This was my second Bosch. The first, I bought at Lowes on sale for $99. It was an 18 volt with Li Ion 1.3Ah batteries. I used it once and returned it. Liked the feel, it was just too wimpy. Then I saw this one on Amazon. I wanted a hammer drill anyway, so I ordered it. The seller said it was used, but it showed up in the case, with cardboard cover, wrapped in plastic, all the accessories, and the cord was tied. It must have been some kind of demo, because it sure hadn't ever been used. I do maintenance on a farm, so I need tough tools that can drive large screws, lags, & bolts. This one does it all with ease. I have had it less than a month, but I have already had many opportunites to run it through it's paces. I have "drop tested" it a couple of times from about 6-7 feet, and it took no damage. This drill is made of top quality materials, and should take whatever beating you throw at it. I've even had a chance to use the hammer feature already. It went through concrete like I was drilling into wood. This drill will not dissapoint you. It is comfortable to use, unbelievably light(especially for a hammer drill), the batteries last a long time, and it will drive the largest of screws. In fact, I was driving a lag screw on the high torque setting, and it bottomed out and almost twisted my wrist off. Which leads me to it's only disadvantage. With the power this thing has, it could definitely benefit from a side handle. It's a minor flaw that I can definitely live with. Other than that, I have never owned a more perfect cordless drill. When my old Hitachi Li Ion dies, I will definitely be replacing it with another Bosch.6 month update: I still love this drill. I haven't found anything it doesn't do well. The batteries last a long time between charges. It's very light. It has the power to drive anything. Also, I have found in using it that it is very comfortable in the hand, and easy to control in awkward positions. It's definitely a winner. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent drill! *by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2012* I have owned some older Makita and DeWalt cordless drills and use two different 18v DeWalt drills at work every day (metal fabrication/hot rod shop). This makes my employers drills look like junk. I really enjoy using this tool after using DeWalts all week long. It's so powerful and light and even the chuck works more easily and holds better than what I'm used to. Having the light on the bottom of the handle makes it actually shine on your work instead of casting shadows like motor-mounted lights. The batteries are easy to change out. The balance is excellent which really helps for using the drill in awkward positions. The only thing I wish it had was a built in hex bit holder, otherwise it's perfect for general use and at under $200 it's a great value. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome hammer drill *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2013* What a package! Light weight. Full half inch chuck. Tremendous torque. It is the perfect drill if you only want one. The reason I give it only four stars is it has begun making a loud squealing noise when the chuck closes after being all the way retracted. I don't understand the noise, don't like it, and fear that it is causing damage. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4780314-bosch-hds181-02-18v-compact-tough-hammer-drill-driver](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4780314-bosch-hds181-02-18v-compact-tough-hammer-drill-driver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
