So I have a newer, smaller Bosch driver for light tasks but I needed to replace my 11 year old Bosch 24V drill that I really loved but the batteries finally died and I didn't want to replace them. Because I don't have a corded drill, this replacement will be my primary drill for tasks that require use and abuse. Living with it for a week, it's a beast (like my 11 year old one). More power than you will ever need. I paid $220 for the kit (CLPK22-181) from Amazon. Menards wanted $329 for this same kit.
I have a small driver so this is my first experience with an 18V driver. I've used this a fair amount and this driver is wonderful. So much power but the trigger gives you so much control. There is an operator problem of driving screws too fast. It's a nice problem to have. This driver is going to see a good amount of use.
Homeowner use so keep this in mind. I'm handy and use my tools but I don't use them 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. Solid build and kind of heavy.
***Update, 1.5 years later and still loving this Bosch product. Plenty of power, hammer drill works wonderful too.
