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
Rating: 5
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.

metal siding
Rating: 5
purchased this particular screw gun while building my workshop. used for all the metal roofing, siding, and trim. it made hanging panels so much easier and didnt overdrive a single screw. have a brushless impact also but this was so handy in place of setting by feel with the impact driver. will be using for all other building projects [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

BEST METAL ROOF SCREWGUN! HANDS DOWN
Rating: 5
I bought one for metal roofing about two years ago, used it for about a week and ordered a second. I just bought another about six months ago and use all three every week. Someone stole about $3,000 of my DeWalt tools last night and I'm ordering 3 more of these now.

Excellent tool
Rating: 5
Have had a pair of these for over a year. I'm a metal building contractor and not having to drag an extension cord around is a game changer.

It works great
Rating: 4
I'm usually the guy screwing everything up in the roof for my crew, so this really makes a difference. No more dragging or fighting the extension cords. I can drive around 600 self tapers with the5ha battery on a 14 ga tubing. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Failing after a few months
Rating: 1
I bought this in January right after the new year. By the end of March it started slipping when I set screws. I love DeWalt products but 3 of the brushless tools I have purchased this year have failed or in the process of failing. What's going on? I've used DeWalt in the commercial trades for 12 years and have never had these problems.
