Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 1005VSRK 5.5 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill
Customer Review: Cheap drill, but solid
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this drill because I was looking for an inexpensive corded drill, and because my Bosch table saw is an excellent tool. I'm a homeowner/woodworker, and I do most of my work my garage workshop, so battery-powered drills don't get me much. This drill does fit the bill.
I bought the drill, figuring that the reviews mentioning an inconsistent startup issues mentioned by the other reviews were old, and that Bosch would have fixed the issue. But, alas, it's hard to tell exactly when and how quickly the drill will turn. It's like the drill I learned to use 20 years ago as a kid. This absolutely fine if you're drilling holes with conventional bits around the house -- but if your main use for this tool were to drive screws or turn a doorknob cutter, this drill would drive you crazy.
Also, the motor's reduction-gear make an unexpected mechanical noise. I took the drill apart and there was no inappropriate wear anywhere, so it's all good. But it's just surprisingly for those of us who are accustomed to modern drills.
The motor is reasonably powerful and I have yet to have it bog down on anything.
It's a solid tool with decent ergonomics, and I expect it will give me years good service. But, in the mean time, I'll be keeping an eye out for that elusive perfectly-designed reasonably-priced basic corded electric drill.
