Bosch Chameleon 12V Cordless Drill Kit w/ 40-piece Bit Set

Solid Five Stars!

I gave this drill the only 4-Star rating a year ago (all others are 5’s). I still stand by that review because of the trigger that literally fell off when I used it. But since I received a replacement that I have now been using for over 14 months, I thought I would review this one. If I don’t consider price, this really is probably only second in its class to a direct competitor that rhymes with “cool”. All things considered (including even full price), I think it is the best installation drill/...

Excellent, all-purpose tool

I am a woodworker heavily invested in the yellow brand of tools, but wanted something small and light to help with finessing fasteners, odd locations, and installation. My impact driver is way too powerful for most woodworking tasks and is more of a construction tool. I tried the red brand installation driver because everyone raves about it. Out of the box, the bearing made an odd rolling noise once you let go of the trigger (apparently very common per a google search) giving me little confidenc...

An Excellent Drill Driver

I was looking for a small drill driver that can perform multiple tasks without the need for different tools. FYI, i am on yellow and red brand battery platforms. I try to buy best tools in their class. Bought the yellow brand installation driver since most of my batteries are 12v. Tried it, too big, almost the size of a 20v tool. Bought the red brand installation driver since got the batteries also. Tried it, its a weird tool, not comfortable in the hand at all and not much power. Did not hav...

Like the small size.

Perfect just right. Not too weak or strong and small enough to get into tight places. . I bought one 3 years ago. Still going strong. Ordered another one. Getting hard to find.

Versatile and compact

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review was submitted as an entry for a review sweepstakes. Usually do everything with my 18V Bosch tools, however there are just those couple of projects that you just cant get to a screw or drilling a hole. Recently ran into one of those projects and had always seen this set at the local store, and finally bought it a few weeks ago, and its awesome! The swapping of attachments is really easy, and with all ones they have, I've been able...

Perfect Sidekick

I got this to do those jobs around the house that I couldn't get to with my other 18v Bosch and 20v Dewalt drills. I love the interchangeable bits used for cabinetry work/windows and the regular job of putting curtains around the house. It has a nice weight to it and (for me) felt the best compared to some other 12v drills. Small enough to get into awkward corners/small spaces but still feels like you have a tool in your hand, not a toy drill. I haven't used it for heavy-duty work because I alre...

Flexiclick 5 in 1 is a problem solver!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this set for over 3 years now. The ability to change between adjustable chuck, 1/4” hex quick change, and 1/4” hex offset quick change is amazing. Add the 90 degree adapter in front of any of the attachments, and this gets the drill into the tightest spaces. Drilling between studs and inside electrical enclosures is much easier with this tool. The battery has good life, and the drill has enough torques to use with paddle bits up...

Excellent tool, great precision and power!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't need this tool. I already have a competitor's variant that does the exact same functionality, but I decided to keep it because it's got a lot of great features and excellent build quality. I'm not a fan of fat grips but the way this one is sculpted is comfortable. This unit is very compact even with the 1/4 locking hex. The release mechanism might be opposite of many others but it's not a big deal. It's a lot more slender than competing...

One of the best 12V tools

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bosch really should push more out on their 12v line and the Max Flexi-click should lead that charge. This is one of the best options for a installation drill/driver on the market. It’s attachment system is stellar, the power is great and the versatility is top notch. My only gripe is that is a stick style pack which makes the handle a little to thick for my tastes and makes the tool unable to stand up on its own. Other than those two minor deta...

CHAMELEON

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this multipurpose tool several months back and is my go to DIY tool around the house and doing odd jobs for friends. Contains a chuck, an offsetting quick change bit holder for those under the cabinet screws you need to awkwardly get at. There is a 90• chuck that can be rotated at different angles. And a quick change bit holder available on the end of the tool when none of the attachments are being used. I like this tool so well I bought...
