Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This Bosch PS10-2A-RT 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Impact Driver Kit is a factory-reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new conditions. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. 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-RT 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most powerful and slim fit driver that I ever had, July 12, 2009

By	Claudio Ferreira Arakaki "Claudio Arakaki" (Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

By the time I unpacked I got surprises. It comes with 2 batteries and a 30 minute charger. I wondered: Never more I'll be frustrated about my driver battery is discharged!

The sound it produces is impressive. Is up to its own power. By now I never found any hex bolt up to 1/2" that I could not screw in and out.

The only complain that I have is about its clutch. I could not find a perfect setup to work with MDP or plastic. Or the screw gets too deep and damage the material or does not go all the way.

Bottom line, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I'm a service technician and always debated whether or not to use a tool like this or stick with trusty hand tools.
Pros:
-angled head makes this a truly useful tool for me. the equipment I work on makes this feature essential.
- Loads of torque, which if you're careful about not over-driving your fasteners, makes it usable versus most others
- batteries go on and on before needing charging
- variable speed control

cons:
- its big and hefty. probably needed for such a powerful and heavy-duty design, but it takes up a lot of room in the tool bag and it is more "involved" to use (swapping bits, adjusting the swivel, etc)
- this baby is so strong it will wrench itself out of your hand if you're not careful
- for drilling its less useful due to the relatively low rpm. remember smaller diameter bits require higher rpms. drilling with this is strictly on a convenience basis. If you expect top drilling performance you'll need to stick with your proven peformer. but it is nice to carry drilling capability in my tool bag.

By the way, mine is the reversible drill, not an Impact-Driver in the item description above. The picture is correct though. Overall, I'm glad I bought it and I'm being patient enough to get used to using it to its fullest. Good luck.
