I have this one. Very balanced, Tourque like mad. I prefer it over 14 volt Dewalt.

The only problem I had was I broke the retaining screw for the chuck when undoing a bolt with it!

Hey, if anyone can use the old Mastercraft 14.4 battery packs I have 2 brand new ones here and the drill. The charger packed it in on me.

I ended up with 2 Dewalt 12v`s instead.


The Mastercraft bat packs are actually the old casings with brand new packs inside. I know cause I switched them. Canadian Tire screwed me, so I screwed them back.

Sorry for the OT hijack here.

I run the 14.4 B&D Firestorm and it works great. It even has an led level built in. Decent balance and good torque.

I have to say... i thought the same way when I bought my Bosch 12v 3/8" cordless drill last year.

This drill was great in the beginning but then something happend to the clutch on it, because even on the "drill" setting it would still slip to the point where it became a pain to use.

I took it to Bosch and they woulnd't service it under warrenty because they "claim" it was dropped by me rendering it defective. Now if you know me and kno whow I am about my tools I always take great care of them and make sure there never dropped or abused. I think it was just a defect in my drill and they didn't want to shell out the money to fix it.

Finally after complaining to head office over seas I got the drilled repaired under warrenty but it will make me think twice about the customer service I received from Bosch.
