COMPACT DRIVERS

Oct 1, 2006 12:00 PM

BOSCH ANNOUNCES two new compact drills/drivers — Pocket Driver and I-Driver. Both new products are powered by Litheon, a lithium ion battery technology.

Small enough to fit into a tool belt pouch, Bosch's new 10.8v Pocket Driver measures 6 × 6.5 in. and weighs less than 2 lbs. (with battery). The small size doesn't mean small power: The Pocket Driver can drive 100 3-in. screws per charge and drill holes up to ½ in. in diameter.

You can use Bosch's new Litheon 10.8v I-Driver to work between studs, behind fixtures, near pipes and next to ductwork. The compact driver has a five-position, 90∞ articulating head that adjusts with a click of a button. With a head length of only 3.5 in., the driver allows access into tight work spaces.

Prices: $129.99 for the Pocket Driver, and $149.99 for the I-Driver. Contact Bosch Power Tools and Accessories, Dept. FIN, 1800 W. Central Rd., Mount Prospect, IL 60056, 877/267-2499, visit www.boschtools.com or www.freeproductinfo.net/fin, or circle 193.
