Bosch 37618-01 Review
Bosch 37618-01 Review by Jeremy Funk
I have owned Bosch tools for years. I loved the first Bosch 18V hammer drill I owned and put it through every job imaginable. As it got older the batteries wore out and I replaced them with Bluecore batteries from Lowe's. While building a new house I finally blew the drill's motor up and went to buy a replacement.
The Bosch 37618-01 Drill now comes with Lithium-Ion batteries. Bosch touts these batteries as "lasting 2x as long!" I can attest that the batteries do, in fact, last a long time and retain their power up to the very end. I drilled countless holes through 2x10s and the drill kept up very well.
The construction looks and feels cheaper than my previous Bosch equipment. This is especially noticeable when you goose the trigger. As the motor stops, it sounds like the gears are binding a bit. Hopefully this is not indicative of any future problems. The plastic housing also seems flimsy at first glance. I dropped it from a six foot ladder and it was fine.
The drill is quite torquey and very capable of light to medium duty. I miss my hammer drill for masonry. Other than that, I give it four stars.
Bosch 37618-01 Review by S. Stoddard "heavy drill user" (utah)
alright this is actually the first review i've ever written so sorry if it is confusing. But I've been a dewalt man for years and we have seven dewalt cordless drills. Recently I decided to try the new bosch litheon ion drills since they claimed to be the best made. Well this drill did not disapoint! First off this thing is made in switzerland and when you look at it you can tell by the fit and finish. In other words this is very well built and will last for many years. The next thing that I noticed is how smooth this thing is and how well the variable speed trigger works. It is very easy to control how fast your screw goes in where as my dewalts are a lot more touchy. Don't get me wrong I love dewalt and still do but you can't beat the quality and smoothness of this bosch drill. When you pull the trigger it is so quiet that it makes you think that it is not as powerful as the dewalt but in my comparison tests it puts in a screw just as fast! I also like how the light is on the bottom of the drill, that way it proves to be more useful than if it is right below the chuck cause when it is right below the chuck it seems like alot of shadows are cast. Also the handle and grip is more comfortable than my dewalts. Anyways to sum it up this drill is awesome and I would give it a nod over the dewalt, the only thing I would say dewalt would be better at right now is there 18 volt impact driver that you can also buy a chuck for which would turn it into a drill as well. There is nothing out there that will beat dewalts 18volt litheon ion impact driver but I didn't really care to spend the extra 100 dollars that would take to buy it as well as the additional chuck.
Bosch 37618-01 Review by tg "tg" (Missouri, USA)
I have purchased several of these drills and had to return about 2/3s of them for excessive chuck runout. Basically, this means the drill bit wobbles around an excessive amount. I previously owned a 1995 era Milwaukee that was Made in Germany and even after 15 years and countless drops, it was dead-on.
These drills are labeled as Made in Switzerland which is why I bought them (trying to steer clear of the sea of Made in China tools). Sadly, Bosch does not live up to its name or country of origin with the drill chucks. This has been a problem for years with Bosch drills it seems (Google for PS30 or PS31 -- same problems).
Otherwise, it's an excellent tool. Batteries last a long time and has lots of power. 3" deck screws into sopping wet lumber is no problem. Just check for runout and be ready to return several of them until you get one that does not have the runout problem).
** If you work for Bosch ** -- PLEASE PLEASE send this note to someone who can do something about this problem. These are great tools but hardly lives up to the Bosch name (or German engineering) solely because of persistent check runout problems.
