Bosch Professional GSB-2-Li-Plus 18v Combi Drill is now even cheaper at Screwfix until 5th June.
Comes with 2 x 1.5Ah Li-Ion batteries, 50min charger and hard case.
13mm auto lock chuck, 21 torque settings, in built light and optional belt clip. Functions as screwdriver, drill or hammer. Weighs only 1.5kg so ideal for overhead work.
Some won't like the 1.5Ah batteries but remember there are 2 included in the deal. Absolutely fine for the average DIYer. This is Bosch professional blue, so all metal body and a 3 year warranty (2 on the batteries) if you register it online. Hard to beat at sub £90!
If you've shopped at screwfix before look out for a leaflet in the post, mine had a £5 off voucher so got this today for £84.99.

Bosch Blue, designed to be used and abused day in and day out by the trade. A cut above the Stanley in every respect. 2 x 1.5aH batts will be more than adequate for DIY. A stupidly good deal that I don't need but will probably buy anyway just for the day when my Milwaukee dies.

are you sure you haven't got it wrong way round? 18v is the power of the drill (higher the more powerful) and amp is the capacity (I.e. run time).

I realise there is a difference in battery capacity but for DIY use and assuming this will be my one and only drill, can anyone suggest whether I would be better of with this Bosch or the Stanley one from Homebase here...
Take your pick, theoretically the Stanley 2.0Ah battery should last longer but not necessarily so ! Bosch have been making power tools forever whereas in name, Stanley are relatively new to the power tool market. Sorry I can't offer a more definite answer. Apparently B & D, Stanley & DeWalt are all tied in together somehow.

Battery is just run time not power, and with 2 batteries you'll never be caught short.
Bosch is more powerful, better warranty, and a proper brand.

Probably a silly question but do any drill bits fit, or do I have to get specific ones (buying for son and I don't know anything about power tools)/ Thanks

Shropshire lass - don't worry, just buy it. Very good deal for a very solid bit of kit. I paid the same for the DIY quality green one. He'll be able to use it with all standard drill bits and attachments. Hot.

Thank you! Unless anyone else comes forward with a valid reason why the Stanley is better then you have made my decision for me!

I've got this albeit with 4.0 amp batteries. Bosch professional 3yr warranty . Metal gears . Forget about stanley and other DIY brands This drill is as good as Dewalt . 2 x 1.5 Li batteries will be sufficient for most diy tasks

They are both good drills. I know a professional Carpenter who swears by the Stanley even for daily use. I have the Bosch and like it because the batteries are compatible with my other tools and boxes.

You wont regret buying the Bosch. The blue professional range is very well built and you have the benefit of the bosch warranty. I'm delighted with mine!
