Strengths: - Articulated head makes getting to screws easier - Can fit in spaces a regular screwdriver can't - Lots of torque (way more than expected) - Fairly light
Weaknesses: - Lowest torque setting not low enough - Speed could be a little faster - Doesn't have a light - Don't like the bag it comes with, you have to lay it down and unzip to get into it. Prefer top access.
Summary: Overall very happy with this driver. Bosch makes great tools, prefer them over everyone except Makita. Can't wait to dive into my first project with it. I would give it 5 stars if it had a light and was a little higher RPM and a little lower torque at the first setting.

Strengths: Quality built product Batteries rock
Weaknesses: A little on the large size
Summary: The feel of the grip and the ergonomics are excellent, as is the pivoting head that gives you the needed flexibility depending on the situation at hand. This item is larger than I thought. But it is quality made. A tremendous tool to have in house. The Bosch line of 10.8v will not be replacing my 18v DeWalt tools but I will be using them less. With the lithium batteries really makes this an attractive package. 4 stars just because it a little larger than I would like.

Strengths: Long battery life and comes with two batteries. Head adjustable to different angles. Powerful driver. It has a quick-change collet.
Weaknesses: A little bulky. It is actually bigger than it looks.
Summary: The variable-speed reversible trigger is nice. You can start the driver at a very low RPM, which is great in small work. It gives you more control than with a hand-held screwdriver. You don’t have the twisting motion of the wrist, which cocks the screwdriver back and forth, losing some contact with the screw. It has eight different torque clutch settings which make it a great driver for small to big jobs. The Litheon batteries are way better than the old kind and lighter too.

Strengths: Pivoting/Articulating head Battery Charge duration.
Weaknesses: Power, clutch Lack of Speed & Torque
Summary: If the tool is used for something it wasn't intended for (like driving lag screws into 4x4's, then it would get 1/2 star.

If it's used for it's intended use, it gets 4.5 stars!

Perfect for areas most other drills cannot get into. (engine compartments, cabinets, sinks, etc. The pivoting head is just beautiful and easy to use.

The drill is lightweight and fits in one hand nicely (and I'm a woman). It's ergonomic and comfortable.

The clutch is not really necessary on this tool. Impact drivers and more powerful screwdrivers, yes.

Not sure about the soft-start. I suppose it's helpful if you are trying to start a screw with one hand??? It's a nice added touch, but not necessary.

I would recommend this tool for the do it yourself-er who loves to get new tools and has a need to get in to tight spaces.

If you need power and a smaller head, I highly recommend the Bosch impact drivers! It's my most used tool. You can use it drill, drive screws, lag bolts, anything... as long as you have all the bit attachments. Reconditioned is just fine. Something like 700-800 lbs of torque.

I guess I'm also a bit disappointed in its speed, however, I'm comparing it to my other Bosch drills... Brute Tough and the impact driver, so maybe that's unfair.

For it's intended use, I give it four stars and would recommend.

Strengths: Light weight, good balance, articulating head
Weaknesses: The body could be just a bit smaller. For a small person or a woman, it may be just a tad too large to handle easily. No hard case, No hard case, No hard case, No hard case, No hard case,
Summary: I like the tool and will use it extensively day to day. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a tool that will perform well, get in a tight spot, or needs to be used one handed.

Strengths: Rugged, well built tool typical of the best of German engineering. Torque, run time and versatility of the drive head is unequalled in today's market.
Weaknesses: A bit heavy for its class but seems inevitable for any robust tool. A bit pricey but you do get what you pay for.
Summary: When I focused on the fact that the advantage of stick style cordless drivers is key to overall usability the field narrows dramatically to various light consumer tools or the true professional class of the Bosch PS-10. Add to this the power of the Lithium-Ion battery (2 come with the kit), a 30 minute quick charger and most importantly the 90 degree selectable drive head and this design easily trumps the convertable, drill-like design of the competitors. It is amazing to get this much versatility in such a compact design but the true fun is when you first use the tool. Sometimes quality and pride in such a selection just shows up as a broad smile with the precision of this unit. One feature I liked on older stick designs was the ability of the unit to lock when not running and let you hand drive the final torque without setting a switch or trading out the tool. This unit performs this feat without problem. Amazing performance for size of the tool and ultra-compact battery pack.

Strengths: Excellent torque and speed control. Short head in angle-position is perfect for tight places. Good rubber grips for handling, and well balanced.
Weaknesses: More expensive than most stick drivers. A little heavy.
Summary: Overall, an excellent driver for the home-craftsman. The 10.8v Ion-Litheon battery provides far superior performance and driving-time between charges, than most stick drivers on the market. Bosch's superior craftsmaship and quality in manufacturing justify its high-price. A great tool!
