A host of other features make this a great tool to own and use. External motor brushes can be replaced in as little as 2 minutes. All motor brushes eventually wear out. External brushes that you can change yourself will save service costs down the line, and the Bosch's brushes are easy to access and change quickly, which is nice, since "drill motor maintenance" is rarely on anyone's list of favorite recreational activities. There is a 15-position clutch to prevent stripped screwheads and buried screws; a ratcheting, single-sleeve 1/2-inch chuck for one handed bit changes and carbide-steel teeth for a stronger bit grip. A 2-speed gear box to provides optimal performance for both high-torque and high-speed applications. The integrated magnetic bit holder at the base of the handle is easy to access.--Tod Harrick
Bluecore Battery Technology
Bluecore batteries offer up to 50% longer life than comparable batteries of the same voltage and a fast charging time. Special cooling rods absorb the head inside the batteries. Sensors within the batteries communicate with the new Bosch 30-minute chargers to ensure optimal results. Bluecore batteries are completely compatible with all Bosch cordless tools.
Fast 30-Minute Charger
Available in single or dual bay models, this charging station charges all Bosch 9.6-, 12-, 14.4-, 18-, and 24-volt cordless tool batteries in 30 minutes. A microprocessor measures internal battery temperatures to optimize energy flow and maximize battery charge capacity. 2 LED indicators make it easy to see when your batteries are fully charged.

What’s not to love, with all that power tucked into such a small, light, easy-on-your-body package? And there’s awesome speed, too, with a three-tier system that offers 0 to 300 rpm in low range, 0 to 600 in mid-range and a top spread of 0 to 1,700 rpm in third speed, to suit whatever material you’re drilling or driving into. Sometimes, you may encounter a little resistance if you’re switching from low gear to high; if that happens, running the tool in mid-gear for a couple seconds completely alleviates any snag.
We probably don’t have to tell you about Makita quality; their tools are made to last. The gear transmission here is all metal; the locking ratcheting chuck grabs bits like super glue; brushes are easily accessible for routine maintenance and reduced down time; the reversing switch has a center neutral position that functions as a lock-off for safety. They’ve even put a lot of thought into the design of the grip; it’s rubberized and feels great in hand. Even the balance is perfect.
Whether you’re in the construction trade, an avid do-it-yourselfer or just looking to buy your first drill, you absolutely won’t regret buying this one. -- Kris Jensen-Van Heste

As a class, Bosch Compact Tough drills are designed to offer extreme durability in a small package. The 33614-2G delivers tons of power in a compact size that makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces than many other drills in its class. At a relatively slim 5.3 pounds and with an ergonomic, soft-grip handle, this is a very comfortable drill to use. The Bosch-built unibody power train that contains the motor, gearbox, and clutch in one contiguous unit for durability and the best alignment possible. That and the Durashield housing, made from a flexible ABS nylon blend, makes the tool extremely resistant to damage, including multiple 1-story drops in Bosch's tests. A steel-reinforced collar protects the tool even when it is dropped on the chuck.
Other features include a 15-position clutch to prevent stripped screwheads and buried screws; a ratcheting, single-sleeve 1/2-inch chuck for one handed bit changes; and a 2-speed gear box to provide optimal performance for both high-torque and high-speed applications.
