Beware of Bosch 4 piece 10.8V kit

[Mark_Burgess]

Okay, I thought i would get an impact driver and a new SMALL screwdriver as well.

So I opted for the bosch 4 piece kit with a carry bag.

Little did I know that the bag requires a wheel barrow to cart it around!!!!

The whole 4 piece kit can go in the left compartment with room to spare, looks like I HAVE to buy more to fill the rest of the case as a smaller case is far too easy an option!

I bought the same kit about a year ago and it came with a smaller bag that doesn't look as useful as that! By the time you've got cavity wall fixings, wall plugs, screws, a second charger etc it's too small. Swap you if you want! Also I think this is the new system they have where any new bits you buy will come in a plastic box that will fit in one of those compartments. I'd recommend the 10.8 10mm chuck drill to go with it too as is around £100 and gives you a second charger and 2 new batteries too so the whole lot is interchangeable.

Hi Cornburn, I might get that drill, but I have the 18V Bosch drill with 3 batteries. Then agian its a cheapish way to get another charger and 2 batteries.

It looks like I might have to fill the big gap with the cordless circular saw

In the mean time I will get the small bag they do, is it the grey and blue one you have?

Isn't the right hand compartment for the dog?

Ha, yes but i dont think she would like to be zipped up!

I found a another bag in the shed to use and it doubles up as a perfect anti theft device, an old ryobi tool bag!!

This is what mine came in, looks like an old rag compared to yours so stop your complaining

I am having issues with the batteries they only last a few months!!! Does anyone else have this problem?

 

[cornburn]

Nope mine are still all fine, a bit dented from using them to hammer wall plugs in but good apart from that! Depends how much use yours are getting I suppose - worth looking at the warranty?

My batteries still ok and I have been hammering the drill/driver and impact gun for about a year(drill/driver has been used a few times with a 1" spade bit for drilling joists ).
But my mate bought a set for diy and one of his battreies was very poor but back to screwfix and they swopped it for him.
