Bosch 1132VSR 3.8-Amp 3/8-Inch Right Angle Drill

I've wanted one of these drills for over a year, but couldn't bring myself to spend the money. But, I broke down during the Bosch tool sale last summer and got one. Glad I did too, because there's no limit to what it will do. I've used it to install plumbing and wiring and duct work in places where no other drill or driver will fit. I drilled one inch holes for water line with a spade bit through a double plate between floors in no time. My 8 amp Porter-Cable right angle drill would never go into the places this little Bosch drill does. It's great for installing and removing gutter hangers, too. I love the dial speed control, especially for running screws. Don't overload this tool. With 3.8 amps, it has medium power, but the size and shape make up for that. It's true beauty is it's close quarters capabilities. This tool is a must have for remodelers and handy persons.

I have been looking at small right angle drills for along time and couldn't decide on which one to buy. I decided on the Bosch because I have other Bosch tools and they have served me well. I am glad I went with this drill it has great power for driveing 3" screws in areas that a regular screwgun or cordless drill can't get into. I used it to drill holes in stud walls for electical and copper pipe useing 1" and 1 1/4" spade bits with plenty of power. This drill isn't meant to be a hole hawg for heavy duty plumbing or electircal jobs, but for light to medium duty jobs it's a great drill for areas that can't be reached with a regular drill.

Bought bosch to replace dewalt dw-160 that I got on clearance when hechinger went out. Oddly enough bosch was bought when woodworker's world went out of business. The Dewalt was horrible, it had single speed(1200rpm) and no reverse!!!!! I love that the bosch has reverse and a variable speed dial. The speed dial makes it easier to drive screws. I am not to fond of the paddle switch, but I give it 5 stars anyway because I like the slower speed(1100rpm) and speed dial.
