Bosch GSR12V-140FCB22 12V Max Drill/Driver with 5-In-1 Flexiclick® System and (2) 2.0 Ah Batteries

An amateur handyman & carpenter, I've used countless drills over 5 decades but this Bosch 12V cordless 5-headed "hydra" is a simply remarkable tool that is hands-down the best 12V drill I've ever used and puts many 18V/20V drills to shame. It is easy & intuitive to understand how to change the heads and has the right weight and feel of a trusted tool. I adore my Makita 18V twins but they're bigger & heavier & won't fit tasks like this Bosch will - especially with Bosch's offset head to drill/screw into tight corners & the right-angle flexible head. I just got this on sale for $140 and everything about it is Bosch high-quality - the heads, the carrying case, the charger, the feel in your hand. I used it all day on multiple DIY projects with both batteries and it just blew through everything - including my Dodge pickup truck bed metal - with the Black Oxide bits sold separately. I wish I had this decades ago. Kudos to Bosch - this is an amazing evolution in cordless drill technology and a simply amazing tool.

I love this Bosch Flexiclick multi-head drill/screw driver. I find it to have a very nice feel, and each snap-in piece goes in solid (though a little tight, I do find it sometimes takes a few seconds to get it just right before a piece slides into place, and it can be a little resistant to pulling the head out to allow rotating the right-angle and offset adapters). Note that unlike some reviewers, I have no issues with rotating and setting the adapters in each of the 16 positions (every 22.5 degrees), not just 90 degrees, for all pieces, including the right-angle and offset adapters. The gearing in this driver is somehow smoother than my older DeWalt or Porter Cable drivers, so I now tend to reach for this one when driving screws (easier speed control). It may not have quite as much power for driving deep screws, but that has only happened a couple of times and I just switched to my DeWalt for a second to finish it off. It does fit my hand, though I have large hands and can see where some people might find it a bit large to wrap their hand around. Update: I've had it over 1.5 years now and its working great and is my main screw driver. Note that though I use it often, I just do projects around the house and RV, so I can't speak to its durability for daily hard use like a professional would.

I'm a builder and have lots of different drills and drivers, and despite the basic design being more than 10 years old this is still a great little drill. I use it mainly for cabinet installs, where its size, versatility, and precise clutch are major time savers. It has enough power to drive a 1 1/4 Dare Devil or speedbor in a pinch, but if you think you're going to use this to rough in some electrical, or build a deck there are obviously better alternatives. I also want to mention I have never had the head disengage unintentionally. This was a major concern or mine reading some of the reviews, but it simply is not an issue for me. I dont know if this is because of a design change, or user error on the part of some reviewers, but once it is locked in I dont see how it would come off by itself, and I've certainly never experienced it. I do wish the drill had some sort of belt clip, especially since the one on their 12v impact is the best I've used.

I really like this tool and have been recommending it to many other people. I especially like the compact size and the offset attachment. I like it much better than the DeWalt 12V drill. I have not tried the Milwaukee M12 tool so cannot compare it. It is not designed for heavy duty projects (like building a deck) but it is great for most other jobs and is much lighter and easier to use than bigger drills. It only comes with a soft case so I bought a rigid case for it from Harbor Freight. Each person needs to decide if they want to pay about 50$ extra for the brushless version. I would recommend the brushless version for professionals but this version is fine for everyone else. Expecting this to do big jobs is like using a Honda Fit to move furniture (although I am guilty of doing that).

I’m subtracting one star because it was shipped with only one battery. I bout it “reconditioned”, but I don’t think that means that it should be missing a component of the kit. I’m a fan of Bosch 12v tools, and this meets my high expectations. The power is adequate for most common tasks for finish carpenters and cabinet-installers. If you’re planning to remove lug nuts or something, then I suggest a good impact driver/wrench. I think it could drive decking screws, but it would be slow-ish, and I wouldn’t expect it to drive them all day long without damage to the tool. The attachments are very useful and feel solid. I particularly like the offset attachment for screws that need to be driven flush. I’ve worked as a cabinet installer for several years, and I foresee this being particularly useful for hardware installation. I do recommend a second drill with a 3-jaw chuck instead of repetitively changing bits in the detachable 3-jaw chuck that comes with this kit. Putting the detachable chuck back on just to loosen a drill bit and put in another bit becomes an annoyance very quickly. It’s still entirely useable, and it saves money and space compared to having a second drill. That’s the main thing that I dislike about using this drill, so I’m happy with this purchase overall.

The Bosch Flexiclick system makes this drill one of the most versatile tools in the 12V category. Being able to swap heads quickly for right angle or offset drilling is a huge advantage in tight spaces like cabinets or framing corners. It’s lightweight, easy to control, and great for precision work. However, it’s not a replacement for a full-size drill when it comes to heavy-duty tasks or high torque applications. If you understand its role as a compact, flexible solution rather than a powerhouse, it becomes an incredibly valuable tool to have.

Easily the best tool I ever purchased. No problems, no querks, as advertised. The offset interchangeable head is a game changer and I find I do most of my work with it attached (woodworking with hardwoods inc. maple, walnut, oak, zebra). I even use it to drill metal with very good non-mass production bits, but I have found zero noticeable power loss with the interchangeable heads, the battery life is great and the ergonomics can’t be beat. I also have the larger Bosh impact driver and haven’t used it since this little 20v arrived because it does... everything I need it to. I did think I was vastly limited in torque when I first got it because it would stall out on heavy material until I realized there is a limiter feature which has one of the greatest assets because once you dial in how to set it, well... I never have to worry about bumping the trigger or going slow and I never over-drill or crack wood anymore, even on very delicate material. It’s actually one of the best time saving features if you know how to use it. Well done Bosh!!!

Much quieter, very powerful, very light, very comfortable in hand! Great quality! It surprised me yesterday when I used impact drivers on “squeeeeek no more “ 2 1/4 in screw to the wood floor. Makita 18v failed, Milwaukee 12 v fuel did a little better, Bosch 18 v did similar as Milwaukee 12v. Finally, I used Bosch 12v. It worked successfully to drive the screw in. I watched many tools review videos on YouTube. Most of them showed Milwaukee is the best. Sorry for the stereotype. Bosch 12 v this tool is the best for me!

very good!

I love this cordless screwdriver/drill kit. I'm a general contractor and use my tools hard, and this thing is solid. It gets in super tight places, The motor is strong, the different heads change on and off easily, it all works as it should, and the battery life is surprisingly long for such small batteries. I use this tool almost every day on the job. There are tight places where no other tool would fit, but this thing can get in there. Highly recommended. Two of my builder buddies have bought this tool after using mine.

Muy buen taladro, yo lo compre para usarlo en ensables de muebles en mdf e instalaciones, con todos los accesorios se hace indispensable en las isntalaciones

Muy práctico y útil, la mejor compra lo recomiendo.

I just purchased the 12v Bosch flexi click package, brushed. I have a 15yr old 18v makita brushed drill with hammer drill setting. Hardly used that setting. That drill weighs 5lb! I have a number of makita 18v tools and they’re great. Man, have things changed though! This Bosch drill weighs approx 2lbs depending on attachment. It feels great in my hand, I can feel how smooth and quiet the motor is. The attachments work as advertised. It’s amazingly compact and has lots of torque to accomplish 90% of normal work. My dilemma was should I go brushless or brushed. Brushless model is considerably more expensive but there’s more to the story. Brushed drills are easier to operate at very slow rpm on speed #1 - ie: starting a drill hole or starting a screw. Brushes are cheap and easy to install by a DIY’R but you may never need to replace them. You might say brushless drills are a bit twitchy, jumpy, not sure how to explain that! Anyway, I love good tools and Bosch tools are exceptional. I have this drill, a Bosch corded 5” orbital sander, and Bosch FL12 work light. I would not hesitate to buy them all again.
