I picked this drill up over the holidays at about this price. It's definitely Bosch's budget brushless option in that it has the least power, the cheapest led light, and mostly just looks kinda cheap with the large logo stickered on the side, compared to some of their other excellent tool body castings, but that's just me being very nit picky.
What matters the most is that it shares Bosch's excellent dna everywhere that counts. Slim hand-grip is dialed with excellent over-molding and nicely balanced. Drill spins fast, with an appropriate amount of torque, relatively quiet motor as far as drill drivers go, with a very linear trigger. The clutch settings actually work in an evenly stepped manner, which I've found to be characteristic of all Bosch drills and provides excellent precision. I have a dozen drills 12v and 18v, and this immediately entered and stayed in rotation at my workbench.
Good drill, nothing super fancy as noted but it gets the important things right. I got it in the combo set with the GDR18V-1800 impact driver and have been very happy with both.
Dang... didn't really need it but I love the 12V and 18V BOSCH drill and drivers I already have so for this price I'm going to add this compact drill/driver to my collection. Got it for $63.30 plus tax so it worked for me.... plus the usual 5% back with the Amazon Store Card. Sadly no option to increase that to 6% or more this time.
