overanalyze Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have been eyeing the new Bosch brushless 12v (10.8v) impact from a far. As of yet this is still a NAINA item. Well my patience got the better of me and I ordered one from Ebay from Korea. Shipping was fast!! $129 shipped bare tool. Here is a quick video I made showing it compared to the older brushed PS41 and my IDH182. I like it overall. They took some of the rubber off the new grip that I think they should have left on. Also the 1/4" chuck could have been the newer style like on the Dewalt 887 and Milwaukee Gen2 impacts. Otherwise so far it seems like a nice upgrade. I am going to put this to use as my daily impact for a while to see if I can get by with 12v instead of 18v. We shall see.... https://youtu.be/JtyX9mRafaA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 love the compactness of them, love to have a heads up fight between that and the m12 fuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overanalyze Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Here are some pics. The size of this is almost identical to the PS41. It does weigh in a little less. Also compared it to my IDH182 for weight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overanalyze Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 The led is nice and bright. This model lets you turn it on without pressing the trigger. Makes it nice for inside a cabinet or dark work area to help see the work area before you start drilling. The button for the light is on top. This model also has two speed/torque settings now for more delicate needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Friggin awesome Andrew! That new gun is sweet. Great, actually awesome video too. Any chance you have a link to the eBay store? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overanalyze Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Sure..here it is. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111912701049?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Obviously buying from overseas you assume that warranty claims will take some work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overanalyze Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I was using this a bit today and it definitely seems like it runs quieter than the PS41. I mean it still has that impact sound but not quite as loud. Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Listening to the video there is definitely a higher pitch but lower tone to the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK13 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Nice video, man. If they bring this to NA (and a BL 3/8" impact wrench) I'm making the leap to Bosch 12v. WTH, it's not like three battery platforms is much different than four, right? LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like DeWalt, I can't see me getting into 12v Makita, and the 18v Bosch isn't very compelling over the M18 and LXT stuff I have now. I don't like the D-handle Festool stuff... my mitts are to wide. Can't see getting into the other Eurotrash stuff. Well, maybe the IR IQ20v stuff might be cool...
