Since posting our Dewalt cordless drill comparison guide, we’ve received requests for a comprehensive comparison of many brands’ cordless drill/drivers. Since this will take quite a bit of time to pull together, we will be focusing on one brand at a time. Here we focus on Bosch’s new line of cordless drills and drivers.
We hope you’ll find this comparison guide helpful for choosing the models best suited for your needs, and to make it easier to compare these to other brands’ tools. If you have any suggestions on how to make this even more useful, please let us know!
