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 and Powerful for Most Drilling/Driving Applications
Small and powerful enough to go where power tools could never go before, the PS10-2A handles 80% of all drilling and driving applications and easily fits in a belt pouch. The driver uses 1/4-inch hex bits that change easily thanks to the quick-change chuck, and it features a comfortable and responsive two-finger trigger.

Compact, Articulating Head for Easy Access of Hard-to-Read Areas
With its compact head that measures 3.5 inches and extended length of just under one foot, the PS10-2A is three times shorter than the leading competitor and is the first pro tool to rotate 90 degrees. Without the cumbersome pistol grip of most comparable drivers, the PS10-2A features a sturdy tool body and an articulating head that rotates and locks in five different positions. And because the head is so compact, you can slide this tool into hard-to-reach areas or tight corners, like between studs, under the sink, and between joints.

Electronic Clutch and Responsive Trigger for Precision
The PS10-2A provides 80 in./lbs. of torque, which allows you to drive approximately 100 three-inch screws per battery charge. Additionally, its 7+1 electronic clutch ensures precision driving by letting you match the correct speed to the task at hand. The driver's trigger boasts a revolutionary design that provides increased sensitivity and control and eliminates over-torque in soft base materials. An added bonus, the design makes it easy to switch to the drill mode for making pilot and other small bore holes.

Smart Features for Easy Use
To help minimize work fatigue, even as you position the drill over your head or at awkward angles, the PS10-2A's cushion-grip handle ensures comfort in the grip zone. For added convenience, an integrated hanger hook allows for easy tool storage and accessibility.

ProVantage Guarantee
The PS10-2A 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.

We'd wager there have been plenty of times you tried to maneuver a drill/driver into a spot that just wouldn't allow it and wished you had a small, powerful tool that would drive a screw where others just can't go. Here it is. The PS10-2A is one of the handiest, most powerful little drivers we've laid hands on. It's impressively powered by "litheon," which Bosch calls "the industry's most advanced lithium-ion battery technology." We can attest that there's absolutely no lag in power, and the run time is great; more than 100 drives per charge. Recharge time is just 30 minutes, so you should never have to wait for a battery. The best feature, of course, is the clever design. Instead of a pistol grip like most drivers, this one has a sturdy tool body and an articulating head that has five detents, letting you set it however you need it. The head itself is just 3-1/2-inches long, so it's no struggle at all to slip it into tight spaces suchas in between studs, under-sink cabinets, between joists and other tricky situations. If it's length you need, just flip the head to the vertical position and it's literally like having a screwdriver at your fingertips; it's not quite a-foot long at its full length. It uses 1/4-inch hex bits, and they're easy to change. We would have liked to see some on-board bit storage, but that's a small point. The two-finger trigger is comfortable, and it's quite sensitive, so take care not to strip your fasteners while you're on the learning curve. In all, we're really pleased with this little driver, and we think there's a place for it in just about every toolbox. Includes: tool, (1) carrying case, (2) 12-volt batteries, (1) 30-minute charger, (2) 1.5-inch drive bits.
