Weekend warriors are all too familiar with the burden of incorporating cumbersome drills into their workflows. This combo grants considerable relief in its comfortable and light-weight form factor.
Additionally, both tools incorporate a quick-change chuck to minimize time between bit transitions.
Loosening and tightening chucks to accept different bits is no longer an intermediate step. The market is replete with bit sets and we recommend the DEWALT Titanium Drill Bit Set, 10-Piece Impact Ready (DD5160) set due to its quick-change capabilities and pilot-point features.
Both units utilize brushless motors to ensure extended tool life. The drill/driver contains two speed settings (low for tougher materials like metal and high for lighter jobs like pine) as well as 20 clutch settings. Additionally, each unit contains LED lights in their respective business ends.
The combo includes two batteries and a charger. Battery status lights on each unit provide convenient indications of remaining juice.
Empty batteries achieve full charge in thirty minutes, allowing for near uninterrupted workflows. To contain the duo, BOSCH includes a spartan cloth case that could use a bit more rigidity and reinforcement.
- Plenty of power in a lightweight and compact form factor
- Batteries charge quickly
- Cloth case is underwhelming compared to competitor offerings
CONSENSUS:
The 12v CLPK27 drill/driver and impact driver combo from BOSCH delivers all the power you need in a surprisingly comfortable and compact size.
