Ratings & Reviews for Bosch 12-volt 1/4-in Cordless Impact Driver (Battery Included and Charger Included and Soft Bag included)

Great drill

I am in the HVAC business and this little drill drives screws into furnace's and duct work with ease. It fits in places you can't get a big old 18 volt into. It is so lite that you can work over head without straining your back or shoulders. It drives screws thru metel, wood, composite decking with no effort.This drill goes on every job with me. When this one goes out I will buy another one.

great tool

I am a mechanic at a chrysler dealership and this thing works great for interior work as well as light engine work.I have used it to take intake bolts and oil pan bolts off with no problems.The lights work well when working under dashes.I have the 10.8 volt driver and the batteries and charger interchange with this one.I hope this one is as tough as the ps-20 driver has been The small size is what sold me on this impact driver,it can get into some tight spots. No complaints yet.

Great for screw driving.

This was an impulse Christmas Eve purchase. Wish we had bought it years earlier. this has saved my hands and time. Given slight arthritis in my right hand, this tool has made many nights more comfortable>

Great Power For The Size

I bought this in the combo kit with the driver. I use it constantly at work for removing fasteners. It does struggle with some of the 8mm and 10mm bolts but I have air tools for the bigger stuff. It works great and has decent power. My only con is the impact noise in certain situations, but all electric impacts are like that.

GREAT TOOL

This is the most used tool in my workshop. I recently used it to install >1500 sq. Ft. of Trex decking. The driver sank the 2.5" screws with ease. I'd recommend it to anybody.

So good I don't use my 18volt model any more

I bought this tool in the combo kit with the PS-21. I do use the PS-21 more often, but when I need to drive long screws or into tough material I use the PS-41 because the impact function takes all the torque off of me and keeps the bit in the screw head so that they don't strip out. I also use it alot with sockets when putting together or taking apart equipment. For the jobs I do it has the power needed so I don't use my yellow 18volt impact driver any more. The Bosch fits in my tool belt and th...

Best little Impact driver I have used

My electrician friend was helping me with a project, when he used his Bosch PS 41 Impact driver..I used it and was so surprised at its power...durability. I had to get one myself...had it for 2 years now, and am so happy to not lug out my 18v for most projects....Highly recommend!

Better than air

I have used this driver over a year now. It has work better than my air drivers , much lighter, the clutch has made it a winner in my book. Getting ready to get a 18 volt. No more air for me!

Great tool to have around

This compact impact driver is a great little tool to have around the garage. It has tackled almost everything I have thrown at it. The compact size allows you to get into those tight spots with ease. It's light weight body and battery won't tire out your arms when working overhead and its the perfect size for kids when they want to help. My only complaint is the lack of some sort of belt clip, hanger or holster. Its a little too big to fit in my pocket, so when I am working overhead, I need som...

power in a small package

I've had the 10 V version of this tool for 2 years now, and it is one of my favorite tools. I've had 2 other impact drivers (brand names not mentioned) but Bosch is by far my goto tool. Why? Because it has the power to drive screws without stripping them out, the batteries last pretty well, and they charge quickly. Probably more than anything I like the size of the tool. Light weight, and fits in small places. I know that when I can no longer find the 10 V batteries, I will buy the 12V version.

Best-in-class

I, like many others, own several impact drivers. I have several that are of the 18v variety, and they are unstoppable. This one, for being so compact and running off of only 12v, has plenty of power to get the job done. I have tried a couple other brands in the same size class, and this one beats them all. The weight is perfect, balance is excellent, ergonomics are perfect for my hands, and the battery charge longevity is outstanding. Again, this review is based on our current technological leve...

Very capable

I have used this for work on projects requiring me to tighten or loosen up to 3/8 inch bolts that are torqued down with vibration resistant fasteners and also just built a deck where I used it for everything from driving deck screws to installing 5/16" lag screws. It has easily handled everything I have tried thus far and I am very pleased.

Good product

It has driven everything I've thrown at it so far. The only problem is motor tends to overheat after a while so it stops driving until it cools down.

Where have you been all my life...

powerful with great run time.. absolutely nothing negative to say about this tool..

Great Tool for Anyone

My only complaint is the trigger. When you first pull it there is a slight hesitation before it reacts. Under most circumstances this is not a problem, but I am a mechanic and when trying to break loose a stuck bolt, the quicker it turns on, the more effective the torque is. Besides this I love the impact. It is the perfect size for fitting in hard to reach spaces. The impact allows you to take flat blade, Phillips, Allen, and other fasteners loose that a normal screwdriver or wrench may round o...

Worth every cent paid for it.

Has paid for itself several times over. When a bolt/nut/screw just does not want to come out - this driver will make it comply. Compact - yet powerful. I love its compactness and compatibility with my other Bosch 12 volt tools. Placement of the LED lights (3) are perfect.

Compact, Lightweight, Powerful

This impact driver is great. I had a remodel job recently and was installing metal shelving that used narrow plastic drawers to store different bolts & fasteners at a retail store. To install them I had to use self-drilling sheet metal screws that had to be placed in the back of the shelves. The small size of the impact driver made it easy to drive in the screws where most other drills would not even fit. The impact driver drove the wafer head screws with ease.

great for tight spaces

i have this tool and all i can say it is great for tight spaces will not replace your larger tools but can be a job saver when you have to get into a tight area

THE BEST TOOL EVER CREATED IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

I have had my hands on many, MANY cordless drill/driver and impact drivers in my day. The Bosch 12V cordless impact driver is the most incredible cordless drill I have ever had the pleasure to use and own! NOT ONLY is it super light, which is great for overhead and repeated use, but it is the most versatile of all the drills. When I bought the PS41-2A around Christmas of last year, I was already certain I was going to be buying a Bosch, because of their phenomenal reviews I read online. After pu...

Lightweight and dependable

It is a great tool. Lightweight, but powerful. I also have a ps31 so it nice to have 2 tools that use th same battery.
