This has everything you need in a corded drill.
Unlike other imports, this BOSCH is a solid and extremely well engineered tool. The controls are as simple as possible (form follows function), this drill is well balanced and a pleasure to use. Lengthly drilling into difficult materials has not resulted in an overheated tool!
This BOSCH can be serviced (carbon motor brushes) by the owner and is designed and built to last a lifetime. (It replaces a Chinese-made US-brand drill that cost less, looked like a bargain but did not last -- and could NOT be serviced.)
The BOSCH is so well made that I would actually feel good paying even more for such a life-time investment.
All this begs the obvious question: If the Swiss (with the highest standard of living in the world) can build and sell a drill like this one, why can't American companies like Dewalt orMilwaukee do the same? Hello?

Somewhere in Switzerland there was a convoy of parts destined to built military tanks, aircraft, and mining equipment. For some reason this convoy got diverted to the Bosch factory and they decided to make 1012VSR drills out of them. I feel as if this drill was literally forged from the finest steel and uses nothing but the highest quality plastics in the grip and housing. The torque is not only adequate but surprisingly powerful for the heaviest of home improvement projects. This drill makes short work out of a garage renovation I am undertaking. They could have charged me $249 for this drill and I'd still feel as if I was getting a bargain.
I've used some very nice Makita, Dewalt, and Milwaukee drills before. All of them were very nice but they also had a clunky, rough feel to them. The Bosch 1012VSR feels just as strong as the nicest drills from other manufacturers but the controls are so much smoother. The trigger for the drill speed is so smooth and linear that it honestly took me by surprise. Backing out a screw takes just a fine but controllable squeeze yet the drill can speed up to a screamingly fast RPM within a split second if needed.
To put it plain and simple this is the last drill I feel I will ever need to buy. I can't imagine another feature that a drill would need which would make it more desireable than this one. I don't care for cordless drills nor do I need them. The Bosch 1012VSR is perfect for home improvement and is a perfect drill for people who love quality tools that they will own forever.

I purchased this drill from Amazon in early 2012. It is Swiss made and is easy to handle for drilling and attaching screws. I own about a dozen drills of other brands (mostly 1/2 inch or larger) but wanted a 3/8 inch drill since I had given away my Milwaukee 3/8 inch to my son-in-law. I looked at a number of 3/8 drills but settled on the Bosch. This is my first Bosch drill and the place of mfg. entered into my decision but was not a deciding factor. The drill is quality all the way through like other Bosch tools. It has a great chuck that seems to really hold well and has a lot of torque and power for all 3/8 level applications. The gear train doesn't sound as good as a Milwaukee 0234 drill but the run-out is very low (unlike some of the China made drills on the market). This drill will likely last a lifetime and in my opinion is worth the cost.
