Bosch 3960K-CC 24 Volt 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver Kit includes Clic-change Quick-change Bit System

If you're having trouble finding a cordless drill that packs enough punch, give this 24-volt powerhouse from Bosch a try. With a maximum torque rating of 500 inch-pounds, it's among the toughest half-inch cordless drills currently available. That kind of torque necessitates the included removable side handle and is likely to make the user thankful for the drill's nice cushion grip. While it offers only 16 clutch settings--a small number compared to the 18 to 24 settings on competing drills--this heavy-duty tool is really intended as more drill than driver, and in most applications we can imagine, 16 settings is plenty. The keyless chuck has a grip tough enough to match the motor's high torque and holds the big bits you'll want to use with this drill. The batteries on Bosch's 24-volt tools are 2 amp hr ni-cads made for Bosch by Panasonic. While we really like the padded grips Bosch uses on its cordless tools, the 24-volt battery does add a little extra heft to this drill, and no matter how nice the grip, you will notice the weight if you carry this in your hand all day. This drill is ideal for contractors and seasoned professionals who need a truly burly cordless drill. Homeowners and folks who intend to do more screw-driving than drilling are likely to find the power of this tool to be a bit of overkill. --Brian Trinen
