Bosch is the best, I still have 2 batteries from from 2010 that still works great on my drill and impact.

Bosch with the 4ah 12v battery for me. Used all three, and the Bosch just had more "touch" for finishing and precise work. The 4ah hour allows to stand up when set down.

The tool comparison I needed. Great job. More videos please.

Glad I watched all the way through! Was already leaning towards the Bosch but that ladder bit is a dealbreaker for the others

Excellent review. Thank you for taking the time to show us the differences in real world settings. I’m sold on the Dewalt.

I had the attachment drop off of my Milwaukee while installing a ceiling fan in someone’s home. Fortunately the floor was carpet instead of hardwood. It’s good that you pointed that out.

I have so many power tools and I always find myself going back to the Bosch 12v screwdrivers because they are light weight and I have more control with them due to the precision control with the trigger mechanism and also the overall size is so small I can fit that inside almost anything I am working on. I do residential and commercial HVAC for a living. If this little guy cannot remove something I will determine which impact to go get. I like these because unlike an impact driver it won’t damage the work surface or the fastener as easy

Great review guys! Thanks.

It's the Bosch chameleon, you know the reptile that can change its colors and blend in 😂

I have the m12 and use it to build/install cabinetry. You guys might have been pushing them a little harder than what they were designed for, but it was good to see a comparison. I might pick up the DeWalt just for when I'm working with super dense material.

I have the older brushed version of the bosch, can you combine attachments with the milwaukee or the dewalt like you can with the bosch? I've used the offset attachment with the 90 degree to get into tight places.

Great video 😊

I went for the bosch because of the batteries, it's really come in handy in the tight spaces we work in, I would've gone dewalt but the batteries for far too large, Milwaukee......well every store I went to had heaps of warranty returns behind the counter, that was enough to scare me off. We have abused our bosch 12v impact driver and drill, I mean doing shit they were not designed to do over the past 2 years and they're still going strong.

For the Milwaukee, by far the biggest issue I have with the direction switch being a button on the top is that it's same button that's on the all of the M12 impactors. Somehow Milwaukee decided that it's a good idea to put the same button, in the same place, and with similar graffics on multiple tools in the M12 family, but with completely different functions. On the impactors it changes speed. On the installation driver it changes direction. I sometimes switch between the installation driver and the surge driver. Fortunately I only made the mistake once.

So the DCD701 for me. Just a drill to enbiggen centerpunch marks and make a pilot hole. Thanks for the demonstrations and ladder observation.

Looking to get the 12v dewalt for conference room AV installations. I use a 20v XR for my daily but this would be useful for underneath tables, behind displays and rack work. I cant get behind the switching button for milwaukee otherwise I may consider it more.

Does wrap around handle on m12 get in the way? And does it help it stand up any better.

Bosch has specific names for the American market, which for some reason are always pretty weird. The same goes for Milwaukee over in Europe. The 2912-20 is called the FHX here (Fuel Hammer with fiXtec).

great video guys. I believe these tools are made more for cabinet installation/ assembly and woodworking, but nice to see the field testing

These three drills really impressed us with their durability. These have replaced are daily used drills with much more flexibility.

Great video as usual. I have both but I think I'll be returning the Milwaukee. If you could only have one which would it be?

Thx for the review, quite helpful. The missing belt clip on the Bosch is a big negative for me.

Shamalon, installshin lol thank you for the video

Crazy they use these for 18V applications, im specifically buying one for less power, weight, and compact ease of use

It's pronounced "kuh-MEE-lee-un" like the lizard. I have the M12 and from another review I believe the DeWalt and Milwaukee both got closer to the edge with their offset heads, which is a big deal, and the Milwaukee had easily the best feather control. If you're beating them silly all day, that's probably not a big deal. I keep mine handy with the offset head attached, but it's not my daily driver because it's less powerful than the Surge by a good margin and lacks impact.

I have the bosch brushless and m12 install driver. Bosch missed winning the gold and just totally running away from the competition for 2 simple issues. The light and weird backwards collet design. Just update the light, add a standard stick and click collet and maybe add a tad more power and that’s its. The twist lock tool design and pull out adapter rotation, the forward and reverse location and the locking bit collet on the offset are a big win for me. After you pointed out the slip lock design failure of the milwaukee and dewalt I like it even less now. And the adjustment of the 90 and offset I find to be cumbersome on the milwaukee and I’d imagine the dewalt as they are the same. I really like the form factor of the milwaukee though and the metal drill chuck. At the end of the day these are finishing tools more for finess than raw power. BTW just incase you and your son didn’t realize, when attaching a new tool onto the bosch just make sure the lock/unlock icon is always at the top (where the drive 1/2 selector is)and then turn the icon toward the silver paint indicator. I kind of wish the silver was red for unlock and green for lock but it’s minor. Great review!

Hi guys Any belt clips on the bosch?,thanks for the reviews.

I have the m12 and thought it would be so useful, it ended up being a bit of a flop for me. Every once in a while it's awesome for one specific screw in a tight space however if I'm not in the mood to go get the specific head to drive one screw I can usually just use more extensions or a 1/4 hex drive right angle bit adapter and be better off anyway. The direction button SUX, major fail there lol. It's also the only tool that has bad ergonomics with an XC battery which is a shame because XC batteries really wake the tool up. That's not as a big deal anymore because of the new 2.5ah CP HO batteries but it was before then. Also the wrap around handle is a gimmick, they just wanted to be Festool "cool". (festool came out with this kind of tool first). Anyways the handle/stand doesn't do anything helpful better design couldn't fix. I still use it alot because dang it I own it but it's usually just on conduit reaming duty. If you think I'm just a hater take a look at the euro version of this tool the M12 FPDX. A better design in my opinion

I want one of those tools

ive had the milwaukee u have here and the previous one and i ended up getting the DeWalt because the milwaukee was so annoying with its stupid direction button positioning. the milwaukee is hard to balance when placing on a flat surface which pi$$e$ me off. the other Milwaukee accelerates very slowly . im a milwaukee guy but the DeWalt has more precision when you press the trigger the different torques are well spaced out unlike the milwaukee even in the lowest torque its too much power . the DeWalt is also lighter to carry. so my favourite is the DeWalt even though i was against them lol. Im a locksmith so i deal with a lot of wood and uPVC doors where torque setting and speed is essential WHEN REMOVING 18 SCREWS AND RE APPLYING THEM. good video and nice to see father and son working together

Where is the Hilti?

I really got to give you guys credits for your efforts. I run Milwaukee 12volt Makita 18volt Dewalt 20v/60v Flexvolt Enjoy using all three systems, the fact that each of these manufacturers competitively out does each on certain tools is the icing on the cake!!! I prefer the Milwaukee in this video for better inline hand placement. I actually like the top forward reverse button. If you use the grip where your second last to pinky finger is the trigger finger, the thumb easily reaches the forward revers button❤ Although Bosch puts out some great tools too, I don’t like the hand grip on this particular tool, same with the Dewalt.

Why would you choose the larger of the tools if the only clear benefit over a standard drill or driver is to get into difficult spots? I have a Bosch 12v "pocket driver" that's over a decade old because I needed a tool that could fit into a tight spot, and it's been my go-to for that reason since I got it. I have a different 18v platform for everything else. I'm looking at this multi-head version of that tried-and-true Bosch pocket driver to get into even tighter spots. It's an interesting data point that other, similar tools have more power or whatnot, but at the end of the day, size matters - and in this case, the smaller tool is simply better for what I'd use it for.

Yea I don't know who hired the marketing team for bosch north America, trades and workers want professional tools with professional names and professional performance, Europe names everything better I think, out there they have 18v and 12v versions and they are called flexiclick and the 18 volt version you can buy an sds hammer drill adapter

🦎 chameleon, its the color changing lizard ya dingus

I only have the M12, been happy with it so far😎🛠️😎🛠️😎

I sold my Milwaukee and keep the Bosch. I feel the Bosch just has more what I am looking for. The milwaukee just feels long and bulky. It's also not as balanced as the bosch.

Chameleon ( kə-ˈmēl-yən) 1 1: lizards with prehensile (see PREHENSILE sense 1) tail, independently movable eyeballs, and unusual ability to change the color of the skin 2: a person who often changes his or her beliefs or behavior in order to please others or to succeed She's a political chameleon. 3: one that is subject to quick or frequent change especially in appearance Tourmaline is the chameleon of the gem kingdom because it can assume virtually any color. Might want to expand your vocabulary. This is a common term. 😂

The word Chameleon is Kah-meal-lee-un. It's a lizard dude. That can change colors. Hence why they named a drill that can change its head attachments. Probably the best name of the bunch. Were you being serious?

My dude swung for the fence going for the project farm comparison with 200 someodd likes

I coulda sworn chameleon is a cool little reptile

dewalt needs way more 12v tools, their range is too limited

Kah-me-li-on

DeWalt is best in price, ergonomics. LED much brighter than Bosch

Chameleon is a lizard that can change its color to match its background. The ch is pronounced like a k, kameleon.

Ya really never heard of word chameleon?? Lmao talk about living under a rock lol Good review nonetheless 👍

Chameleon is a lizard that can blend in with multiple surroundings....

The name is "chameleon" (kə-ˈmēl-yən); as in the reptile because it can change.

Lol chameleon 🦎 like the lizard

I wish they would just keep a few bucks and not give a bag that I have to throw away. I don't need a dozen DeWalt purses.

Seem the dewalt has more power thou....

2:12 - the name won’t make sense until you can actually say installation.

Would it have helped if Bosch had spelled it "KAMELION" or" KAMELEON?" No, it's not pronounced CAMEL LION.

Really you wana talk about bag organization on the DEWALT and you don’t even have it organized.. by far the dumbest way to do a comparison
