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!

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.

Perfect drill and great value. Excellent backup for my other metabo cordless. Small enough to take anywhere and ready when you need it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

WH18DBFL2QB 18V Lithium Ion Brushless Impact Drive
Rating: 5
I bought this brushless impact driver on the fly while engaged in a DIY project. I spent some time at the store, with a sales associate, who went through all the features of this product. I bought it, came back home with my new impact driver, and soon got to work where I had left off with my project. I didn't even have to charge the battery, it was ready to go. Operating this amazing driver was absolutely effortless. Terrific product. Five stars all the way!

Great product
Rating: 5
My old drill was getting pretty worn out and tired. It would not even push a drywall screw the sheet into a 2x4.. i decided to try an impact driver for the 1st time after research i decided on the Metabo HPT driver. I am glad i did. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Real World Super Strength

Really powerful and very small. As good as the DeWalt or Milwaukee I'm real world usage. I've taken 3 crankshaft bolts out with it already, without locking up the flywheel. This thing is a beast.

A Must Have Impact Driver
Rating: 5
I love this impact driver!!! It has all the torque I need to rip apart my motorcycle in a few minutes as well as hang pictures on the wall for my wife. its easy to use, light and has the power to do just about everything at prices better than Dewalt and Bosch with the same torque numbers. Great job Metabo [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Solid Tool
Rating: 4
Guy at work had a hitachi driver (5+ years old) and i picked up the now metabo one. Its worked good for me and i havent even needed to recharge the battery out of the box. The tool has an unbeatable warranty and price and i would recommend it based off my experience so far. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
