Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-09 Summary: Great tool ... I purchased this jigsaw about a year ago to make a large project from 3/4" plywood. I was easily able to make any cut I needed. It performs very well with Bosch blades that are appropriate to the material. I would definitely recommend this tool to anybody. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-21 Summary: Wow! ... This saw rocks! I bought it to cut decorative ends in some framing lumber for an outdoor project. Material changed to pressure treated during the planning stage. I was amazed at how effortlessly it made the cuts. The saw is on the heavy side, which I found to be a benefit. It helped dampen vibration. The blower didn't keep up with the wet pt saw dust, but that didn't surprise me. Only downside (if you can call it that) was that I pulled the saw out of a curve I was making and the blade hit the board so hard, it actually ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-14 Summary: Great tool!!!! ... This saw really delivers. Plenty of power, even when cutting treated 2x6. Works great for decorative rafter tails on the pergolas we build. We really like the barrel grip. It really puts your hand in a good position for controlled cutting. Low vibration is also impressive. It doesn't leave your hand feeling numb, even after 30 min. of use. A great tool to add to your arsenal. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-18 Summary: Best tool in my garage... and I have a lot of tools! ... I honestly do not know what I'd do without this jig saw. I've always hated jig saws, proabably due to ones I've owned in the past that have been terrible. With the right blades and settings, this jigsaw is one of the most versatile tools I've ever owned. I've used it to trim laminate flooring (laminate blade), cut through plywood (rough wood blade), trim fencing (fine cut wood blade), and many other items. It is very natural to hold in almost any position needed. The only downside is that it could be too heavy for ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-16 Summary: A pleasure to use ... I used to be a union carpenter, 22 years, but got into other business for a dozen years or so. Back in the day the Bosch jig saw was all that we used. I did all comercial work, a lot of metal cutting. The Bosch would cut steel raised floor panels all day long without a wimper. After My dozen years in the Tavern business I am back doing construction, handyman type things. Not necessarily real small jobs, but certainly diverse. A couple of years ago I bought a Bosch knock-off jig saw made by Grizzly. Not a bad saw for ...more

[2] ... Amazon.com | When we first heard of barrel grip jig saws, we were pretty skeptical about the comfort and control they could offer, since we were so accustomed to the typical top-handle design. It really was a genuine surprise to feel the difference. The control is amazing, and cutting scrollwork is an absolute delight with this saw, something we can't honestly say about most top-handle models. With this design, it almost feels as if the cutter is an extension of your hand, smooth and responsive. The blade-change...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-09 Summary: Great kit ... I bought this with a Bosch PS40. Everithing that is inside is very useful (I bought it for use around the house). I am very pleased with the quality of the bits/drills/... and of the case. One mention: the conversion chuck does not fit the PS40, but you don't really need it since all bits/drills/... fit in the screwdriver. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-02 Summary: NOT for the small Bosch Li-on Drivers ... Disappointed, because Amazon recommended this to go with the Li-on driver, but it doesn't fit that driver at all. I kept it, because it's good for use in another cordless drill. Just not in the Bosch drivers. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-08 Summary: Not as useful as it could have been ... Being new to the Clic-Change world of Bosch, since I bought one of those drivers here at Amazon, I did not have a collection of the bits and such that fit those tools. I bought this set thinking that, good, it has all this stuff and the case will keep it together. Well, seventeen of the pieces are just those little one-inch bits you can find in jars on the counter of any hardware store. They fit into a magnetic holder, another very inexpensive item you probably already have. There are no useful longer length bits for ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-26 Summary: Perfect for PS20 ... Decent starter set but even for a light user such as myself there were not enough drill bit sizes, I had to purchase a full drill bit set as well. The clic change adapter doesnt seem to hold a bit as tight as the drill chuck but it is convenient when needed. With the exception of the adapter I think this set would compliment the Bosch PS20 better since all the accessories are hex shank. If you have a drill with a standard chuck I would recommend getting the Bosch TI118 set instead and buying the magnetic extension ...more

But Amazon suggests you get the Bosch Clik-Lock set along with this. However, that does not fit this tool at all. They SHOULD correct this error. I kept the clik-lock set, because it's nice and I can use it in another cordless drill I have -- just not in these Li-on Bosch drivers. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-16 Summary: The best little cordless power tool! ... Everyone at work has an impact driver, diverse in brands, I chose the Bosch 10.8 impactor, because I already have the 10.8 adjustable driver(not the pocket driver that looks similar to the impactor). It uses the same battery, and it's small. I have shoulder and elbow issues, so when I need to do anything overhead, it's a bonus, because it's light and I can use my long extension bits to also help with hard to get to places. Like any battery though, they like to be warm, so if it is cold at night and I leave them in ...more

So I bought this PS40. I don't have it for a long time, but I am very happy with it. Around the house is everithing I need. I also bought a set of bits/drills/..

I bought my first Bosch Colt when they first came on the market and have used it extensively in my home shop and hobby woodworking projects. I particularly like it for easing edges on various handyman jobs and furniture projects I have built. I bought a second one recently because I was away from home and needed a router for a custom kitchen counter we were installing. I had always wanted the full kit for the different bases offered with the full kit. I was not disappointed. It did everything I needed it to do and ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-30 Summary: nice quality tool. ... Very handy litte tool. Comes in a sturdy case and has several different bases. One thing I would really like to see is Bosch to make a small plunge base and a circle cutter for this tool. They make a circle cutter for their rotozip which is poor quality and really only for sheetrock. The addition of a percision plug base would really make a great tool even better. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-19 Summary: Very useful ... I purchased this a little over a month ago to use at work (A/V installs and mobile electronics). I am very pleased with it. It has more power than I expected, and good battery life. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-11 Summary: Excellent product overall - with a couple of caveats ... Overall, I'm very pleased with this driver. The feel of the grip and the ergonomics are excellent, as is the pivoting head that gives you the needed flexibility depending on the situation at hand. The caveats (probably kept me from awarding fice stars): 1) As indicated in other reviews, the torque setting doesn't seem to affect the overall torque delivered to the bit as one might expect; 2) there seems to be, under some conditions, a delay between depressing the trigger and the actual rotation of the bit. I'm unsure ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-17 Summary: Perfect little companion ... This is a great product. I haven't had extended time with it... but on first blush it's designed to be exactly what it looks like... a drill for tight spaces. I just hope the Bosch name doesn't let me down. ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-23 Summary: Another angle ... A right-angle drill/driver is hard to do without. Goodness knows how many times we all have reached into tight places to drive screws manually with ratchets or short screwdrivers. Not fun, is it? The Bosch PS10-2 gets into those tight areas for tasks like attaching drawer slides. Plus, it is reasonably small and light, so you will grab it for a lot of normal drilling and screw-driving tasks. The angle-head feature works perfectly and while 0 and 90 degree angles are the most used, once in a while another angle is useful. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Amazon.com | We’d wager there have been plenty of times you tried to maneuver a drill/driver into a spot that just wouldn’t allow it and wished you had a small, powerful tool that would drive a screw where others just can’t go. Here it is. The PS10 is one of the handiest, most powerful little drivers we’ve laid hands on. It’s impressively powered by "litheon," which Bosch calls "the industry’s most advanced lithium-ion battery technology." We can attest that there’s absolutely no lag in power,...more

My first router is a large Makita that works well, but is difficult to use in tight spaces and is very heavy. This Bosch is very light and easy to hold and use. I especially like the soft start feature. The construction seems to be very solid and the adjustments are easy to use. Excellent router for the price. ...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-18 Summary: Bosch PR20EVSK Handheld Small Router ... I selected this brand and model in part because of favorable reviews in several woodworking magazine product comparisons. I was not disappointed in my choice - I have been using the router almost daily for about a month and love it. Some features I particularly like are the ease of removal of the base - unlatch, twist and it's off. Arbor lock makes bit removal a one-wrench operation. There is good visibility of the bit for following layout lines, especially if you use a transparent base plate. The small horsepower ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-13 Summary: Excellent router for multiple tasks Wood and Aluminum ... I own five routers not counting this one and I like this one the best. Most routers are too big for a lot of cabinet work. I have an old style Black & Decker router that's small and compact but I've completely worn it out and was looking for a suitable replacement. I selected the Bosch variable speed. Here's what I liked: 1. Its just the right size for most of my cabinet finishing jobs. I even use it to trim aluminum housing with a straight 3/16" HS steel bit. 2. Its quiet, most routers are excessively noisy. The variable ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Review | If you’ve ever wished for a smaller router that still had the power and accuracy of the standard models, Bosch made this for you. This little Colt is little only in size. It’s 5.7 amp motor gives you all the power and speed of a big bruiser, with a variable speed of 16,000 to 35,000 rpm. Weighing in at just a hair over 3 pounds, it feels like a feather, so one-handed control is absolutely perfect. Bosch’s soft grip design is intuitive, and whether your hands are big or small, it fits just right,...more

Pluses: Small compact design Great battery life Holds a charge for months Quick to change from drills to screwdrivers Fits in you pocket (Nice for cold weather use) Minuses(all minor): Case design is a little awkward drills in chuck are a little loose Don't let you friends try it Don't even think ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-02 Summary: My Favorite Tool! ... I originally purchased this tool to help speed up changing the oil on my wife's M45 (okay, an excuse to buy a tool). Honestly, the oil plug and filter are behind an access panel that uses about 18 10mm bolts and this would have taken forever to manual do and my Dewalt drill was too big to work under a car with. It certainly speeds things up. Also helps with DIY home projects. It feels pefect and well balanced in my hand, batteries seem to last forever and charge quickly. Bosch just came out with the 2A that is a 12v ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-23 Summary: Best present I ever bought myself ... This pocket driver is so wonderful, I want to marry it!! Compact, strong, and lightweight, it's so easy to handle and has such great power!! I use it everyday for work, and with two batteries, you just need to switch every 2 to 3 days (depending on how busy you are), and you always have the strength of a corded driver. And it's so light, you hardly use any strength holding it up. I cannot say enough good things about this driver!! I also saw it at one of the big home improvement stores for lots more. This is such a ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | Forty-percent lighter and 33-percent more productive than other ultra-compact drill/drivers, the Pocket Driver is small enough to fit into a tool belt pouch and lightweight and powerful enough to accomplish a majority of professional drill/driving tasks all day without fatigue. For carpenters, remodelers, electricians, woodworkers and more, the Pocket Driver is an invaluable complement to larger and heavier cordless drill/drivers. The 10.8-volt Pocket Driver measures only 6 by 6.5-inches,...more
