Bosch doesnโt like leaving things alone โ and it rarely considers anything โgood enoughโ. Thatโs apparently what happened when they developed this new tool.ย Theย new Bosch PS11-2A 12Vย Angled Drill Driverย takesย their existing 12V Max I-Driver and mates it with the chuck of their newest PS31-2A 3/8โณ 12V Drill/Driver. Now you get a 3/8โณ drill that has a 5-position articulating head. The adjustable head allows the standard keyless chuck to move from 90 degrees to 180 degrees in 5 steps, providing almost limitless flexibility for when you find yourself working in close quarters.
Bosch PS11-2A 12V Angle Drill Features
Whatโs a tad unique about the PS11-2A Angle Drill/Driver is that itโs, well, up-to-date. It comes with an integrated 2-LED worklight that is mounted to the top of the chuck and adequately illuminates whatever work area you are focusing the tool on. Squeeze the trigger, and the light will come on. Move the chuck, and the light follows. Bosch also updated the form factor to include a battery gauge on the lower part of the body. This is a must-have feature, and weโre glad to see it on all of the new 12V tools from the company.
The 3/8-inch โauto lockโ chuck is nothing new, but itโs great to have the ability to utilize non-1/4โณ hex bits as needed. The PS11-2A seems perfectly suited for pre-drilling cabinets for hardware and mounting. The 115 in-lbs rating also means it should be able to handle larger screws and get some serious jobs done without losing steam. Electricians will love it for drilling through studs and running both high- and low-voltage cabling. The PS11-2A 12V Max Angle Drill/Driver weighs just 2-3/4 lbs, is extremely compact, and comes with the same rubberized overmold that weโve come to love from Boschโs 12V Max line of tools.
The PS11-2Aโs variable speed trigger cranks the RPMs anywhere from 0 to 1300. The high torque is coupled with Boschโs ECP (Electronic Cell Protection), so your runtime is maximized while your motor is protected against overload.
