Bare-Tool Bosch PS20B 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver (Tool Only, No Battery)

Bare-Tool Bosch PS20B 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver (Tool Only, No Battery) Review



Bare-Tool Bosch PS20B 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver (Tool Only, No Battery) Feature

  • 100-Inch lbs of Torque - Drives 100 3-Inch screws per battery charge
  • LED Light - for tight spaces and applications
  • Forward and reverse button - equally useful at driving or removing screws
  • Variable speed trigger - for increased sensitivity and control
  • 10+1 clutch - enables precision driving and eliminates over torque in soft base materials. Max mode allows pilot and other small bore holes
Forty-percent lighter and 33-percent more productive than other ultra-compact drill/drivers, the Pocket Driver is small enough to fit into a tool belt pouch and lightweight and powerful enough to accomplish a majority of professional drill/driving tasks all day without fatigue. For carpenters, re modelers, electricians, woodworkers and more, the Pocket Driver is an invaluable complement to larger and heavier cordless drill/drivers. The 12-volt Max Pocket Driver measures only 6 by 6.5-inches, nearly half the size of stick drivers and other ultra-compact drill/drivers. Under 2 pounds (with battery), the Pocket Driver is also 40% lighter and comfortably fits into a tool belt pouch or back pocket, unlike the competition. The Pocket Driver can drive 100 3-inch screws per charge and drill holes up to 1/2-inch in diameter, more than enough to keep most professionals productive through the day. The variable speed trigger controls 0-400 rpm and over 100-inch/lbs. of torque. A 10+1 clutch system, similar to those of standard drill/drivers, offers 10 drive and one "Max" drill setting for better control. The tool's Clic-Change bit holder makes 1/4-inch hex shank bits changes quick and easy. And an LED light enhances visibility in dim working conditions, while a soft-grip handle makes the tool more comfortable for all day use. Litheon 12-volt Max tools, such as the Pocket Driver, were not possible before lithium-ion technology. In addition to larger more powerful 36-volt tools, Bosch recognized the opportunity to extend the inherent benefits of the new battery technology to innovate the lower end of the voltage spectrum with a never before seen ultra-compact, lightweight and powerful design.

Bosch 23612 Impactor 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver

Bosch 23612 Impactor 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver Review



Bosch 23612 Impactor 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver Feature

  • 12-volt Ni-Cad cordless driver with multiple-position swivel LED light
  • 1,050 inch-pounds of torque; variable-speed trigger up to 2,800 rpm; 3/8-inch chuck capacity
  • Rugged, lightweight plastic casing for real-world conditions; soft-grip handle
  • Includes driver, carrying case, 2 batteries, tool hook, 1-hour charger, double-ended bit
  • 4 pounds; 3-year protection plan
REVIEW: Torque, torque, torque—-that's what this driver's about. It's lightweight, compact and so simple to use: Just pull the collet locking sleeve forward, chuck in a bit and let the sleeve go and you've got 1,050 inch-pounds of torque in your hand. We got the best results with a little patience, starting slowly, blasting the speed and letting off gently, slowing to a stop. You'll learn to sense when the fastener is seated, because if you give it another go, the tool will twist right out of your hand. A couple of nice features set it apart from the competition, including a super comfortable rubberized grip and an integrated, three-position LED work light. It illuminates when you squeeze the trigger, or, if you prefer, you can turn the thumbwheel and shut the light off (though we found it pretty handy). Unlike other drills and drivers, the brushes on this model are easily accessible for cleaning and eventual replacement-—all you need is a coin to twist open the cover. Bosch makes it very clear that this is a driver and shouldn't be used as a drill. We like that it comes with two batteries, so you can one-hour charge one and keep working with the other. If you're turning bolts, nuts or screws on a daily basis, this is definitely worth the investment because it will quickly repay you in time and effort saved.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste Torque, torque, torque--that's what this driver's about.
