Dewalt is 20v max….ie….18v) and we’re both running 4.0ah batteries. The test subject was a 2×6 kiln dried and the mechanisms were a Lennon 2-1/4″ hole saw and a 13 y/o 1″ dull spade bit (Irwin…yikes!). Firstly, I’d like to apologize for the music….not type, just volume, and my volume….weird shooting while my Wife is upstairs. God! I must be self conscious! Also, I refer to the belt clip as a side handle….,just ignore it…..I’m camera shy 😉
Really, really impressed with the gun. A couple of drawbacks as you’ll see in the video but this is an awesome tool and if Bosch makes my very simple suggestion it’ll be even better. Someone posted on the merits of brushless the other day. Well neither of these drills are brushless and I’m quite happy with these guys.
Thanks Eric and Dan. I really appreciate being here. It’s been quite a few years now and it’s helped me relax and even get through some rough times and quite a few of the members I consider friends. And now my Bosch tools have a new friend! Long live Tools in Action.
Edit: Video to be re shot and posted!
I don’t know if it’s just my phone but I can’t hear anything bro 🙁
No, it’s me dude. I think I’m going to shoot it again. I did t think the Bosch PB360 was on too loud but I was speaking too low. I should get a mic
i dont even have sound at all
So no sound is coming through? It plays on youtube
I deleted the video. I’ll re shoot again 🙁
i tried with phone and computer….nada
Looks like I’m late to the party, all be waiting for the new video 🙂
Thanks Justin, I’ll try to get it done ASAP.
Hurry up!! Just kidding take your time
Hey guys! So here it is…..oh, and I threw in another drill for you anti Festool guys…..
Great job on the video Chris those are some nice drills even the Festool 🙂 They all went through that 2×6 like butter, who cares if its not brushless you got plenty of power on that Bosch. You got a great looking shop there and an even better looking shirt on. I didn’t even realize there’s no belt hook, what was Bosch thinking maybe they weren’t..lol
Thank you Justin. It really is an awesome gun so I would highly recommend that beast!
Great overview video bro all 3 of those drills are top notch quality and the chuck on the Bosch looks nice! I have that Dewalt drill and is a beast bro very well made and powerful for a brushed drill man I would love to give the Festool and Bosch a try. Thanks for posting video bro!!
Thanks Mike! If you get the chance, give the Bosch a whirl. It’ll knock your sox off. I still love my Dewalt but that Bosch is awesome.
Thanks for the video ChrisK. Great review. Next time you do a video please don’t show the Kapex! My bank account is getting dangerously close to being $1500 less everytime I see a video on one.

Well now kruton…..I normally keep those tools in the shadows from the detractors but……here in I did a while ago about DC…..
I’m going to be doing several projects today and tomorrow, if I can I’ll try to post pics of the new fastcap fence system on the MFT/3 Kapex which is different from this video I took this early winter.
I can’t believe how much of the dust that thing collects. Way to go man, now I want the dust collection system to go with the saw. I think you are a bad influence!ChrisK1970 wrote:

I might have to sell a kidney to buy all the tools you guys post
Yeah I know, might be worth it though. Like an idiot I watched a video for the Festool Domino…bad idea on my part. I really want one now.Justin Hernandez wrote:

Domino. Get it.
As far as a kidney? The going rate now is a kidney and one heart valve.
You realize you are no help at all right?! Do you have one?ChrisK1970 wrote:

So does anybody want to make me an offer for my kidney?
I’ve got the DF500 Domino set 😀
NER has one too. I’m not sure but I think Regopit has one. My Wife bought me it for a wedding gift last October when we got married. Absolutely unbelievable, stupendous piece of engineering guys. Also really expensive but work every penny if you are into woodworking or even custom cabinetry.
I have two kidneys, but I have zero Kapex saws so I am not interested!Justin Hernandez wrote:
