Lots of Power
Rating: 5
I bought this impact thinking it would be good for doing small screws like cabinet screws, but I use this for everything. This impact has no problem driving in 3 to 4 inch screws like deck screws. It's lightweight and small enough to fit into a tool pouch.

small and pacs a punch

I have had this little driver now for 6 months and can not be more impressed. I thought I would use it just for quickly removing small screws but this tool will drive and remove large screws from tough hard to reach places. Really packs a punch for its size.

This is a very compact and powerful driver. Easily fits between joists and studs and has enough power in one battery to drill dozens of 5/8" holes for romex thanks to the two speed gear box. The clutch makes the driver great for quickly mounting cover plates without damage. If I only had one it would be this. The only improvement I would make is a battery level meter like the impact driver.

Great drivers, even better support
Rating: 5
At work, I bought this drill driver for installing self-tapping sheet metal screws in ducting and appliance repair. Worked great... bought another & then another. Accidentally dropped one 12' on concrete... still works! Over worked one and it burnt the circuitry. Bosch promptly repaired under warranty & returned. Compact power compared to other small drivers. Tool fits a niche; more finesse than a larger drill/ driver. Still have 18V for big stuff.

Best screw gun yet!
Rating: 5
I've owned this gun for over two years and it's always the first tool I reach for in practically every project around the house. I've yet to find a job it won't do.

GREAT TOOL

GOOD TORQUE, BUT WHY IS THERE NOT A MAGNET IN THE 1/4 CHUCK. THIS IS A SCREW GUN IT SHOULD HOLD THE SCREWS. DO I HAVE A LEMON OR ALL PS 21'S WITHOUT MAGNET

good for crafts, not for work
Rating: 3
Nice driver with needed features but one battery won't power the driver long. If you plan to run a lot of screws or drill & tap a lot of holes then this line of Bosch power drills/drivers is not for you. Poor battery capacity !!! Plan on always charging your next battery while you are working because you'll need it sooner than later. If all you need is a drill for crafting then these will do. They fit the hand well and are nice to use... until they run out of juice.
