I remember seeing a small Bosch (I think) cordless screwdriver with a pivoting head that I wanted to put on my xmas list but now I can't seem to find it on the internet. It was a flashlight shape as opposed to a pistol grip shape, and had a rotating head. Am I remembering it wrong? Maybe it was a different brand? The reviews were all great, but now I can't find any reference to it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? (Does anyone ever? :) )

That's it. Thanks. Wonder why it doesn't turn up on Google, I must just be entering wrong search criteria. Do you have a model number? Anyone else have one and like it?

My local Home Depot doesn't seem to carry ANY Bosch tools any longer. I'm having trouble finding this so if anyone has a model number or a link, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

The model number TerryLL posted appears to be correct. It appears to be model PS10: http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/Pages/BoschProductDetail.aspx?pid=PS10-2
Note: for some strange reason that website generates a login pop-up. If you also get that pop-up just click cancel twice and you'll get to the page.
Available for Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=bosch+PS10&x=0&y=0

Thanks guys. Can't get the Boschtools link to work at all, but the amazon link does. Seems there might be two different ones, or a new/old model. One is 10.4 volts and the other is 12v and called an impact driver. Same animal?

These are OK, too, have a bit more torque.

My impression is that Bosch is in the process of phasing out the PS10-2 and replacing it with the PS10-2A. Since the 2A is only a little bit more money (from Amazon) and is higher voltage (that is the only actual difference I could see in the specs) I think I would go with the 2A or with a reconditioned 2 which is a lot cheaper than a new 2 or 2A.

The Bosch can be used in the same orientation as a regular screwdriver, the Makita is essentially a right angle drive tool.

I'd have loved one on my last job ...I haven't seen them here so I bought a right angle drive for my 12 v Makita .

I just bought one to aid in a tight installation next week. I have the Bosch 10.8V driver in the T handle version and love it, so I didnt think twice about getting the povoting head one.

Quick review after spending the last couple hours using it to load equipment racks:
So far, so good. It has an electronic trigger and an electronic clutch, and both took a little getting used to. The pivoting head is nice and locks securely into place. Ergonomics and weight balance are good. Tons of torque- much more than I expected. Battery life is fantastic.

Ditto to that; no such thing as too many toys on the Xmas list :D
The more there are the better chance of scoring.
