The Bosch PS20 is designed to drive, not to drill big holes. If you’re OK with more screwing and less drilling (and who isn’t?), then this is the tool for you!

One basic difference between a cordless driver like the PS20 and a standard drill is the chuck. With the PS20, you’ll need hex ball-detent bits (these are the longer hex bits with a little groove in them). If you plan to use little 1″ or shorter hex bits, you’ll want a separate magnetic bit holder for them. I personally prefer the detent bits over the magnetic bit holder.
