Description of Bosch PS20-2 Litheon 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver with 2 BatteriesForty-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. This driver would look more at home on a Fisher-Price workbench than anywhere else, but its looks are completely deceiving. It's tiny, it's light as a feather (less than 2 pounds including the battery!), but we promise, it packs power you won't believe. Bosch fuels it with "litheon," which the company calls "the industry's most advanced lithium-ion battery technology." We can attest that there's absolutely no lag in power even when the battery's about to hit empty, and the run time is very impressive, driving literally hundreds of screws before needing a quick charge. It's rare that we come across a tool that would suit everyone, right across the board, but this is definitely one. Carpenters, remodelers, cabinet makers, builders, hobbyists, homeowners, crafters, RVers, weekend warriors and, dare we say, your mom, will come to find this little driver indispensable.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste What's in the Box PS20 Litheon 10.8-volt Pocket Driver, two batteries, 30-minute charger, soft carrying case, two bits
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch PS20-2 Litheon 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver with 2 BatteriesCustomer Review: Special Ops Tool Summary: 5 StarsThis tool is obviously not suitable for every job you could do with a cordless drill/driver, but for a power tool you hardly know you are carrying, it excels at many light drilling/driving tasks. It would not do as your only cordless drill/driver, nor do I think Bosch intended it to fill that role. This tool of necessity has a low speed for higher torque trade off, so if you need to drive a lot of big screws fast, or drill a lot of holes fast, use your bigger drivers, this is your putter. For some jobs I do, like installing many pieces of cabinet hardware, or pulling down countertops to cabinets this tool is perfect, especially with the bright little light (which you can use as just a flashlight with partial trigger pressure). If you doubt that Bosch has created a whole new tool category, notice the imitators lining up to knock off this well designed tool, with Milwaukee and Hitachi coming out with similar "sub-compacts."
