When I squeezed the drill’s trigger, I felt its 80 inch-pounds of torque move my hand, and I’m 6'1", 270 pounds. This from a drill smaller than my first Walkman. The power comes from its Twinkie-size 10.8-volt lithium-ion battery. Bosch overcame li-ion’s biggest hurdle—that batteries can get really hot—by preventing the motor from drawing too much current. It drove 85 three-inch wood screws on a charge, twice the number I got from my nickel-cadmium-powered driver.
