#*# Bosch PS10 2A 12 Volt Max Lithium Ion Impact Driver Kit

I really like my PS10. Others speak of the lack of speed control and I agree. The trigger rests under your fingers and a tight squeeze on the tool will result in a faster drive speed. It is a bit awkward, and control is somewhat difficult, but can be overcome. It is smooth, powerful, and gets in places where other tools have a problem. My only gripe with the tool is the chuck. Insert a quick release shanked bit, release the collar, and the bit will move in and out about 1/8". I also own a Bosch PS20, and it grips the bit very tightly with no movement. The loose bit is not what I expected from Bosch quality, and I was surprised when they told me that this is the way the tool is designed and there is nothing wrong with it! I know they can design a better chuck...they've already done it on other tools! This doesn't affect the way the tool operates, but it is disconcerting to place the bit on the screw and it moves into the chuck a very noticeable amount. Otherwise, I love this and all of my other Bosch tools.

$ Bosch PS10 2A 12 Volt Max Lithium Ion Impact Driver Kit

After reading the other reviews, I felt compelled to chime in.



Some of the folks here are saying that the variable speed doesn't work, but I think that is a matter of hand size- I've been a machinist by trade and home woodworker for over 17 years, and have some giant gorilla paws at this point. My hand fits around the tool comfortably, but I would imagine that many weekend warriors would have a tough time gripping this monster with much control. I found that the variable speed is more than adequate- nothing special, but it works just fine from 0 to full speed if you depress the trigger carefully. I use this thing to ream precision holes and create chamfers in (mostly) medical grade stainless steel, and it's perfect for the application- if it was all or nothing, as some claim, it would not work at all for what I am doing, but does the job extremely capably.



For a "compact" tool, I was surprised at how big it actually is- I was expecting something more akin to the Milwalkee cordless screwdrivers when I ordered it, but it feels more like a drill in the hand, with a grip similar to my DeWalt 18v cordless. And, it's got some weight to it. Both of these things are good for me, but your results may vary.



Fit and finish are superb, and it is everything I've come to expect from Bosch products. Only downside is that I wish I had bought it here, instead of letting the purchasing agent at work buy it from Enco without checking for myself. (The price tag is about $50 lower on Amazon.)
