Have you received it yet and did it come with an L boxx or just an L boxx insert? Thanks

I waited to post until I actually had it. It does come with an L-Boxx and two inserts that fill the interior. Its a very nice compact tool.

Whats your take on it? Some of the reviews on Amazon said it was underpowered. Maybe they were using it on a job that was too taxing.....wrong tool for the job perhaps.

I haven't used it extensively yet, but I immediately considered the reports that it is "underpowered." I think this is entirely untrue. You already know it is a 12V tool, not 18V or 120V. For the intended purpose - portable cuttoff in tight spaces - it works ideally. I haven't had it stall on me or even close in my limited use. I'm sure the key, as always, is to let the tool do the work and not push it. It's a great tool and I'm glad I bought it.

Did you get it from the .de site? It tells me that this item does not ship to the US. Hate to have to buy the bare tool for more money and then have to get batteries and charger etc.

Do you guys like the Bosch drive and drill sets? Amazon has the 41 piece set for $9. I have the 34 piece set (costs $12). I like the bits and the box is nice too.

This is my main drill/bit set for the last few months along with a small DeWalt set. I am kinda agnostic about brands of my bits.

I think that is a much better assortment of drill bits for $10 than a lot of other offerings. While they won't be top of the line in any area, they are Bosch, and I rarely if ever have any issue with their products.

Yes I did purchase from the .de site. It does indeed claim to not ship to the US, but if you add to your cart you will see that it allows you to check out and will charge you shipping

I'm not sure why, but sometimes items on the .de site claim to not ship to the US but they actually will. You just have to check each one.

Came across a great deal at Fry's that ends today. NOT a refurb! You get an 18V drill driver, two slim batteries, and a charger for $55 shipped:

This would be a great gift for someone starting a basic tool kit.
