  • Litheon batteries for long-lasting performance.
  • Articulating head locks in 5 positions.
  • Electronic clutch for versatility.
  • Ergonomic design to minimize user fatigue.


The first professional tool to rotate 90 degrees. View larger.

Compact body and rotating head let you access hard-to-reach areas.
12-Volt Litheon Batteries for Long-Lasting Power
The 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 Applications
Small 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 Areas
With 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 Use
To 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 Guarantee
The 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.

5 out of 5 stars 5 for its niche use   July 21, 2010
MussSyke
I'm giving this a five because it's a quality product that does what it is expected to do very well.

I actually think it would have been better with a chuck because quick-lock drill bits are not as common as quick-lock drivers, and I would only use this device (over my other Bosch drill and drivers) when I need it for its ability to fit into tight areas. And when I need that ability, I often need to both drill and then drive. A chuck probably would've added length, however.

This makes fantastic company for the 12vMax drill/impact driver set, FYI. And if you get the drill/impact driver/light set (or similar) with two batteries, the two batteries with this give you a battery for each device. Also, you can have one charger in your shop and one in the bag for the road.

I find the torque switch does function right. It doesn't noticably reduce speed, which is probably what some people are expecting, but you'll see it works if you try to drill in wood or tighten down a fastener. You can reduce speed by pressing the switch lighter.

I like this line of tools for my daily drilling/driving needs, but I'd start with the drill/impact driver set; those are also very small and will fit in tight spaces. Then you just need a big corded hammer drill and this to handle anything that needs crazy power or to fit in a tiny space, respectively.

It doesn't have enough torque to drive a 3 inch deck screw in to fir without a pilot hole.


4 out of 5 stars shaves weight off the tool belt   June 27, 2010

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 firmly in the tool

The play in the chuck makes drilling unstable and imprecise, it cannot remplace a drill at all for making holes bigger than 1/4inch.

The driver only starts turning after you have pressed through the first 1/4inch of travel of the trigger, which makes using the variable speed a bit akward at first and requires some getting used to, but it's quite precise once you get the hang of it. You may strip out screw holes EASILY if you try to learn this while driving screws in soft materials like cabinets.

The useless hanging pin keeps getting in the way, I removed it on the second day. thankfully it is not permenantly attached to the tool



Overall I accomplished my goal of reducing the weight of my tool belt, this tool is not perfect but still VERY, VERY usefull.



5 out of 5 stars Fantastic tool fro around the house   June 24, 2010
Keith L. Mcgovern (Bristow, VA USA)
This power screwdriver has tons of torque! I purchased this screwdriver for the house to be able to get into tight spaces or use it like a normal power screw driver. The kit comes complete with two batteries, charger, tips, and bag. The product appears to be extremely durable.
What a great price that will cut down the time of time consuming jobs.



4 out of 5 stars PS10 is a workhorse...but   June 11, 2010
John N. Ware
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.
