Just bought the 12v drill/driver made by Bosch. I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't buy it from Amazon because I found it cheaper on E... Only reason is I'm such a tightwad I make every penny squeek when I'm buying tools. That's why I don't buy cheap tools and this certainly ain't cheap.

br /I've been using it since I got it and it's a dream tool. I drill with #55 size bits and all my other drills were so heavy I'd break a bit every 7th or 8th hole. Still on the same bit since I switched to the PS20-2A.
br /
br /The batteries, (you get 2 with the PS20-2A), charge in about 30 minutes and seem to last forever. I tried wearing one down in the first 3 hours of intermittent drilling and couldn't do it.
br /
br /The only thing I'd comment negatively about is that stupid little super-brite LED they put on the drill. I guess it's supposed to illuminate the drill tip at the point of contact but it only lights up the area below the actual area you need lighted. I sent a note to Bosch about this flaw so maybe they'll fix it. Well, I can dream can't I?
br /
br /Finally, If you need a great little Drill/driver that'll become a star of your toolbox or belt this is the one. I don't gush unless it's very special but this tool is super special. Best Regards

I am an enthusiastic model airplane builder and flyer, but 65 years of age and hands that aren't as nimble as in years past. The Bosch PS20-2A makes the job a lot more enjoyable handling small drill bits, screws, and other tasks that I am defining as I go. Also, I purchased it at an extremely reasonable price from amazon.com.

This light duty driver is everything you would expect and hope for and quite a bit more. Battery life is excellent. I drive half to one a half inch screws with it all day cabinet making and have to change batteries only every other day or so. Its small size, light weight and excellent balance make it a pleasure to use. Bosch has created a real winner.

Even better

I received this driver because of a promotion when I bought another PS20 10.8 Volt Model. That driver is already great but besides of running with 10.8 and 12 volt batteries the PS20-2A spins up to 500 rpm`s instead of the 400 rpm`s of the 10.8 Volt model.
br /While that doesn`t sound to much it is really a great improvement in driving in screws.
br /
br /These driver are really on of the most handy tool I have owned, I used the bigger cordless driver less and less.
br /
br /Another big improvement is the "Clic-Change" bit holder, it holds now the bits without a bit holder and it has a magnet.

I LOVE this drill!

This is by far my favorite tool that I own. It is incredibly powerful. Bits lock in place so they are unable to pull/fall out. The lithium ion batteries last a really long time and will last even if you do not use the driver for a long period of time. I also own the Skil version of this and it is night and day. Spend the extra money and you will not be disappointed.

Great screwdriver!

The Bosch line is great. I have all the 9.8v tools and this one is no diffrent. It's exactly the same tool as the 9.8. In fact you can use the battries an charger in either one.The 12v rating is just a sales gimmick to make you think it's new. Still a great tool.
