Hello there tool shopper,

This drill and impact driver combo set replaces my aging Makita 6914D 12V impact driver. I bought that tool in 2003 and it has been nothing but reliable and until now was by far the most used tool I own. This year the batteries’ working time is down to 10 or 15 minutes making the tool usable but annoying with the constant battery swapping. I shopped around and after looking through new Bosch, Makita, Milwaukee, Hitachi and Rigid I settled on this Bosch combo kit.

I’m impressed by the compact size and substantial power of these tiny Bosch drivers. The impact driver advertises slightly higher RPMs and torque than my old Makita and is substantially smaller and lighter. By comparison the body and battery profile of the 6914D looks and feels like the new 18v drivers and is much bigger than this pair of 12v Bosch drivers. I always thought of my Makita unit as small and maneuverable; it’s the only drill driver unit I ever used on a job or around the house. It was much much smaller than drills of its time and until now I never saw it as larger compared to other tools. Man, these two are shorter in height and length by sever inches. Any smaller and you couldn’t call it hand held because you couldn’t close your fingers around the handle!

I thought about buying just an impact driver, however the price for the driver and batteries was so close to the price of the one tool kit it was worth it to me to have the drill around even if it won’t get much use. I already have a removable chuck so not having one built into the drill is preferable for me. I can attach the chuck to either tool as needed and not bring a second tool along if it suits to just pack one for a job. There are times when the banging of the hammer and anvil in the impact driver was a bit much, mostly working in tight closed spaces like basements or outside where I could be bothering the neighbors. It will be nice to have a drill for times like that if the extra torque isn’t required. So, why not?

The tools are remarkably small and feel very balanced in the hand. They both spin true and I like the rubber grip and bumpers on the sides of the tools. I can lay them any which way and not worry about beating up what I just laid them on. They will balance standing up on the battery pack like my old Makita but I would not suggest it on the job. I mention it b/c that is just how they feel when you hold them, nice and balanced. I lay mine on their side when working.

You are probably wondering “Why not get the bigger 18v tools?” For me it is because only once in 12 years was I not able to drive what I trying to drive w 12v. I sistered a dozen 2×10’s with glue and dozens of 4″ #10 Spax and the Makita never missed a beat, even with the aging batteries. This includes using it to take the wheels off the car for brake jobs over the years. The only thing I couldn’t drive with the old 12v was an 6″ lag into an old treated 4×4. I seated it with a wrench and that was that. I should have prevailed the hole, but I didn’t and it still worked out fine. The impact driver in this kit is advertised a little more torque than my old tool so unless manufacturer’s figured out how to fudge their specs last week I’m betting this one will do the same job as the last if not a little better. So far that’s been true for me, and from what I read in other reviews it’s been true for other builders too.

For me 12v is plenty, so I spent the extra money on another tool (the reciprocating saw) instead of investing it in extra power for the odd times I might want it. If I’m driving big lags and I have trouble with the last inch I don’t mind getting out a wrench to finish them off. Call me cheap but those 18v batteries cost quite a bit more to replace. I like the no-memory Li-Ion batteries but I’ve had enough laptops to know they only have so many charge cycles and they last just about as long as the warranty. I’m betting on replacing them or buying an extra before I trade up tools so 12v feels like the way to go.

Just about any tool from the big names will do the job you ask of it so I suggest you get the tool(s) you like using. You’re going to be looking at it a lot, if you don’t like looking at it you should at least be indifferent towards it. Why own a tool you don’t use, and why use a tool you don’t like? I like things that make my work easier and don’t cost a fortune, and I like these tools quite a lot. For me these are great to look at and have the combination of power and features that suit my needs.

Happy tool hunting.

This is my first set of power tools! Bosch makes a great product for a good price. I like these because they’re small, light, and powerful. Perfect for the home and garden, diy, home and garden bed, deck repairs. And for whatever else happens!

This is a great combo set to own and a great value over purchasing them separately. I did a lot of reasearch and this is the best deal for what I need. I burned out my old (6 year) black&decker 18v drill. I don’t do a lot of construction, just need for around the house and projects here and there. This set is designed nicely and the compact feel is great for accessing tight areas. The light is better on the impact and it has a fuel gauge, the driver does not. These Bosch models have the best torque in their class, I compared to makita and others in 12V. The charger works as advertised and charges in 30 minutes. I haven’t used the tools enough to test the time until battery is drained. But it is nice to have 2 batteries. I have one small complaint, and it is not exactly Bosch’s fault.

Both tools accept the hex shank bits and it is very easy to switch out bits out. However my one small complaint is that if you use the hex shank drill bits, the bit will wobble because the shank is not “bitten” down on like a traditional chuck with the 3-teeth. This is not really a Bosch design flaw, but just they way these are made to switch out bits faster. So the driver is not the ideal drill option for tasks that require accurate drilling. For rough jobs, yes you can use the hex shank drill bits and PS21. I decided to also purchase the Bosch PS31B 12V drill, it is sold cheap at $60 for the tool alone with no battery. The PS31 is a traditional drill with the twist chuck that grips the bit and it can accept the same 12V battery from the PS21 & PS41. It works just as awesome as the other tools. I now have a set of 3 tools to tackle any job. Also, the case will hold the other drill also but just no room for the charger but that is ok by me. I have had no issues so far, and now looking for more projects to use them on!
