Drill drivers are already considered more versatile than most other power tools. You can use the average drill driver to both drill holes in a wide range of materials and drive fasteners into them, allowing you to take on these tasks without having to carry around a cordless drill and an impact driver at the same time.
The Bosch 12V Max 5-in-1 Flexiclick Drill Driver Kit takes the traditional drill driver to the next level, with some people calling it Bosch’s “chameleon” drill, thanks to its unmatched versatility. But despite all that it can do, you won’t have to worry about breaking the bank when you buy one now. It typically costs $255 at Amazon, but right now you can order one for only $149.
Top SellerAt first glance, this 5-in-1 drill driver might not seem capable of handling all the jobs Bosch claims it can, given its size. It measures just 5 inches long and 7 inches tall and weighs under 2 pounds. However, it’s equipped with a heavy-duty brushed motor that can reach 1300 RPM and deliver up to 265 inch-pounds of torque. This is the only thing that sets it apart from the other Bosch 12V Max 5-in-1 Drill Driver Kit we covered in the past, which boasts a slightly more powerful brushless motor.
Otherwise, this drill driver offers the same great Flexiclick 5-in-1 attachment system, and it’s a dream come true for anyone planning to use it primarily to work on cars. The system features five distinct attachments, each enabling the drill driver to perform different tasks. It includes a magnetic bit holder for driving, a locking bit holder for high-torque driving, a keyless chuck for drilling, a right-angle head for working in tight spaces, and an offset-angle attachment for working near edges. It also relies on Bosch’s proprietary one-click interface to make swapping its attachments in and out a cinch.
On top of all this, Bosch throws in a pair of Bosch 12V Max 2 Ah Batteries, which normally retail for $89, to go along with the drill driver. They provide 50% more power than previous-generation Bosch batteries and can keep this drill driver running, regardless of which attachments you use.
“I’m an auto mechanic, and I’ve been using this outstanding tool every day for a year now,” one reviewer wrote. “The exchangeable heads have been a real game changer.”
It’s worth noting that the versatility of this Bosch drill driver also makes it more than just a tool that you can use to fix vehicles. “The attachments give you the confidence to tackle any projects, from doing stuff around the house to working on a car,” another shopper wrote. “Whether you’re an avid DIYer or a professional handyman, this tool is for you.”
