Bosch CLPK23-180

[66HertzClone]

A special flyer was in this morning's paper, Lowe's has this on special at a new lower price, $199. I checked Amazon for any reviews and there are none there, anybody here have one of these and willing to provide some feedback?

Here is a link to the unit, http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/Pages/BoschProductDetail.aspx?pid=CLPK23-180

i believe hd will have the 18v makita brand on for 199 over black friday. they may even be that much now, can't remember. if you go to hd, they should have them out to test also. at least my hd did.

sorry no help on the bosch brand, but i'm sure they're comparable.

I have the drill, and I absolutely love it. Mind you, I'm not a pro or anything, and the drill it replaced was a ten year old 12v Dewalt. Having said that, it has plenty of power, the batteries last quite a while and it only takes 30mins to recharge.
I'm actually thinking of picking up the impact driver off of ebay to go along with the drill.

Thanks, I just wanted to know what someone who has had their hands on one thinks.

i have the 14.4 bluecore bosch (not litheum). I've used fein, dewalt, milwaukee, hitachi, makita, b&d, ryobi...as far as I'm concerned, I would head straight to the bosch, every time.

Another good answer, thanks.

If it helps, I used mine to run a 1-1/4" holesaw through 1/4" plate several times with no issues at all.
