Bosch PS31 12V Drill/Driver Review: Our Shop Fit?
We didn’t expect a 12V drill to earn much bench time, but the BOSCH PS31-2A 12V Max 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver Kit kept sneaking into our hands. Its compact body slips into cabinet corners and tight stud bays where bulkier tools usually stall the job. The variable-speed trigger feels predictable, letting us feather in small screws without stripping heads, then ramp up for light drilling when needed. With two 2 Ah batteries in the kit, downtime stayed low—one pack working while the other sat on the charger. It’s not trying to be a brute, and we didn’t ask it to. For everyday assembly, punch-list fixes, and quick shop tasks, it may be exactly our pace.
BLACK+DECKER BCD702 Drill/Driver Review: Our Shop?
In our shop, the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Drill Kit (BCD702C1) lands in that sweet spot between “weekend fix” and “daily driver.” We like how the 20V battery system keeps the tool feeling lively for common tasks—hanging shelves, assembling furniture, tightening hardware—without dragging us back to the charger every few minutes. The included charger and battery make it a true ready-to-work kit, and the double-sided drill bit is a small touch that saves a little rummaging when we’re moving fast. It’s not trying to be a heavyweight pro rig, but for light-to-moderate drilling and driving, it earns its place on our bench.
