Bosch Cordless Screwdriver

Have you seen the latest Bosch cordless screwdriver?

It's micro sized, lightweight, powerful and handy. The SPS 10-2 4-Volt Max Pocket Screwdriver (the name is bigger than the machine) weighs only 1 lb. and is so easy on the hand and wrist that it can be used for long periods of time by just about any  family member.

This little screwdriver is perfect for woodworking projects, installing switch plates, removing and replacing hinges, tightening new screws, assembling toys and furniture, installing drapery hardware and many other small projects around the house.  In fact, for some, the SPS10 -2 screwdriver may be all they need. 

I recently bought the Bosch Max Pocket screwdriver. I bought it not to replace my drill  but because I thought owning a small screwdriver like this would help me keep up with the never ending small jobs around the house.  I have the tendency to put things off and let them pile up. I figured, if I  kept this small battery operated screwdriver handy, I might fix stuff right away instead of letting the little jobs stack up.

You know the things I'm talking about, like when a kitchen cabinet door comes off or is hanging by one hinge and all you need to do to fix it is put in a couple of screws -- just kidding; but, you know what I mean.

Seems like most homeowners are faced with tightening  screws, replacing  switchplates or some other 2-minute job but don't want to drag out the big Bosch 18v to do it. Instead, we let a lot of small stuff pile up and in the end need a whole day to catch up on it all.

Well, that doesn't happen to me anymore. I bought the Bosch SPS 10-2 screwdriver, keep it in a kitchen drawer and whenever I need to repair something, I fix it right away. In addition, I'm also finding that other people in the house have started fixing a few things, as well -- a bonus I hadn't even thought about. Mission accomplished!

So, yes, for me, this little Bosch Cordless Screwdriver  is a great find and it serves me well. Very well, in fact, I think it's the best screwdriver out there. But that's me.  How about for you.

Here's a few pros and cons to consider.

The Pros:

1. This tool is tiny and very manageable. It can easily get into and out of small spaces. And, it doesn't take up a lot of space in your garage, workshop or tool bin.
2. It has a LED light - Makes working in areas with dim or no light a lot easier. Certainly a lot better than trying to drill in the dark or holding a flashlight in one hand and the screwdriver in the other.
3. It's cordless - No plug, No Outlet needed. Plus, the SPS 10-2 4 v Max Pocket Screwdriver comes with 2 lithium-ion batteries -- you can be charging one while using the other. Also included in the price is the battery charger.
4. Like Bosch drills, the Bosch Screwdriver is ergonomically designed and offers a soft grif for your comfort

   The Cons:

1. The SPS 10-2 is a screwdriver not a drill. It does a lot of the same jobs around the house but if you have major work to do, e.g. driving long screws, putting up a deck adding a wall or room, you need a full-size drill.
2. The batteries are small and need charging frequently. If you plan on working hours at a time, you must remember to charge the second battery (included in price) while using the first.
3. You can buy cheaper battery operated screwdrivers. There are several small sized Ni-Cad screwdrivers on the market which may fit your needs. 

The Bosch screwdriver, however, is favorably priced when compared to other screwdrivers offering lithium-ion batteries.

Well, there you have it. From my perceptive, I give the Bosch Cordless SPS 10-2 4V Max Pocket Screwdriver an A+.

It 's lightweight, does a great job on small jobs, has a convenient light, the two batteries are enough to finish any job I've used it for and when I'm through, I put it in its carrying case and toss it in my kitchen junk drawer.

I know, you're probably a lot neater than I am but this works for me and saves me a lot of time.

Oh, yeah, because of the lithium ion batteries, it also holds a charge a long time when not in use. So, its ready to go when you need it.

If you think a small lithium - ion screwdriver can save you some time and you don't mind the price I think you might want to take a closer look at the 4 volt Bosch SPS 10-2.

As far as the price, It really runs the gamut.  At the time of this writing, the SPS 10-2 is being offered from a low of $57.95 with free shipping and  a high of $105.97.  The list price is given as $143.00.

The low price is at Amazon which is the best price I could find and includes free shipping. Most major sellers that I found are offering the product around $100.
