I'm convinced that having the right tool for every job can increase the life span of hard core DIY'ers like myself. The Factory-Reconditioned Bosch PS10-2-RT Litheon 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion I-Driver is not a tool that the average homeowner will use daily around the house. However, without fail, every few months a job arises under a sink, behind a toilet, underneath a counter top, inside of a cabinet or wall stud that tends to produce skinned knuckles, bad language and increases the risk of stroke.
After the job is completed and the body has healed, men seem to forget the need for a special tool until another close-quarters job appears a year later.
This versatile driver is one of these special tools...and it comes with a 24% discount off the new price.
Did I hear, "Bargain?"
This complete kit appears to be brand new. The reconditioning is transparent. It has 2 batteries and charger packed in a handy, heavy-duty Cordura nylon carrying case. This compact dynamo does a mountain of work while taking up a mole hill of space.
How many times have you needed a stubby or short-handle screwdriver and couldn't immediately find one...and when you did, your hand was 3 sizes too big? How many times have you needed to drill a hole when there was no room for a drill? Problem solved.
I bought the Bosch PS20-2 Litheon 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion Pocket Driver Kit from Amazon in August 2007. Up until now, it's been the driver I've reached for first for light to medium duty jobs around the house. Now, it has the perfect mate. After nearly 3 years of regular use, the 10.8-Volt batteries still perform like new.
The product images show only a few of the unlimited uses. Appliance repairs scream for this tool. I used it to remove a motor from a large antique wall clock the first day I had it.
Just be aware that you'll need hex-shank drill bits to be able to take full advantage of this powerful little knuckle saver.
All this being said, no single tool is perfect for every job...or craftsman.
As far as cordless tools go for outdoor and heavy construction, brutes like the Milwaukee 28-Volt Lithium-Ion series are hard to beat, but for medium jobs around the house, the Bosch Blue Brothers get my top billing.
