Good tool
Rating: 5
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.

Tiny and light weight but extremely powerful
Rating: 5
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.

Love German engineering
Rating: 5
I really like Bosch engineering. So I bought this because of that and it was such a good deal. I ended up returning the drill because it was a bit under powered for me. I have other drills that are 18V and 20 V. I hadn't realized how much that added for me, since my hand and arm strength are not as strong as I would like. I plan to buy the same Bosch drill but the new 18V model.

Good tool, light and handy

I bought this tool because I need a compact drill-driver to work on my boat, in tight spaces, and while up the mast. I have a large 18v drill that has worked for 10 years, but it is too large for some projects, and I am afraid to haul it up a mast. I have used this drill several times, now, and it is very nice. The motor is smooth, it has LOTS of power, and it is easy to control. The chuck works nicely, with no hiccups. I am not sure about the bit holder - I have already had one bit fall out, but I did not lose it. The belt clip is nice, but I think I will modify it to make it easier to clip onto a line. The light will be useful when working inside the boat. The small bit holder is very nice to get into tight places. One big adjustment, compared to the big drill is that this drill has a LOT of torque, and is light weight, so if you catch a drill bit or a tap, it is very easy to twist the bit and break it. You have to take it easy and slow when you are using a combined drill-tap, or you WILL break at least one bit. I have broken two, so far. No feeling for how long the battery will last, but it should be satisfactory for my tasks. I also like the fact that it is not possible to sit the drill up on its battery, where it would be liable to fall over and be damaged. Good design.

Love my PS32 Drill
Rating: 5
I own the Bosch PS22 hex drive/drill, but when I found the PS32, couldn't pass it up. I LOVE it, there is anything not to like about this drill. Holds bits very well. Easy to use, easy to change batteries (if you can remember where the charger is since it's been so long since you had to charge it), easy to reverse, and love the LED light to help in poorly lit places.

Fantastic Small Drill
Rating: 5
The Bosch PS32 is a fantastic tool that's perfect for lite duty applications. The quality of build is excellent all around, and the brushless motor affords meaningful extension to battery life between recharges. The PS32 is right up there with the best of the Bosch 12v product line, and you won't regret adding this to your tool arsenal.

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.

What a tool!
Rating: 5
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.

Powerful drill for the price and size, quite happy

SO far so good with this drill! Love the size of the tool, it is perfect for apartment living. Powerful, was able to drill multiple holes in wood and dry wall for an audio installation project on one battery with plenty of power to spare.

amazing drill
Rating: 5
We got this a while ago and it is the best set of power tools I've ever used (because my old one was a 14v nicad black and decker that smoked when it ran). Long runtime with those batteries. Fast, powerful, light, and useful. This is the best drill ever. Much better than Ryobi 18v 1+hp. Summary: Best. Drill. Ever.

Guaranteed DeWalt Quality
Rating: 5
I recently purchased this combo kit to add on to my existing brushless set from 3 years ago. The hammer drill option and metal chuck are great features as well as the multi 3 speeds on the impact driver. Both have excellent power, build quality and the 4 amp battery is a plus. I would highly recommend this set for anyone in the construction field or even the homeowner for any project they could come up with. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

It'll Surprise You
Rating: 5
Bought the combo about 6 months ago and have used it on projects continuously. It's shocking how strong the combo impact drill driver is, massive upgrade from my old one. 4ah battery lasts a long time. Put a forstner bit in this thing and it will eat through all manner of hardwoods. I also recommend using the the detachable handle or really bracing when using larger diameter bits, I'll only make that mistake once. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Powerful combo kit!

My husband surprised me with this set! I am in love with the hammer drill and my impact driver. I also believe the DEWALT bits to go with are very long lasting. Completely satisfied with this purchase. The batteries 20V, work amazing and hold their charge! I love how compact these are and very steady!

Solid drill for the everyday grind
Rating: 5
i have had this set since july 2019 and install solar panel systems almost every day of the week. To say the least these things take quite a beating up on the roof all day drilling out trusses and lagging bolts. I do take the best care of them that i can, and havent needed any maintenance or fixes done on either drill. But this week my driver chuck seized up to where its impossible to tighten fully and doing so takes channel locks, so i will be taking them in for yearly maintenance soon. HOWEVER everything is working perfectly on the drill so its still usable but its a pain. 10 out of 10 would recommend for the everyday on the job use. Batteries are still going strong, charger still charges.

The next level of pro tools!
Rating: 5
I bought this as my old drill (other brand) was getting rather tired and the batteries were starting to fail. I've always wanted a DeWalt setup becuase of their known efficiency, power and overall value. I've been EXTREMELY impressed with this setup! The small impact driver with the chuck is quick and lightweight, the hammer drill is just a monster! Love them both! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Good deal!
Rating: 5
About a year ago I needed to replace a battery for my 10+ year old Dewalt drill. Instead I decided it was time to just upgrade to a new drill. I saw this combo and was sold. Both drills have plenty of power, and both have a built in light. I love the quick connect on the impact driver. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Durable, Powerful, Must-Have
Rating: 5
I bought this set a while back, and it has done wonders since. These tools have survived 20+ feet falls, storms, wear and tear, and have proven to be a very smart purchase. They are a must have for DIY'ers as well as people in the trades. Highly recommend. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
