Bosch Impactor 10.8V
Greetings All,
I was looking for a small drill/driver, to do the kind of stuff a full sized 18V is too big for. Among others, I was looking at the Bosch 10.8V Impactor. I already have several Bosch goodies and have confidence that they are a good bang for the buck. There's just something about the fit/finish and feel about their power tools. They have weight, without feeling heavy. So, I ordered the Impactor from Amazon and opened it up today. My main concern was whether the spindle had enough rpm's to drill small pilot holes, and enough grunt to drive screws. This thing is great!!! The variable speed motor has the speed to drill small holes, and enough oomph to drive any reasonable sized screw. Since I already have the 10.8V right angle driver, the batteries and charger are interchangeable. I just wish they would have offered the tool sans batts and charger. All in all, very satisfied with this one. Mark |

And in 3 or 4 years when the batteries poop out buy them back of 50 or 60. ;~) |
