Bosch PS21-2A Pocket Driver Review

Bosch’s new PS21-2A 12V Pocket Driver improves significantly upon last year’s model (the PS20-2A). Suffice it to say, Bosch has completely re-engineered the guts of this driver, tripling its torque and shrinking its footprint by a striking amount. They also beefed up the lithium-ion battery, giving the tool a nice tweak in the power department and showing that Bosch is serious about its technology. The purpose of the tool is to fill the needs of all manner of users, from contractors who want a handy, portable driver, to homeowners looking to obtain a beefy, lightweight solution for all their small project needs.

Last year we put our hands on the Bosch PS40-2A 12V Impact Driver, which turned out to be a tool that packed a lot of punch in a small footprint. About a year later we’re getting to lay hold of some more miniature powerhouses, the first of which is the PS31-2A 3/8″ Cordless Drill/Driver. We’ve been big on the importance and sheer convenience these new 12V tools provide and it was great to be able to take Bosch’s newest product to the bench and on the jobsite to see what it could do.
