Just becaus I'm of the fairer sex does not mean that I cannot do the occasional bit of DIY and that is why I'm the proud owner of a Bosch PSR cordless drill. One of the reasons I like this drill is that it is not too heavy and if needed I can use it with ust the one hand however for really steady drilling it is best to use two. In all it weighs 1.75kg so it has a nice balance to it, light enough to operate but enough weight to allow some force to be applied. It has a rather natty speed control mechanism whichj makes use of a digital display and there are 25 power settings which is great as it means it can cope with a range of drilling and screw ...  Read the complete review

I picked up one of these about six months ago from B&Q for around £60. There must have been some offer on at the time as I got this exact model, but with two batteries. The drill is pretty good. It is light in weight, but quite powerful. Using it to drill into wood is fine. To put screws in, again very good. I managed to put up a small shed, which involved using for screws only. The battery lasted for almost the complete job, so I was glad I had the spare on charge. Do not buy this drill if you are looking to do a lot of DIY work. This is especially true if you need to drill into walls and more importantly brickwork. It can handle plasterboard fine, ...  Read the complete review

I may be getting on in years but I still like to take my power tool in hand and give something a good drilling, my tool was like me and getting on a bit so I have replaced it with a newer and even more powerful tool recently and I just couldn't wait to get to work with it. The tool in question is my new cordless drill, a Bosch PSR 14.4 VE-2 no less, I always choose Bosch for this type of thing as they have never disappointed in the past and this one is no different. It has one thing that lets it down slightly and that is the charge time which takes about 90 minutes to get to full charge and although the manual reckons the battery will last 3 hours ...  Read the complete review

The Bosch Drill / screwdriver is a pice of kit that should be in every home. My wife has mastered the use of this tool and not had any difficulties at all. It is simple in its changing of drill and or screw head with the chuckless drill head. You simply hold onto the end and press the btton and it is open or shut dependent on what you need. There is also a little slot for putting a phillips/ flathead interchangable piece on the drill itself when not being used. However I found this would fall off now and again and it was easier to keep it with all the other drill bits. When I bought mine it came in a carry case with the charger and two batteries. This is an ...  Read the complete review

To be a fair review, I have to tell you about the one little problem I have with this drill, but before that, the good points. <<Charging>> - super quick and batteries seem to hold a charge for a long time in between use, which is great for the occasional DIY'er like me. <<POWERRRRR>> - for a 14 volt model, it's surprisingly torquey - handles the brick in my Victorian house ok and has even chewed through some concrete without complaint. <<Accessories>> - Not to bad, could have done with a couple of drill bits, but otherwise OK. <<In Use>>> - This is my only little moan - ...  Read the complete review
