Big torque—-that's what this driver's about. It's lightweight, compact and so simple to use--just pull the collet locking sleeve forward, chuck in a bit, let the sleeve go and you've got 950 inch-pounds of torque in your hand. We got the best results with a little patience, starting slowly, blasting the speed and letting off gently, slowing to a stop. You'll learn to sense when the fastener is seated, because if you give it another go, the tool will twist right out of your hand. A couple of nice features set it apart from the competition, including a super comfortable rubberized grip and an integrated, three-position LED work light. It illuminates when you squeeze the trigger, or, if you prefer, you can turn the thumbwheel and shut the light off (though we found it pretty handy). Unlike other drills and drivers, the brushes on this model are easily accessible for cleaning and eventual replacement—all you need is a coin to twist open the cover. We like that it comes with two batteries, so you can one-hour charge one and keep working with the other. Bosch makes it very clear that this is a driver and shouldn't be used as a drill. If you're turning bolts, nuts or screws on a daily basis, this is definitely worth the investment because it will quickly repay you in time and effort saved.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
