Bosch GDS 18V-EC 250
Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

Best price: £478 | Battery: 18V Li-ion

Professional quality from this Bosch tool, which comes with two high-capacity 5Ah lithium-ion batteries. There’s a work light in the nose which, like the Makita, stays on for a few seconds after the trigger is released. You also get a belt clip and wrist strap, plus battery status indicator on the power pack. Our test bolt barely troubled it, and the grip is well shaped. It’s a touch bigger than our top two and a little trickier to control at low speeds, but a great option if you can justify the cost.
