That looks rather nice. My collection of Ni-Cad drills (also Bosch) are getting tired - only 1 of my 3 12V batteries is any good now, though the 14.4V ones are still doing OK. Last time, I bought a new 12V drill to get 3 batteries for free (a crazy deal!), but now, I think it's time to move on. Shame, as there's nothing wrong with the drills.
A while back, there was a discussion about DeWalt (IIRC?) drills that were on offer from Screwfix. Did anyone bite?
The 13mm chuck appeals. I wonder how this will be for smaller stuff. I don't yet have a pillar drill at home, but I'm able to do quite decent metalwork with a hand drill. I'm guessing this is quite a big unit compared to the older ones, but the batteries are obviously a fair bit lighter than Ni-Cad. Looking forward to the full report
