Bosch PBD 40 | Review and Field Report After 5 Years Of Drilling in Metal

The Bosch PBD 40 bench drill has been helping me for the past 5 years to drill small and not so small holes into steel. Thanks to its design, it can even be (mis-)used as a magnetic drill. For a bench drill costing around 250,- Euro, that's actually quite ok, isn't it? The video footage in this video is from the past 5 years. And the machine still works, in case anyone is wondering. :-)
