seems like bosch prices quite stable... or hovering in that range

Where did you bought it ? Taobao ? Because this model only available at China

Damn!
I need to do the occasional drilling but I also need to drive screws into some tough wood.
The wood is hard enough I can't hand-screw the screw all the way in.
I'd love to buy two power tool (power drill and impact driver) but have only budget for one.
I guess the power drill should be my first tool then.
Any suggestions for features I should look out for?

anybody know the price for

GDR 10,8-LI Professional , priced at about 400 bucks retail, some forummer said he got it at 300 (special friend price)
http://www.bosch-pt.com.my/papocs-my/Trade...21593/index.htm
( Torque, max. (hard screwdriving applications) 105 Nm )
Weight incl. battery 0,96 kg

I just published another youtube video clips demonstrating driving screw using several type of tools.

1) Phillips screwdriver, Torque:  As much as my hand can twist.
2) Mini ratchet socket/screwdriver, Torque: Larger than screwdriver
3) Bosch iXO, 2nd generation. Torque: 4Nm
4) Makita TD0101F, impact driver. Torque: 100 Nm

I am not a skillful as a professionals...so, this might the represent the most efficient way for driving screw.

Enjoy

Thank you.

Yes, ratchet driver is for small place and limited spaces, where we cannot use longer screwdriver.

Actually, I also have a ratchet screwdriver, but the handle diameter is smaller than the screwdriver in the video. I tried that also, and did not give a better result. 

The problem with handtools is to keep the screwdriver at the screw's slot firmly, especially when we want to give extra torque/twist. It tend to move and slips, which may damaging the screw's head or the screwdriver's tip. The cheap screwdriver's tip is easier to be damaged and useless in no time.

Sorry for the delays... Here is the picture of the antenna mounted in the roof's attic.
I am using PVC pipe as the pole/mast. Easy to cut to the length I wanted.

But,  the cheap one from MYR2 shops also has the 'black' colored tip, and not as good as a branded one. . I have several occasions when I really really need to drive screws, but the the screwdriver's tip was damaged, and really made me frustrated. Even a simple handtools also need to be good in quality.

So, if you want to use it for long time, get a better branded one from hardware shop.

no idea about the torque adjuster..

i think the trigger is some kind of control..

can't comment on it ...

+1. I also had a pliers and set of precision screw drivers which I bought when I was in Japan, and were long lasting until they were lost ...

Beside the tool's quality, using it  appropriately also can make things last longer.  Always use the correct tools.

How do you decide which torque setting to use?

More power to goes wrong.  That's why high end super torque impact drivver has speed and torque selector. So it is safe for people who knows how to use it
