Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch PS20-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver with 2 Batteries

Customer Review: good but not great
Summary: 3 Stars

Maybe I am biased because I have had and used extensively (dropped, smashed, etc.) my 2 Makita 18v impact drivers.


1) I feel the Bosch is not as ergonomic as the Makitas (try holding the Bosch-----it wants to slip free from your hand because of the absence of a extended base for grip (they could have packed a bit more punch in the batteries or added something with that needed space) and a nice "slam-in-your-hand" feel with a more indented thumb/forefinger pad rest...you know...how even a Dewalt just kind of slams into your grip. This Bosch I assume is meant to be coddled and gently placed in one's hand (time=$, reach into a tool box and your hand, by touch and feel alone will grab the tool that feels right, I bet the Bosch would be last or low on that list.

2) VERY IMPT.! HOW ABOUT A BELT CLIP????? (like Makita and how about a little chunk of plastic for a bit holder----again, like Makita!!!!). I assumed a marvel this small, light, and powerful would by its very nature be designed to be right at hand, ......I guess Bosch does not agree; it is even a pain to keep in a tool pouch .I can't even think of where I could put a cable tie, caribiner, etc to make this more functional.

3) Have LED light stay on for a milli-second or 2 like Makita so you can inspect your work (I know; you can depress the trigger a bit just for the light but c'mon! ....... INTUITIVE DESIGN is definitely not something Bosch screams to their engineers.

4) Batteries last pretty well.

It sits and I use it rarely, the pouch is nice though to hold other stuff (not a molded piece of plastic like every other case I toss).

In conclusion, a nifty little tool, that is awkward to hold but still has me reaching for the (heavier BUT W/A BELT CLIP) Makita.

Back to the drawing board Bosch.

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.

What's in the Box
Pocket Driver with two 12-volt batteries, 30-minute charger, soft carrying case, and two 1.5-inch bits.
