BOSCH PS11-102 12V Max 3/8 In. Right Angle Drill/Driver Bare Tool

This drill worked fine with regular drill bits but unable to power auger bits through wood. Smooth variable speed control. Forward and reverse switch conveniently located. A bit heavy but that probably a result of a quality heavy duty drill. I like it.

Great product, quick turnaround

I’m a woodturner, i make wooden bowls on a lathe. Sanding the interior of deep bowls is an awkward task, but this Bosch tool gets down in there and adjusts to 90 degrees for the inner walls of the bowl. Only surprise when it came was how heavy it is. The battery is small (not provided, I already had Bosch tool batteries) so they are not really adding to the tool’s gross weight. Fortunately I am a strong person and the weight is no much of an issue. I like the tool.

I was trying to replace the discontinued iDriver.This is the exact same style but a little longer and heavier. I use it as an electric (screw) driver and it is really great. Being a little heavier (and longer) is a slight annoyance. All in all a very good tool. I keep it in my tool bag always.

Super bulky, heavier than the 12max drill it definitely fatigues the wrist earlier on the multi position clutch doesn’t stay locked into place safely. Love the idea but needs to be a lot more compact and just a tad bit lighter…Otherwise Bosch tools are amazing specially the 12V Max serious takes care of everything I need on my Liveaboard boat and when I’m on tour as a stage manager and band technician.

One review I saw of this product said it would lock in all positions except the straight one. Mine locks in all the positions.It also included a Bosch zipper case with plenty of room for other stuff. I didn't expect that or see it in the listing. I won't be using the case for this drill but I am sure I will find some use for the case.

Compared to other Bosch products, especially the brushless drill/driver, this feels underpowered. It bogs down much too quickly under heavy torque than one would expect. The tilt head is a nice feature, and the trigger is comfortable to use. I found myself using it mostly in the 90 degree position, and was working well despite being underpowered until the motor gave out in what I would describe as a lengthy but moderate drilling session. I'm returning it for refund, and not planning on purchasing a replacement -- instead I'm going to just get a second brushless flexiclick as it has more power and is short enough to get into most places where this drill would have been useful.

I bought it to use with a sanding pad to sand items I’ve turned on my lathe. The multi position head makes it easy to find the right angle I need to sand the pieces. Run time on a 2ah battery is excellent too. I wish it had more torque for driving screws but that’s not my primary use for it anyway. Good tool.
