Overview

The Bosch 11255VSR is a corded electric drill pulling 7.08 amps and spinning at 1300 RPM, with a weight of 10.4 pounds, notably heavier than a typical light-duty drill driver.

The amperage and weight here point to a drill built for sustained, demanding use rather than quick household jobs. At over 10 pounds, this is a two-handed tool meant to stay planted in a task rather than get picked up for a five-minute job.

Who it's for

Suits users who need a corded drill with real power behind it for tougher drilling work, rather than someone looking for a light, one-handed driver.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out

High amperage corded motor for sustained power
No battery to run down mid-job
Weight adds stability when drilling under load

What to check first

10.4 pounds is heavy for one-handed or overhead use
Corded design limits mobility on the job

Performance notes

7.08 amps on a corded connection supplies steady power without the runtime limits of a battery, while the 1300 RPM speed and 10.4 pound weight suggest the tool favors torque and stability over fast spinning. The heft helps keep the bit steady under load but calls for two-handed use over longer sessions.
