12-Volt Litheon Batteries for Long-Lasting PowerThe 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 ApplicationsSmall 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 AreasWith 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 UseTo 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 GuaranteeThe 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.
What's in the BoxPS10-2A; one carrying case; two 12-volt batteries; one 30-minute charger; and two 1.5-inch drive bits.

Bosch PS10-2A Impact Driver Kit,
August 27, 2008 G.T. (Olympia, WA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bosch PS10-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
I couldn't get my drill into a very tight spot, so I ordered the new Bosch 12 Volt PS10-2A Impact Driver. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. The drill fit into the tight spot and had plenty of power to drill the holes through some pretty tough laminate flooring material and on into the plywood subfloor. I own a Bosch portable table saw and a Bosch sander, and I am also very happy with their performance.

REALLY tried to like it...,
December 27, 2009 This review is from: Bosch PS10-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought this driver over 6 months ago as an "elegant", or so I thought, replacement for my aging Black & Decker Versa Pack driver. I REALLY tried to like this Bosch driver since I bought it, but just can't get there.
PROS:
Multi-angle head
Quick change chuck
Gets in tight places
Uses Li-Ion batteries with fast charge cycles
Comes with 2 batteries so you can keep going
Good balance
Has (effectively) 2 speeds
Has multi torque electronic "clutch" settings
CONS:
Has 2 speeds: fast & too fast
Has 2 torque settings: too much and WAY too much!
After owning other Bosch tools, I bought this with some confidence it would work well. The first one had one speed/torque setting (despite the dial settings): HIGH. I exchanged it for another which had multiple settings as (apparently) designed. These proved to be:
SPEED: The first 10% of the trigger travel immediately invokes the next to highest speed and...Read more

This review is from: Bosch PS10-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Driver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
I'm a professional SAT TV installer and I use this tool everyday for driving/screwing applications. I bought it so I could stop carrying my 18V drill on my tool bet all day, here's my review after 3 months
The GOOD:
It's powerfull enough to handle most driving applications and even some light drilling with an adapter, it has allowed me to reduce the amount of time I carry my full size drill by about 70%, my knees are thanking me it.
Roughly half the weight of my 18V drill (RIDGID X3)
The 5 position head is versatile and make a lot of tasks easier or at least more comfortable.
The batteries last a long time and charge quickly.
Quick change chuck upside is it allows for very fast and simple bit change, using it with a set of magnetic nutdrivers saves a lot of time and effort!
The BAD:
Quick change chuck downside is that the bits have some play in the chuck, althougth they cant fall out, they are not not held...Read more
