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
Rating: 5
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.

Durable drill
Rating: 5
Once I recieved my drill I read over the instructions and began charging one of the batteries. The first thing I noticed was something I had never seen before, a "damage" indicator. It lets you know if the battery is damaged so it takes the guess work out of reasons why the battery wouldn't be charging. In a short time the indicator said it was ready to use. My first project was to hang a couple of fire extinguishers I had sitting around because all I had was a heavy cord drill. The screws went in with ease. The drill is very lightweight, quiet and yet powerful. This is a great addition to my power tool collection. And don't forget you don't have to wait for the battery to charge, because it comes with a spare!

This is a great drill
Rating: 5
This drill works really well and fast. It has a brushless motor which causes it to be able to run for a really long time. It is light weight and relatively compact so it fits into tight corners which is helpful when trying to fix things around the house. It runs for a long time . It uses 2 Lithium ion batteries which are included in the box. It also comes with a charger. Overall, it's a great drill for a house owner to have to be able to fix things and do simple building projects.

So easy to use
Rating: 5
I am deathly afraid of power tools of any kind so me using a drill was a surpise to me and everyone else. I was so afraid to use it, but it was easier to use than I expected. The drill bits from were easy to find and purchase for drilling (It only comes with the screwdriver bit) but the bits aren't expensive, and I just needed to hang curtain rods so it wasn't major (boyfriend went overboard and bought lots). Two batteries are awesome. I heard the drill going for a while in back when they were fixing the gutters. Now we don't have to borrow the neighbor's anymore. Recharging is easy and doesn't take very long. Neighbor is a construction worker and he loves it, he didn't want to give it back. I'd say that is a positive recommendation for it in my book any day.

Five Stars
Rating: 5
Every carpenter I have seen at the renovation at my home had this brand. The grips felt good in my hand giving me a good grip on the drill. Really enjoy this drill. Light, strong, and very user friendly. Excellent tool. Well made. Very powerful. The batteries last long between charges. It is driven by a brushless motor. Very smooth and efficient.Great drill. I use this drill constantly in the winter with roto brushes when tuning race skis. The two included batteries allows for continual use. Good power and speed. The power control is excellent. It can carefully and slowly rotate with precision or drill away at high speed. I used the drill to build furniture, drill holes in walls, etc. Came with 2 batteries and a nice charger that shows when a battery is full. The LED built into the drill body is pretty bright. Definitely adequate to see what you are drilling even in total darkness. Adds a nice additional amount of light even when working in daylight that helps in shadows. Over all I am very pleased with the drill. More than enough power to get the job done for household stuff. Battery lasts for a long time. I charge it after using I for a dozen little jobs.Easy to operate and get the job done. I highly recommended this product

I am always nervous about limited torque in a cordless drill. This one has plenty of torque and was really easy to see up and charge. The unit is lightweight and sturdy. I also appreciate how quickly it chatges.

I used to use corded Porter Cable products years ago and they never failed me. I am now upgrading my power tools to the recent line of 20v Porter Cable. This driver is by far much better than expected and so far I'm going on 3 weeks on a single charge, (20V 4Ah battery). Great job Porter Cable.

Good drill for the diy
Rating: 4
I have several porter cable drills and this one is just as good in performance. The battery that comes with it is smaller than the other drills I have but it is brushless and seems to have more power. The 2 speed and torque settings are good and the keyless check works well. The battery life is good. The only thing I would like to have on it is a battery level indicator. Great product.
