Everything You Want to Know About the Bosch 12V Drill/Driver Kit - One Year Review

[@BrettsWoodshop]

I just released plans on my new website! The plans are for the Project shown in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6OyoHuQfZifgpo

[@erinvirtue5590]

You sold me! I just moved and have put together so much furniture with only a manual screwdriver haha my hands have never cramped until now

[@BrettsWoodshop]

What’s a screwdriver? 😉

[@cromyjr1592]

The TRUTH was locked, unable to escape. But finally, this courageous youtuber set it free :) What times to be alive and read video titles !

[@BrettsWoodshop]

😂

[@davidkilts1670]

This is easily the best driver I have ever purchased. It has been especially useful working on appliances for me. Thanks for the video!

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Great to hear!

[@barstad-9591]

I just bought the same kit for 48% off - paid $113.41 via your affiliate link. Thanks for the video and the heads up.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Awesome, thank you! Hope you enjoy it!

[@WoodworkingWarrior]

I've been using this tool a lot on cabinet installs. Works great when doing any of the smaller spice rack pullout cabinets.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

That’s awesome!

[@kkon5ti]

Tysm for the confirmation bias, got the same thing and was wondering how useful it was gonna be in more specialized projects than just putting a screw into the wall

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Getting in tight spaces is what sets it apart. Happy DIYing!

[@kkon5ti]

@@BrettsWoodshop thank you!

[@DanielKennedy-y2l]

Great deal! and a great tool review. Thanks!

[@BrettsWoodshop]

I know! They’re GIVING these things away!

[@bernitup6492]

Thanks for the review... the brushless model is on sale right now.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

You're very welcome! And thanks for the heads up. 😀

[@karenmitchell6814]

I just got mine. It came with a detachable belt clip that will also hold 2 bits. 😄

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Cool! Have fun with it!

[@iangregoryhome]

That's the latest model with the belt clip and bit holder.

[@TheTuneAce]

I love the Milwaukee 12v line. These head attachments are awesome. This set plus an impact at a discounted price would be perfect for entering into a 12v line. My only issue is that Bosch doesn't make an electric ratchet or a Dremel in their 12v line

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Right on

[@reecehardiman7662]

They make a 12v rotary tool, which is the proper name for a Dremel. And fun fact, Bosch own the company Dremel

[@karpuzsever]

12v dremel already uses bosch's 12v platform and batteries will work. its owned by Bosch anyway

[@PG-BuySellTrade]

Just got this at my local Lowe’s in the clearance section, half ass hidden, for $79.99!! Also a 6.0 battery for $35!

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Wow! Great find!

[@anonymous-nobody1]

I got one a year or so ago, I too think it is great, my one complaint is the bag they provide is worthless to keep the parts organized, its simply toss everything in the bag.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

I can’t disagree about the bag. Thanks for watching!

[@TheDwightMamba]

I have 2 sets, because I hate changing bits. I only bring 2 offsets, a right angle and a regular chuck with me. It all fits in one bag.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Nice!

[@TheDwightMamba]

@@BrettsWoodshop I got robbed of 90% of my tool collection 3 years ago. Working with a minimal rig made me not love the game. A year ago I started a tool buying rampage that is still taking place. Everything is brushless now. That robbery was the best thing to ever happen for my career. I would have ran those tools into the earth. The biggest sting of it was that I just finished replacing 17 slim packs with new Samsung cells. 1.7 upgraded to 3Amps. They were so nice!

[@BrettsWoodshop]

@@TheDwightMamba Way to see the bright side (or brushless side) of a tragic loss!

[@positiveaspect5730]

HI Brett, Thanks for the review and the link. I can't seem to find this information but can you see on the charger if it is 110v-240v please as I can't get this tool in Australia as yet

[@BrettsWoodshop]

It’s a class 2 battery charger with Input of 120V-60Hz-32W and an output of 7.2-12V = 2A. Hope that helps!

[@iangregoryhome]

Amazon Japan sale this item.

[@wdpk837]

I like these but wish impact drivers would put a screw hole at the top - this is the best area for magnetic bit holder attachments rather than sides

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Thanks

[@sham1234567891]

Great stuff. I wonder if this model can drill through concrete. Did you try? If Yes, I might buy it.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

This model doesn’t have a hammer setting. I would recommend a hammer drill for drilling into concrete. Like maybe this one amzn.to/3HfSlZr

[@cyberfemme319]

Can you use hex shank bits in the 1/4 inch collet directly, or is the runout too bad?

[@BrettsWoodshop]

That totally works.! That’s primarily how I use it, with a quick change magnetic extension bit holder. That’s what makes it so compact.

[@cyberfemme319]

@@BrettsWoodshop Sorry, I should have specified hex shank *drill* bits. :P I'm curious if the wobble would make it impractical for drilling.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

@@cyberfemme319 There's also a low profile attachment that locks in the hex bits that comes in the kit. But I generally use the drill chuck for drill bits regardless.

[@janisripple754]

Thank for the heads up on Bosh tool Kit - save $$

[@BrettsWoodshop]

You bet!

[@JohnLennon-yg4ut]

I live in America and was dissapointed when I saw that they stoped selling Bosch 12v in America. you gotta get them online now which is annoying.

[@Dirtyharry70585]

I’ve own this Bosch for 3yrs, use it for door and cabinet removal or install. Also own a dewalt 12v screw/drill and newest M12 hammer drill/clutch with the impact driver. The M12 has the balls but not that Swiss knife all in one.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

[@Mechanicsville804]

Hey I clicked the link and the tool was no longer discounted it’s was at $219. I found it on Amazon for $129. Hope this will help you to fix the link!

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Nice work! Thanks for letting me know!

[@dragonfalcon8474]

I'd be curious to see what the brushed version is like against the brushless version?

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Me too

[@katelikesrectangles]

fab, thank you!

[@BrettsWoodshop]

No worries!

[@pazmaniaoh6341]

Does it hammer?

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Nope. Not that kind of drill.

[@keinermehrfrei01]

GFA 12-H FlexiClick should fit

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Thanks @keinermehrfrei01 . I didn't know about that attachment!

[@AdmSpock]

​@@BrettsWoodshop it is recommended you use the stronger brushless driver for the drillhammer attachment. For small holes up to 10mm it's perfect.

[@iangregoryhome]

Treat yourself and get the newer version, so much better.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Really? I’ll probably do that whenever this one stops working.

[@DSquire10]

Good tip, what’s the model number on the newest version?

[@iangregoryhome]

@@DSquire10 GSR 12V-35 FC

[@arnonfalkov3049]

@@DSquire10In the US the new model is called BOSCH GSR12V-300FCB22. As far as I can tell it is identical in every way to the 140 except utilizing a brushless motor. And a belt clip! 😊

[@bigj-yn3tf]

So many models it confuses me. Even the guy under your post said the new model us different than the one you listed.​@@iangregoryhome

[@DrewA44]

I find the system of changing head horrible. Every time I want to change the drill bit I unlock the head by chance.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Bummer. Sorry to hear that. Maybe hex-shank bits would work better for you. No twist necessary. Like these amzn.to/3HHOQeD

[@TwinbeeUK]

@@BrettsWoodshop All drill and screw bits should be hex by default.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

@@TwinbeeUK I don't disagree.

[@icing777]

It is $219...???

[@BrettsWoodshop]

It was on sale for a long time. I guess the sale is over ☹ Sorry about that! IMO it's still worth the retail price.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

This kit is even CHEAPER! It's 50% off right now! amzn.to/3SgqoHq
