I have just ordered one of these so until it arrives I can't comment on the drill itself but basing my opinion on other deals I have seen on here, this seems quite good but please do point out if I've made a big mistake!
Bosch's drill range seems a little complicated but from what I can make out, this model is a Dynamic Series model that is the middle of the three in the Blue range. It seems the cheaper GSB2 model which has come up on here a few times recently is the lower end Light Series. This vid shows some of the differences...

The link below is from the Bosch site comparing the GSB V Dynamic with the GSB 2 Light (ignore battery spec, this is just for the purpose of comparing the drill units themselves)...
I hope I got my facts right but please post if I've missed anything and I'll update the info.

Saw the same deal at B&q over the weekend, or screw fix have the 4ah battery model for the same price, but you only get a single battery.. Depends on your needs.
Nice drill, but not exactly light.

The B&Q deal posted on here recently was the same drill as you say but that deal was with 1.5ah batts. I nearly bought one but couldn't find stock locally...glad I didn't now!

400% longer battery time and can drill only 20 holes 6mm×50. Doesn't sound like much. Don't you think?

That's into masonry only. Not sure if that's good or bad though.

Mine arrived today, less than 24 hours after ordering using the free delivery option. Not opened it yet but full marks for service!
think 2 x2ah battery is better as you can always have one charged while using the other

That's also a different drill at Screwfix. It's the model below. See links in first post for details.

I was debating with myself yesterday if I really needed to change my old drill for this one.
The addition of the free tools into the mix has knocked me off the fence.
Cheers op.
(Anyone know how much the "free" tools would normally cost?)

Hmm Tomb
You claim you was debating with yourself, smells fishy, there is another word starting with m and ending in ting, is that what you were doing but did not have the conviction to go public about it? never mind your secret is safe with me and nobody will know who does not read this column.
