Bosch GSR12V-140FCB22 12V Max Drill/Driver with 5-In-1 Flexiclick® System and (2) 2.0 Ah Batteries

Much quieter, very powerful, very light, very comfortable in hand! Great quality! It surprised me yesterday when I used impact drivers on “squeeeeek no more “ 2 1/4 in screw to the wood floor. Makita 18v failed, Milwaukee 12 v fuel did a little better, Bosch 18 v did similar as Milwaukee 12v. Finally, I used Bosch 12v. It worked successfully to drive the screw in. I watched many tools review videos on YouTube. Most of them showed Milwaukee is the best. Sorry for the stereotype. Bosch 12 v this tool is the best for me!

I love this Bosch Flexiclick multi-head drill/screw driver. I find it to have a very nice feel, and each snap-in piece goes in solid (though a little tight, I do find it sometimes takes a few seconds to get it just right before a piece slides into place, and it can be a little resistant to pulling the head out to allow rotating the right-angle and offset adapters). Note that unlike some reviewers, I have no issues with rotating and setting the adapters in each of the 16 positions (every 22.5 degrees), not just 90 degrees, for all pieces, including the right-angle and offset adapters. The gearing in this driver is somehow smoother than my older DeWalt or Porter Cable drivers, so I now tend to reach for this one when driving screws (easier speed control). It may not have quite as much power for driving deep screws, but that has only happened a couple of times and I just switched to my DeWalt for a second to finish it off. It does fit my hand, though I have large hands and can see where some people might find it a bit large to wrap their hand around. Update: I've had it over 1.5 years now and its working great and is my main screw driver. Note that though I use it often, I just do projects around the house and RV, so I can't speak to its durability for daily hard use like a professional would.

Amazing tool, great power for a 12 volt, there are times when nothing else will do the job. Had mine for 3 years and bought 2 more for my sons.

I really like this tool and have been recommending it to many other people. I especially like the compact size and the offset attachment. I like it much better than the DeWalt 12V drill. I have not tried the Milwaukee M12 tool so cannot compare it. It is not designed for heavy duty projects (like building a deck) but it is great for most other jobs and is much lighter and easier to use than bigger drills. It only comes with a soft case so I bought a rigid case for it from Harbor Freight. Each person needs to decide if they want to pay about 50$ extra for the brushless version. I would recommend the brushless version for professionals but this version is fine for everyone else. Expecting this to do big jobs is like using a Honda Fit to move furniture (although I am guilty of doing that).

I’m subtracting one star because it was shipped with only one battery. I bout it “reconditioned”, but I don’t think that means that it should be missing a component of the kit. I’m a fan of Bosch 12v tools, and this meets my high expectations. The power is adequate for most common tasks for finish carpenters and cabinet-installers. If you’re planning to remove lug nuts or something, then I suggest a good impact driver/wrench. I think it could drive decking screws, but it would be slow-ish, and I wouldn’t expect it to drive them all day long without damage to the tool. The attachments are very useful and feel solid. I particularly like the offset attachment for screws that need to be driven flush. I’ve worked as a cabinet installer for several years, and I foresee this being particularly useful for hardware installation. I do recommend a second drill with a 3-jaw chuck instead of repetitively changing bits in the detachable 3-jaw chuck that comes with this kit. Putting the detachable chuck back on just to loosen a drill bit and put in another bit becomes an annoyance very quickly. It’s still entirely useable, and it saves money and space compared to having a second drill. That’s the main thing that I dislike about using this drill, so I’m happy with this purchase overall.

A+

I have been looking at this sort of item for a very long time but already owning a number of drills, I could not justify getting this. But then my son started university and he said he will have projects where a drill will be very handy. I now have my excuse to get a new 1. It was shipped slowly. Well it took a long time to get here but I wasn't in a hurry to get it. Was somewhat excited about it. A little disappointed that it appeared to be a used return but for the price I got it for, I can live with that. The unit itself is so sturdy feeling and very heavy for it's size. It's about the same size as the 1 I'm sending to my son but it feels as heavy as a full sized drill. The motor is so smooth, the smoothest of any of my drills. I'm really looking forward to using this. I'm not a builder and I don't use drills on a daily basis. I just want a really good 1 for around the house things and for when I'm working on golf clubs. I have a makeshift golf shop in my garage and having a couple of drills setup with various bits that I need is incredibly convenient. I'm also intrigued by all the different changeable heads this comes with. Most of the time, I'll keep the 1/4 inch quick change head in. But having the option for other pieces is what really drew me to this. I have run into times when I needed something angled or a 90 degree turn but didn't have the right pieces to make it easy. Now I do. Having 2 batteries is no nice. I can keep going if and when 1 dies and that's really important for me. When I'm on a roll, I want to keep it going. I haven't put the drill through everything yet but I can tell it will be an amazing complement to all my power tools.

This is a pretty amazing deal - compare the cost of buying one battery + charger separately, it's about the same as this kit. Obviously this item is designed to get you into the Bosh 12V system, which is no terrible thing. This is probably a very good first purchase. While the drill is not up to the brushless GSR12V-300FC (also compatible available with these accessories), it's good enough. In fact is probably about the equal of one of my ancient Milwaukee 18V non-brushless units from over ten years ago - batteries, tools and even motors have come a long way. The chuck is good, closing down to grip even sub-1mm drill bits and opening up to 10mm - but I don't know if you want to be using large drill bits in this little drill, it probably has the power to get through a few holes but you may not have the grip with the small body of this drill. The light is handy, and works well. The accessories are easy to click on and off and will get you into tight or offset spots with ease. I would have liked to see an accessory mount (as the GSR12V-300FC has) on the body to attach a belt clip or bit holder. 3D printing will maybe solve that problem though there are not many places that a holder could grip onto without obscuring essential controls or vent holes. I have about 6 Bosch 12V tools now and I'm pretty impressed - in fact I bought this one because two extra batteries is handy, and I needed an extra charger. Free drill and accessories, effectively!

I am a DIY enthusiastic person. I had 2 different brands of impact and hammer drills set but they are all regular size drills. When I see this drill, I am not paying too much attention to it. Then I see a set from my colleague, I start to think about why I need this. After a period of time, I am telling myself I should not waste money on my third set for no reason. However, the promotion price from amazon drew my attention again. I eventually bought it and test it. After couple small project using it, I decide to do this review. I really like it. It is lighter and smaller than my drill sets. When u work at restricted area with limited room and ceiling or high height work, this drill definitely has an advantage over any regular drill. It is easy to hold and carry. the switchable concept is invincible. No need to carry two drills anymore and easy to switch amongs different caulks. Right angle and offset caulks are big selling points too. One small bag pretty much carry everything. I put a bits box in the bag instead of charger to make it more comprehensive with pretty much everything I need in one single bag. The whole set is solid built and good quality. If really want me to criticize, I will say the power is not too high but good enough for most DIY project. The price (even regular price) is quite competitive considering it comes with 2 batteries and different caulks. Highly recommend this to any persons for a new drill or second or third set. :)

I just purchased the 12v Bosch flexi click package, brushed. I have a 15yr old 18v makita brushed drill with hammer drill setting. Hardly used that setting. That drill weighs 5lb! I have a number of makita 18v tools and they’re great. Man, have things changed though! This Bosch drill weighs approx 2lbs depending on attachment. It feels great in my hand, I can feel how smooth and quiet the motor is. The attachments work as advertised. It’s amazingly compact and has lots of torque to accomplish 90% of normal work. My dilemma was should I go brushless or brushed. Brushless model is considerably more expensive but there’s more to the story. Brushed drills are easier to operate at very slow rpm on speed #1 - ie: starting a drill hole or starting a screw. Brushes are cheap and easy to install by a DIY’R but you may never need to replace them. You might say brushless drills are a bit twitchy, jumpy, not sure how to explain that! Anyway, I love good tools and Bosch tools are exceptional. I have this drill, a Bosch corded 5” orbital sander, and Bosch FL12 work light. I would not hesitate to buy them all again.

Used this product while I was building a suspended storage area in the garage above the garage door. Basically 2x4 construction using construction screws and hangers for the 2x4. The offset attachment was great for driving in the 2 5/8 inch size 8 screws I was using. On the hangers I used 1 3/8 screws and it made short work of them all. Had a couple of joists in the way and found the 90 degree driver worked perfectly to get screws in there. Since I was working in the air I liked the light weight of these item. They have good torque but not as much as the 18 volt models I have but are far lighter and have enough and are much easier to handle due to smaller size. Probably if I was going to just get 1 tool I would get this item due to its versatility. It would be nice if they made this in brushless for even better battery life but it was fine for what I was doing. If you were driving screws all day you would need a couple of batteries as that seemed to take the most out of the battery, I think you could probably drill things all day. Great tool glad I got it.

Es un atornillador muy práctico por los accesorios incluidos para casi todas las tareas hogareñas en donde se requiere de el. lo he estado ocupando y estoy contento con su desempeño, es mediano y algo ligero lo cual permite hacer los trabajos más facil para toda persona que lo ocupe.
