   A DIY’ers dream – my favorite tool in the chest!
   It’s light, it’s powerful, it’s excellent. Buy one and you’ll see the difference. I’ve owned mine for about six months now and it’s the tool I reach for the most often.
   I got this after a string of cordless screwdriver failures. I would always buy the “Father’s Day Special” $20-$40 cordless screwdriver from the hardware store, and these work great for a while. Over time, though, the batteries tend to go, and you find yourself in the driveway on Christmas day, assembling something your mother-in-law bought for the kids. The battery in your cordless screwdriver’s dead, and nobody’s willing to take “no” for an answer. I was fed up, so I picked up one of these as a replacement.
   I can’t stop singing its praises. First of all, it’s small and light. It’s probably half the weight of my previous cordless drills/screwdrivers. This means a lot when you’ve got your hands over your head to hang curtains or a ceiling fan. The size means that it fits into my pocket or the hammer loop on my carpenter jeans. It also fits perfectly into my tool belt’s holster.
   It’s also powerful, with a great battery and charger. At low clutch levels, I can use it to unscrew the battery doors on the kids’ toys. At higher clutch levels, I can drill into drywall, plywood, and studs. I’ve only ever needed the lower of the two speed settings. The battery charges fast with the included quick-charger, and having two means that I can run it continuously all day if needed.
   The quick-change 1/4″ chuck is nice, even if it’s not universal. I picked up some compatible drillbits and a magnetic bit holder, which is usually good enough for most jobs. Since this chuck is pretty common, finding parts that fit it is relatively easy. You can buy what you need and feel confident that you can get more bits at any hardware store.
   I can’t say it enough – this is my favorite tool, and it’s saved me time and effort in almost every job I’ve used it on. It’s well worth the cost and should be a no-brainer addition to anyone’s DIY toolbox.

   11 Years and going strong!
   I bought one of these along with the very similar drill version in Dec 2013 for use in my commercial shop. It is now Nov 2024 and both are still being used regularly INCLUDING the 4 original batteries.
   This driver has received almost daily use for 11 years and is still working great. I’ve had a lot of cordless tools over the years and can’t think of any where both the tool and batteries are still good after more than a decade of use.
   This is an absolutely outstanding tool. The feature that often gets overlooked on something like this is the accuracy and sensitivity of the clutch. Most drills do not have a clutch that can be reliably used on small screws without stripping the holes. This guy can drive even tiny things like #6×1/2″ screws in soft wood all day long with the perfect torque.
   It is small enough to fit in tight spaces; the lack of a chuck combined with a short bit make the overall length very short. Despite being lightweight and compact, it is extremely durable and never feels fragile. It has a nice fat grip that fits perfectly in the hand. The trigger pull allows for a wide range of speed variation for good control. The batteries, despite their tiny size, last a really long time.
   We frequently use it with a 1/4 or 3/8″ socket adapter to quickly thread fasteners in or out during assembly operations.
   A couple years ago we replaced all of our cordless drills with new 12V brushless Milwaukees. I love the power and high RPM of these units. However, they now have an electronic rather than mechanical clutch. That clutch is absolutely worthless on almost everything. It basically cuts the power at a specific torque, which sounds great in theory. But unlike a mechanical clutch, it doesn’t instantly stop the torque. The spin-down time of the motor before full stop means that unless you’re going really slow, anything you’d want to use a clutch on will strip out before it stops turning.
   As a result, this Bosch driver has become even more popular as the brushless Milwaukees are now exclusively drill-only use.
   Now I’m back to buy a few more of these driver and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a quality clutch for their operations.

   This has been my “go to” tool for at least 14 years….
   Yes, I just bought one….. Why? I gave my old one to my daughter because it was easier to give it to her than check my luggage to bring it home. After all the years of use, it still worked like a charm. This one has the exact same feel as the old one… and the batteries are interchangeable with the older model – which gives me 6 batteries (not that I ever need all of them….) I have three of this series of tools…. an impact driver, an adjustable angle head drill driver, and this tool. The batteries are interchangeable…. and they last. My only caveat is don’t run the batteries down to zero charge so they overheat and keep them inside when not in use so they don’t freeze or get hot. Also… don’t leave them on the charger. Charge them up and take them off.
   The compact size of this tool is it’s most obvious feature, but it’s also powerful. I used the old one to completely remodel a house… one screw / hole at a time. It fits into other places where a larger tool will not…. drawer glides, hinges, inside drawers to mount the drawer fronts….. and where it doesn’t fit, my adjustable angle head version does. The impact is plenty powerful and I prefer it to the Milwaukee that I have. The speed trigger is more sensitive on the Bosch…. the Milwaukee — although variable speed – seems like it’s pretty much on/off – not the slow buildup required for certain applications.
   Overall, I think this is a great tool…. if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have bought another one.

   I use it every day at work to remove and re hang doors.
   It’s so light and powerful.. and makes life much easier.
   My previous Bosch power screwdriver lasted 16 years.
   I expect this tool to last for many many years

   Great battery. Very useful for light drilling and driving light duty srews. Bonus that it comes with 2 batteries
