Lightweight yet powerful enough for many tasks. If I need to drill concrete, I bring out my hammer drill but for most other tasks this lightweight drill does the job and is a lot easier to handle than my older 19 volt DeWalt drill.

      Good tool
      Over the past 50 years I have done many home projects with all variety of tools. I am happy to have this Bosch drill/driver. For most projects requiring drilling or driving it is the tool to use. Small and light, yet powerful enough.

      The battery sits very tightly in its holder. Taking it out was far too difficult, causing me to return what appeared to be a great litttle tool. It was very comfortable to hold and will fit into small areas. Good tool for strong hands.

      Great handy drill
      Drill of choice. My quality large corded drill is crying to be used. Should come with 2 batteries, at a competitive price.

          What a tool!
          This is a great tool.....probably the best cordless driver I've ever used (not just owned). It's light, yet feels quite solid and balanced in my hand. The chuck spins and locks effortlessly. It has huge amounts of torque for such a small device. The battery seems to never die. It caused me change the way I think about cordless tools, and has made me a Bosch tool customer for life.

            It's freakin awesome!!
            I had this drill before it went brushless. My job requires me to work in an explosive an highly flammable environment. Purchasing this drill saves me hours of manual labor every work day. And the batteries from my old Bocsh drill work with it. Not only did it come with two batteries, I have two spares. It seems to be the lightest most powerful drill on our work sight. Get one you will not regret it.

            Tiny and light weight but extremely powerful
            I already owned the PS22 before getting this drill/driver and completely love it. This is the perfect companion for me and I like that this has the versatility of the 3 jaw chuck and able to clamp round bits up to ⅜" or 10mm. The chuck turns very true and works well even with very small bits. It is very light and when hanging from my belt with it's belt clip I sometimes forget the drill is there. I'm very surprised how much torque this has, now I only get out the 18V tools for truly heavy duty work but 90% of my drilling is tasks are covered by this drill. I really love the clutch and how sensitive it can get for protecting sensitive work. The lightest setting is great for very small fasteners and combined with the great variable speed trigger control it can cover the tasks of a light duty cordless screwdriver. I have used it to drill doorknob holes in wood and metal doors but if I had several to drill I would use an 18V tool. I don't find myself using the highest torque settings with fasteners as it can easily get into the torque range where I feel more comfortable using an impact driver but that is great for drilling holes into metals and harder woods. If someone asked me whether they should get either the PS22 or the PS32 for professional use, I would say, get both.

              Lightweight and powerful
              I've had this drill for about a year. It has a good feel and is lightweight. Great for overhead trim work. It is a nice option when you don't need the bigger drills.

                Best cordless drill I've ever owned
                I bought this drill driver to replace an older version of the tool that had worn out from use. I'm impressed with the new EC motor and how long the tool runs on a single charge. The trigger-activated LED light makes working in cramped spaces easier. The tool is light weight, but powerful enough to handle most of my requirements for drilling and driving fasteners. I just finished a four-month home remodeling job and probably used this drill driver every day. It has been an invaluable addition to my power tool collection.

                  Worked great for 6 months, then died.
                  I have about 10 Bosch power tools in my workshop. I keep buying Bosch because they make great tools. But I feel burned this time. I replaced my old PS31 drill/driver with a news PS32 last year. The newer one was a good upgrade, until it completely stopped working. Sure, it is well within warranty, but I can't find an invoice to prove when and where I bought (never mind that the PS32 hasn't been on the market long enough to be out of warranty). So, all I wound up with that purchase was two new batteries, which are now powering my old Bosch drill and impact driver.

                    Charger quit working
                    I bought this set a little over a year ago and the charger stopped working about two weeks ago. I hardly used it. I may have 4 hrs charging on it. i mostly used the cutter which worked great as long as I can charge the battery.

                      A very value-for-money effective tool
                      I bought the drill / driver in June, and have now been using it for various household work for the last 5 months. We had moved into a new house, and the drill really made our life simple, from assembling furniture, to installing new fittings, and putting up pictures and accessories on the walls. Good power, long battery life, light to hold - everything one would need to small and not so small household chores.

                        ONE IN EACH HAND
                        As it goes I own two of these, one in each hand. While doing instals these are so light weight who wants to change bits, right! So I have one set up with a drill bit and one with a screw bit, what a time saver. The entire 12 volt platform makes it so easy for me to switch out batteries. Although what I find id that the hold a charge the entire project and then some. Absolutely I'd recommend these to anyone, Bosch delivers every time...go get some!

                          Powerhouse!
                          Upgraded from a competitor's 12-volt drill, and I must say that I am impressed with the new brushless line from Bosch. The batteries last and last, and everything stays tidy in the included case, though I would like to upgrade to an L-Boxx at some point. The included bits and belt clip complete this tool to the point where I don't really need to get anything for it for DIY use.

                            Good product
                            I have limited experience with this tool but that experience is favorable. I purchased this tool mainly because of my very favorable experience with an impact driver from Bosch. The size and weight of the tools make them easy to use in my woodworking projects. I also like the battery performance.

                              This small drill has just as much power as an 18volt. The best thing is it's light weight for us veterans in the trade. I have the first blue core 18 volt drill and it works great. Bosch tools are the only tools that I buy. They are simply the best. Awesome customer service. Thanks to everyone at Bosch for making such a quality product.

                                Compact Durable and a Great Value
                                Excellent little driver. Lightweight and powerful for it's size. Batteries last and last. If this one ever wears out I will definitely replace it with another. Would highly recommend for either home or commercial. I work in maintenance and carry this thing with me all over the building. It's also quite durable, it has been dropped from my 6 and 8 foot ladder and has survived no problem.
