   Only the best screwdriver ever!
   n

   Title says it all. This thing is great. Good power, fast charging battery, fits into tight spaces, and despite what it looks like — it is very comfortable to hold and operate. The articulating head is very easy to get into odd places, and the power is very easy to control.n
   n
   It drills holes for screws very well (you need hex shank drill bits as there is no chuck). My only complaint is that it did not come with more bits (only one philips and one flat).n
   n
   An oddity that took a second to “get” — the clutch is electronic. When the torque is exceeded, the drill/screwdriver simply stops. No clicking or impact action. At first I thought I stalled it, but apparently that is normal operation. Now that I’m used to it it’s fine.n
   n
   This is now the first (and sometimes only) tool I reach for in the shop for any of my screwing/drilling/driving needs. Of course, I keep the other ones around for drilling bigger holes or turning the paddle mixer.n
   n
   I definitely recommend this.

   Great Tool….Greater Price
   n

   This tool does everything it is supposed to do and does it well…great torque and stops quickly to prevent over driving. I got this complete set tool, two batteries and charger from Amazon for less than $50 bucks…you can’t beat that.

   thrilled, this is a really nice screwdriver
   n

   Granted, $100 is a lot for a screwdriver, but this one is really nice, gets the job done quickly in tight spaces, and seems well built. The refurb seems good as new, I’d highly recommend this.n
   n
   I got the click change kit, and the quick change bit thing isn’t a 1/4″ connector, which is annoying, although all the other bits fit.n
   n
   Has saved me a ton of time for home projects, won’t be going back to a normal screwdriver unless I have to!

   As Good As New
   n

   Why buy “factory new” when “factory reconditioned” is just as good?n
   n
   I’ve had one of these for nearly 2 years and it is great. It is tough and powerful, albeit a bit bulky. If it weren’t for the “Reconditioned” label on it you would never know the difference from “factory new.”n
   n
   The rotating head makes it easy to get into tight spots. The quick change chuck locks bits in place. Powerful enough to drive real screws. Adjustable clutch. Decent battery life. Quick charge. It even got positive comments from a carpenter friend who scoffs at anything less than 18 volts.n
   n
   Mine arrived in perfect condition with a factory case, charger, 2 batteries, manual, and all the accessories…just like the “new” one. It also has a 1 yr Bosch factory warranty…just like the “new” one. The big difference…about $40 – 50 cheaper for the same quality, service, and warranty.n
   n
   After using it for nearly 2 years I can say this was a wise purchase. I have also purchased other Bosch factory reconditioned power tools with similarly satisfactory results.n
   n
   Highly recommended.
