Bosch PS20 2 Litheon 10.8 Volt Lithium Ion Pocket Driver with 2 Batteries

Editorial Review
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, remodelers, electricians, woodworkers and more, the Pocket Driver is an invaluable complement to larger and heavier cordless drill/drivers. The 10.8-volt 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 80-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 10.8-volt 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. The Ultra-Compact Bosch PS20 LITHEON 10.8-volt Pocket Driver comes complete with two batteries, 30-minute charger, soft carrying case and two bits.

Good balance between power and duration use

2008-06-07
Drove self taping screws all day into a roof of a 2 car garage with TIN all day. My brother used it a lot and he stated he wished ALL his tools had a bright LED like that when the daylight started to fade out on us. We only used one battery but I had another one charged and ready to go. The first one did not loose power or die on us. That's a lot of screws.

Just what I needed

2008-06-01
I bought one of these for use in a contract manufacturing environment. I'm the manager of several mechanical assemblers and just received a new contract to build laptop docking stations. These kits come with 2 batteries and a super charger that recharges the batteries in just 30 minutes. They will last up to 4 hours of constant use. Tongue is perfect and very easy to adjust. Not overly noisy like some impact guns. This is a nice smooth operation driver that does what it is supposed to do very nicely. I bought a second one for the same use. I'm not only a manager, I'm an assembler too. Had to have one myself.

This little drill packs a punch. Thank you, Bosch!

This quality little drill / electric screwdriver is absolutely wonderful. It's smaller and lighter than a regular drill, but has a lot of power for its size (unlike those 3 to 4 volt "electric" screwdrivers). Rubber grip built-in handle is nice, easy to change bits (just pull, insert, and release), and LED light make this a very comfortable and easy to use tool. I was hesitant because of the price, but finally pulled the trigger and bought one, and I am very happy that I did so. I use this little Bosch drill much more than my bigger and heavier drill, and more as an electric screwdriver than a drill. Very happy with this product and highly recommend it to all.

In small tool, a big power

Bosch PS20-2 Pocket Driver

2008-05-06
Bosch has always made some of my favorite tools. When I saw the Pocket Driver at a trade show and felt how light and powerful it was, I knew I found a great all-around screw driver for my business. I can use it for pocket screw joinery because the torque settings snug things up without crushing the wood. With the variable speed trigger, I can use it for controlled installation/removal of slotted screws. Contrary to some reviews, I even do some light drilling to start small screws (Vix Bits). Three people have tried mine and immediately bought their own. My DeWalt is now only used for drilling holes. Now I'm looking seriously at the Bosch Impact Driver for those screws the Pocket Driver can't handle.

NEWS FLASH?? SAME PISTOL, NEW 12 V VERSION! 7/21/08

2008-07-22
I had to check, and recheck, but sure enough, Bosch is now packaging these in a 12volt version being sold at LOWES here in Fort Lauderdale, Florida...Everything else looks identical (case,2 batts, charger, etc), just the batts are now 12 volts! Bosch claiming increased speeds and torque! The price for this "High Voltage" versions wes $128USD as of 7/21/08. Odd. I couldn't find ANY supporting literature on the higher volt versions and include the PS20 models as well-

JUST ONE QUESTION. WHY WOULD YOU WANT BOTH THE PS20 AND PS40 VERSIONS-just wondering. . .

Hsppy Hunting!

Bosh 10.8 Great Tool

2008-07-20
The Bosh Driver is great and lite when you need to be using it thought out most of the day . I can't say enough about it.

lite weight drill

2008-07-18
Like the drill however advertising states drill 300 3 " screws with one charge......I have 2 batteries and I have never come close to the advertised statement..
Drill is light weight and easy to use but not as powerful nor does the batteries last as long as my ridgid 9.6 drill driver.

Misc

What a great little driver! I had to re-assemble my backyard storage shed over the weekend and I decided to re-build it using screws. I would have typically dragged out my heavy cordless drill and would have been exhaused after several hours of use. I used this little driver and was able to drive in about a hundred 2" and 2 1/2" coated deck screws without any problem! And this little driver is so small and light, I was also able to simply tuck it into the front pocket of my tool belt like it was in a holster. At the end of the day, I realized that it was still in my tool belt for the entire day without even noticing it was there. And the light came it very handy for those screws that were is slightly shaded corners. Overall I would recommend this little driver without hesitatation! Keep up the great work Bosch!!

Good Driver, Good Merchant

The refurbished Bosch PS20-2 is a great driver with plenty of power for my purposes.

The merchant that sold it to me (it was CPO Bosch) responded very well and very promptly when I thought I had a problem. (I was mistaken about the problem. The driver worked perfectly.)

(I did have trouble getting Amazon to forward my concern to CPO Bosch, but this was an Amazon problem, not a CPO Bosch problem.)
