Important Features of Bosch DDS181-01 18-Volt
This is a feature intensive product with a core eye on the feature and development of the motor based section of it. In recent years, almost all drill machine companies understood the importance of having motor-based drill machines (in terms of quality motors), and Bosch joined the same party too! Let’s have a look at some of the promising features.
Power and Versatility
Well, the four-poll motor at least ensures one thing. It ensures that you will never have a lack of power when you are using this drill machine. There are different power settings based on your tasks, and the whole back end is designed in a way so that you do not have to pay much attention to those small changes. The machine is versatile in the sense that it can feature different ranges of RPM and different ranges of torque-speed being within this one small drilling machine. Though the previous Bosch models were also good in terms of versatility but those were not as powerful as this one! As this model is a combination of great power and versatility, it gets more numbers on those skills.
Easy to Use
This is another feature that is often neglected in the world of drilling. Most people think that as you are drilling, there is no point in talking about products that are easy to use. You are a tough person, and you will be able to use anything which is dead wrong. This product is super easy to handle, and the grip area is also built in a certain way to make things easier. Those are definitely commendable.
Battery
The battery looks standard as it is a 17V model. The battery will not make you delighted in most cases, but it will also not bring trouble for you. It is a standard one as we said before and that is the best quality of this battery. It does not drain easily, and you will rarely have to worry about changing the batteries.
Pros
- Very easy to carry around
- Nice Blue Color design
- Powerful
- Easy to carry in hands
- Durable and long-lasting
Cons
- The light will not work until you start the drilling process
- Comes in only one color
- A bit higher priced than average
FAQ
Q. Can I run this machine with other model’s chargers?
Well yes, you can! Though the charger that comes with this Bosch cordless drill is a good one and we never heard of issues that the charger stops working. The charger is good and will serve you for a long time.
Q. Where was it made in?
Almost all the products of Bosch cordless drills are made in Mexico. Similarly, the Bosch DDS181-01 18-Volt is also made and assembled in Mexico.
Insider Tips
Again, there is nothing much to tip on about this Bosch DDS181-01 18-Volt as this is still a new model out there. There are certain regular tips that we would love to provide, though. You should always make sure that you clean the drill immediately once you are done doing an intensive drilling session. Drilling creates a lot of dust (obviously), and when those go inside the machine, the motor and the inside parts get affected. We do not want that to happen, do we?
