Awesome, thanks for sharing that link! So if I need to make some holes in concrete, would the 144W motor be sufficient?

From my experience, yes, it's more than enough power for most concrete tasks.

I had a friend use the Bosch GSR18V for some heavy-duty work, and he was really happy with its performance. It's versatile too - you can use it for other stuff besides concrete work.

Thanks for all the input! I'm leaning towards getting the Bosch GSR18V. How's the battery life? Can it handle a full day of work without needing a recharge?

In my experience, it can definitely last a whole day if you're not using it constantly at high power settings.

I agree with that. The battery life is pretty impressive for an 18V drill.

Great! Thanks everyone for your advice. I'll probably go ahead and get the Bosch GSR18V then.
