Stubborn lug nuts, beefy bolts, lag screws and hex-head bolts require a lot more force than your average ratchet wrench offers. And even one try with an open-end wrench will send you searching for a better way to tighten large fasteners like these. Smaller than a standard driver but meaner than a junkyard dog, Bosch’s 12-volt impact wrench is great for driving concrete anchors, framing, deck building, and automotive work. The wrench features an innovative hammer-and-anvil system that delivers 1,050 in./lbs. of torque, offering 30 percent more power than standard impact drivers. A soft-grip handle absorbs impact and reduces fatigue for extended jobs. A high-performance motor with all-metal gears spins the chuck at up to 2,800 rpm’s and offers 3,200 blows-per-minute to bust loose rusted lug nuts or fretted bolts. Weighing in at just 3.7 pounds and measuring just 6.5 inches in length, this tool gets in and around tight quarters such as floor joists, attic rafters, and low decks. Externally accessible brushes mean easy brush replacement. A multi-purpose reversible tool hook is great for both left- and right-hand use. Multiple-position swivel LED lighting illuminates the work for easy driving in low light like attics and basements and under decks. And, an aluminum gear housing with protective rubber front makes this tool is jobsite tough. The tool is backed by a one-year guarantee.

Not enough can be said about Bosch’s Bluecore charging system, which offers 50 percent longer battery life than previous Bosch batteries. The batteries are equipped with internal cooling rods that disperse heat evenly for a more efficient charge. The charger charges all Bluecore batteries and previous generation Bosch batteries in half the time it use to take, now just 30 minutes! The battery is also equipped with a sensor that works with the charger to maintain thermal control, as well as an easy-to-read display with a multi-stage LED indicator that updates the charge status. The system is also compatible with all current 12- to 24-volt Bosch power tools, so you won't have to purchase new tools or a new charger if you already have either. The charging system is backed by a two-year manufacturer guarantee. --Brian D. Olson

Bosch HDS180-02 18V Compact Tough Hammer Drill Driver with 2 1.3Ah Batteries, Blue

Bosch HDS180-02 18V Compact Tough Hammer Drill Driver with 2 1.3Ah Batteries, Blue Review

Bosch HDS180-02 18V Compact Tough Hammer Drill Driver with 2 1.3Ah Batteries, Blue Feature

• 4-Pole High Performance Motor - For maximum power in the most compact size
• New Patented Gear Train and Clutch - Enables most compact design in its class and lightest weight
• Flexible Power System - Both DD and HDD are compatible with every 18V Li-ion Bosch battery
• Ergonomic Grip Zone - Smallest diameter in market enables better gripping and greater comfort
• New Ergonomic Design - Modified orientation relative to handle increase comfort

Ready for all drilling applications in materials from concrete to wood to metal, the compact yet powerful Bosch HDS180-02 Compact Tough cordless hammer drill/driver's 7-1/2-inch head length is the smallest in its class, yet it delivers top performance with strong power. It works with all Bosch 18-volt lithium-ion batteries, and this kit includes two 1.3 Ah Slim Pack batteries to help keep things light.

More power in a smaller size with 4-pole open frame motor (view larger).

 

HDS180-02 Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver At a Glance: Powered by Bosch 18-volt lithium-ion batteries Includes two 1.3 Ah Slim Pack batteries Two speed settings (up to 500 RPM and 1,700 RPM) Maximum of 600 inch-pounds of torque 18+1 clutch settings and a variable-speed trigger 1/2-inch keyless chuck Three-year ProVantage protection plan

Fast Speeds and High Torque

Part of the Compact Tough series, the HDS180-02 has two optimized speeds--one ideal for high-torque applications (0-500 RPM) and one for high-speed applications (0-1,700 RPM)--and it provides a maximum of 600 inch-pounds of torque. The 4-pole open frame motor and newly developed gearbox provide exceptional power. The 18+1 clutch settings included in this Compact Tough model and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. It can also drive 500 screws per charge when using the 3.0 Ah HC battery (not included).

Balanced Design and Easy Bit Changes

The HDS180-02's Durashield housing is constructed with ABS/nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible on impact and able to withstand tough job-site conditions. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.

The ratcheting single-sleeve 1/2-inch keyless chuck makes bit changes simple and quick with one hand. The ergonomically designed handle and soft-grip wrapped housing offer a comfortable fit for extended working time. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.

Flexible Power System

Like all tools in Bosch's 18-volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3 Ah Slim Pack battery (model BAT609), a 2.6-Ah Fat Pack battery (model BAT618), or the 3.0 Ah HC Fat Pack battery (model BAT619G). If you're looking for a lightweight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job.

ProVantage Guarantee The HDS180-02 comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.

• LED light, ideal for tight spaces and applications
• Forward/reverse button makes it equally useful at driving or removing screws
• Variable speed trigger provides increased sensitivity and control
• 10+1 clutch enables precision driving and eliminates over torque in soft base materials

Forty percent lighter and 33% more productive than any other ultra-compact drill/driver currently on the market, the Bosch PS20-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver with Two Batteries offers big power in a small package. Ideal for carpenters, remodelers, electricians, woodworkers, and do-it-yourselfers of all kinds, this driver is an invaluable addition to your tool chest.

The PS20-2A can drive 100 three-inch screws on a single battery charge. View larger.

12-Volt Litheon Batteries for Long-Lasting Power
The PS20-2A gets its power from Litheon batteries, the most advanced lithium-ion batteries available today. These batteries allow more battery charges and provide longer runtime with no memory effect--meaning the batteries don't need to be empty before charging. The batteries can also be taken out of the charger before charging is complete.

Other benefits include: significantly less self discharge; electronic cell protection that guards against overheating, overload, and deep discharge; and no loss of power from the first to last screw or hole. Best of all, these batteries will fully charge in 30 minutes and will be at 85% capacity in just 15 minutes.

Compact, Lightweight Design for Efficient, Fatigue-Free Work
Measuring only 6.0 by 6.5 inches--nearly half the size of stick drivers and other ultra-compact drills/drivers--and weighing just 1.8 pounds (with batteries), the PS20-2A packs a punch without taking up too much space. Its compact design makes it easier to drill straight holes at high and otherwise odd angles, allowing you to accomplish a day's worth of professional drill/driving tasks without excessive fatigue. You can also carry the tool in your pocket, hang it on your tool belt, or keep it in a nail pouch when you're climbing ladders or moving from task to task.

High Torque and Fast Speeds for Quick, Reliable Results
This powerful tool provides over 100 in./lbs. of torque--25% more torque than comparable models--for ultra-efficient driving and drilling. It drives 100 three-inch screws (per battery charge) and drill holes up to 1/2-inch in diameter. The PS20-2A also offers variable speeds up to 500 RPM--25% more speed for fast, reliable results.

10+1 Clutch with Max Setting for Improved Control
The 10+1 clutch system, similar to that of standard drills/drivers, offers 10 drives and one "Max" drill setting for control and precision, while eliminating over-torque in soft-base materials. The Max setting also allows for pilot and other small bore holes. For added convenience, the 10+1 controls are conveniently located at the front of the drill, so it's a snap to make quick adjustments.

Ergonomics and Soft Grips for Long-Term Comfort
Besides its light weight, the PS20-2A boasts great ergonomics and soft grips to deliver comfort over extended periods, giving you the freedom to work all day without over-taxing your wrists and hands. And it's easy to keep bits handy, thanks to the tool's "Clic-Change" bit holder, which also makes 1/4-inch hex shank bit changes quick and easy. Additionally, the chuck is magnetized to secure locking bits.

Variable-Speed Trigger and Forward/Reverse Button for Precision and Versatility
The PS20-2A drills up to 3/8 inch in wood and 1/4 inch in steel. To help ensure high-quality results, the variable-speed trigger provides sensitivity and control for optimum precision. And for added versatility, there's a forward/reverse button for driving or removing screws.

User-Friendly and Durable for Hassle-Free Drilling and Driving
A motor brake features an improved design for serial screwing, while a metal clutch ring has a robust design for long-term durability. There's also an LED to illuminate dark or enclosed areas while you work.

ProVantage Guarantee
The PS20-2A comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.
