The Bosch DDS182 18-Volt Brushless 1/2-Inch Compact Tough Drill/Driver is equipped with innovative features that enable it to perform the broadest range of heavy-duty applications with unmatched performance and durability. With an innovative brushless motor and improved electronics, this tool lasts twice as long as previous generations of the same product type. A maintenance-free motor is protected from overload by an Electronic Motor Protection system that is individually customized for each user, extending the life of the drill/driver even further. The DDS182 is more durable and powerful than ever before, outperforming competitors in heavy-duty applications while still providing unrivaled control as the most compact tool in its class, according to the manufacturer. As a response to user requests for increased power, the DDS182 provides optimized torque for screw driving applications while also delivering increased speed (up to 1,700 RPMs) for drilling operations. This tool also includes a variable speed trigger for reliable speed regulation, as well as 18+1 clutch settings for increased versatility and adaptability. In most cases, increased power necessitates an increase in tool size, but the DDS182’s head length is the most compact in its class at 7 inches. Additionally, the DDS182 is equipped with a 1/2-Inch auto lock chuck, which allows for convenient clamping of drill bits and other accessories. The DDS182 is equipped with a magnetic four-tip bit holder as well as a belt clip, which allows for convenient tool storage when not in use, in order to maximize jobsite efficiency. The DDS182 is constructed to withstand the rigors of a construction site, thanks to its Dura shield housing and built-in LED light that illuminates any working area. It includes the following items: (1) 18-Volt Brushless 1/2-Inch Compact Tough Drill/Driver, (1) 4X Bit Tip Holder, (1) 4 Piece Bit Tip Set, (1) Magnetic Bit Tip Holder, (1) Belt Clip, and (1) Exact-Fit Tool Insert Tray, which is a component of a stackable storage system designed to improve tool organization and transportation on the job site. The tool itself, as well as the batteries and L-BOXX storage case for it, are sold separately.
A significant amount of power in a small drill/driver. With a spade bit, I used this to drill one-inch holes in a tree stump, and it glided through the hard oak wood like butter. The “drill” setting ensures that the machine runs smoothly. When working with high torque, a two-handed grip is required, or you may find yourself in the next county. Excellent addition to my 18-volt Bosch product line.
