I already have an old generation Bosh drill with NiMH battery. This drill is worthy succession. The electronic torque control is impressive compared to previous versions purely mechanical. The torque reduction is softer and this will not have more of jerks I ride a garden shed with a personal design without any problems. It is also good in drilling (tested on 10 diameter in wood) that screw (one deck screws bucket). The grip is always good very convenient torque control. Nothing batteries hold water. I'll see if age well.
