Re: Bosch Motors

I own an 18V 1/2" Ryobi drill. I don't know if they make a 12V model but this thing is absolutely fantastic I haven't taken in apart yet but I've tried shifting it both up and down numerous times while running under lots of different rpms and it never complained even once. Seamless transition between gears even while runing at full speed and downshifting. Runs fast, smooth, and true. We have a Dewalt 14.4V 3/8" that we use to build robots and that thing is a piece of junk. I swear it's going to give out any day now. It wobbles and makes strange noises.
