Product Description
Amazon.com Review
If you're having trouble finding a cordless drill that packs enough punch, give this 24-volt powerhouse from Bosch a try. With a maximum torque rating of 500 inch-pounds, it's among the toughest half-inch cordless drills currently available. That kind of torque necessitates the included removable side handle and is likely to make the user thankful for the drill's nice cushion grip. While it offers only 16 clutch settings--a small number compared to the 18 to 24 settings on competing drills--this heavy-duty tool is really intended as more drill than driver, and in most applications we can imagine, 16 settings is plenty. The keyless chuck has a grip tough enough to match the motor's high torque and holds the big bits you'll want to use with this drill. The batteries on Bosch's 24-volt tools are 2 amp hr ni-cads made for Bosch by Panasonic. While we really like the padded grips Bosch uses on its cordless tools, the 24-volt battery does add a little extra heft to this drill, and no matter how nice the grip, you will notice the weight if you carry this in your hand all day. This drill is ideal for contractors and seasoned professionals who need a truly burly cordless drill. Homeowners and folks who intend to do more screw-driving than drilling are likely to find the power of this tool to be a bit of overkill. --Brian Trinen

BOSCH 24V,
By WARNER (NEW YORK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bosch 3960K-CC 24 Volt 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver Kit includes Clic-change Quick-change Bit System (Tools & Home Improvement)
I CURRENTLY OWN TWO 24V DRILLS, PLUS THE COMBO KIT.INDEED THEY LIVE UP TO THEIR NAME IN THE POWER DEPT. TWO COMPLAINTS I HAVE REGARDING THE DRILL. FIRST,THE BATTERY IS MUCH TO NARROW AT THE BASE,CAUSING THE TOOL TO EASILY TOPPLE OVER.SECOND,THE ATTACHED SCREWDRIVER BIT IS IN A VERY AWKWARD PLACE, IT CONSTANTLY FALLS OUT AND GETS LOST. IRONICALLY, THE CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW IS SMOOTH AND ACCURATE, ONE OF MY FAVORITE TOOLS.

At first I resisted buying a 24v drill. I thought it was overkill. I was wrong . So I bought one last December. The longer I have these drills , the more I like them.(I recently bought another) Torque ? Runtime ? This bad boy delivers in spades . But it's not a brute either. It runs so smoothly and quietly. Very different from the Porter Cable 19.2s I had for awhile. It is very well balanced and comfortable to use. Absolutely the best 24v drill on the market. It was recently top rated in consumer reports.Which may mean absolutely NOTHING . But it's reassuring to some , myself included. I can't beleive how huge , awkward and heavy the 24s from Dewalt and craftsman are. They offer no advantage over the Bosch except they will build more muscle mass if you lift them repeatedly. The new Makita's look promising but they are over priced at this point and they offer less torque and lower 1.7 AH ratings on the batteries . The Bosch is a tool you could actually use all day. Yes ,it's much heavier than the 14.4s and a tad more than the 18s . But in the trade off you get tons of power. It does more work faster for longer periods of time before it needs a fresh battery. It's very clear that Bosch did all their Homework on these tools before they brought them to market.I hope they expand the 24v line-up .

3960K-CC Excellent choice,
By Jason Scott (Heart of Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bosch 3960K-CC 24 Volt 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver Kit includes Clic-change Quick-change Bit System (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have just recently purchased the 3960K 24-Volt 1/2" Drill/Driver Kit. This was my first high performance cordless purchase. It didn't take long for the drill to show it's true power. My father-in-law bought the Panasonic EYC132 15.6 Volt Cordless Performance Package Metal Combo Kit. We used both drills side-by-side to put up Hardie Panel siding on my house. My father-in-law had to charge his batteries twice during the job, while the original battery that I used is still in my drill. The power did not decrease one bit. I'm going to hold off on charging it to see just how much longer it can hold out. We'll be finishing the siding this coming weekend. The only problem that I had was that the adjustable clutch moved sometimes, while I was drilling. I couldn't tell if this was caused by my hand moving it, as I supported the drill or if this was a problem with the clutch itself. Regardless, I feel that the drill was an excellent investment. I have recently purchased the Bosch 24V Saw over the internet and can't wait to see how it performs. All of the ratings show that it's the best by far. Hopefully my expectations will be met.
