Bosch Ps20 2 Pocket Driver
The Bosch PS20-2A doesn’t claim to be a full size cordless drill replacement. But once you get your hands on one of these, you may reach for it far more often than your standard cordless drill. Especially for driving screws. The Bosch PS20 is designed to drive, not to drill big holes. If you’re OK with more screwing and less drilling (and who isn’t?), then this is the tool for you!One basic difference between a cordless driver like the PS20 and a standard drill is the chuck.
With the PS20, you’ll need hex ball-detent bits (these are the longer hex bits with a little groove in them). If you plan to use little 1″ or shorter hex bits, you’ll want a separate magnetic bit holder for them. I personally prefer the detent bits over the magnetic bit holder. These longer bits won’t pull out of the tool when you pull them away from screws. I find the magnetic bits constantly get stuck in the fastener and I then have to remove the bit from the screw and plug it back into the holder. The PS20 can also handily drill small pilot holes, but again, you’ll need a hex drill bit, which you may not have handy in your tool box.The PS20 features an 11 position adjustable clutch. This feature is common on many drivers and some drills, and it’s great for making sure you don’t over-torque your fasteners.
If you’re fastening small screws and/or screws into soft wood, dialing in a lower clutch setting will help the tool stop driving before you’ve ripped right through the wood the screw is supposed to be gripping. There’s also a “drill” clutch setting designed for you guessed it – drilling!Like most of Bosch’s 12V Litheon line-up, the PS20 is super compact, and very comfortable to work with. The ergonomics are excellent, and you may find yourself driving screws just for the sheer joy of holding the driver. The Litheon battery system is also great. Most homeowners and even contractors won’t need more than a battery for a typical job. And if you happen to be doing a very driver intensive task, the PS20 comes with a spare battery to swap out.
Charging is also very fast with the included 30 minute portable charger. What I’m trying to say here, is that I don’t think battery life is going to be a problem for you. However if you fall asleep with your finger depressing the trigger, it’s possible it won’t be spinning any more in the morning. I personally engage the handy trigger lock when I take my PS20 to bed. So is the PS20 nothing but power-tool goodness and Bosch teutonic tool joy? I have only two minor complaints:1) The built in LED light. Having an onboard LED is genius, however having it mounted right by the trigger is not quite as geniusy.
Yup, I said “geniusy.” It still sheds enough light to help in dark spots, but the front of the tool winds up casting a large shadow right where you need the most light (by the tip).2) No on-board bit storage. Ok, I know the PS20 is tiny, but I still think Bosch could have made a small recess in the top or or side of the tool for a single bit. Most of us use a flat head and a phillips, and having one stored on the tool would mean you can have your two most frequently used bits readily available right on the tool (one in the bit, the other in on-tool storage). My very old Bosch cordless drill (one of the first cordless models they ever made) had bit storage like this, and I used it constantly.The overall verdict: Don’t throw away your full size cordless drill, but do run out and grab a PS20 (or another driver in the Bosch 12v Litheon driver series)! You can pick up the for just under $100 from Amazon.

Marc grew up under a brave single mom who 'encouraged' home improvement on the family home. Early toddler gifts included a tool set, and even a cordless Bosch drill when cordless drills first came out.
In grade school (give or take a few years), Marc's mom said, 'We need to cut down some trees. Here's a chainsaw.' A father figure also involved Marc in many home improvement projects, including a summer of home remodeling in Palo Alto, CA. Toss in some Obsessive Compulsive personality traits researching everything home improvement related. The end result: a genetically pre-disposed, socially sculpted home improvement machine!

Bosch Ps20 Driver
My wife bought it for me about 4 years ago. I must say that I had my doubts about it at first. But it didn’t take but a couple of long screws to make me a believer. The torque was what really impressed me. And the battery life is pretty impressive too, especially for such a small pack. Charge time is pretty quick, which is nice when you want both battery packs with you on a job.Honestly, for driving screws, this has been my go-to for several years. It’s compact, lightweight and really does get the job done.
This is the only driver I used when I built my gazebo, which required over 1,000 fairly long screws.
