Our take on the Bosch 3/8" Drill Driver 12V Max (Bare Tool)

The Bosch 12V Max 3/8-inch drill driver is a compact cordless drill sold as a bare tool, so it runs on Bosch's 12V Max batteries that you supply. At about 1.8 lb it is one of the lighter drills in its class, which makes it easy to hold overhead and in tight cabinets. It has a keyless 3/8-inch chuck and a two-speed gearbox for driving screws and light drilling in wood and metal. It suits homeowners and trades who already own Bosch 12V Max batteries; buyers starting from scratch should compare it with kits that include batteries and a charger.

Questions and answers

Does this drill come with a battery and charger?
No. It is a bare tool, so you need a Bosch 12V Max battery and charger, sold separately.
Which batteries fit this drill?
It uses Bosch 12V Max batteries. Older 12V Max packs fit, but check that your charger matches the battery generation.
Can it drill into metal and masonry?
It handles light metal with the right bits. It is not a hammer drill, so masonry needs a separate hammer drill.
Is it worth it over a corded drill?
For small jobs away from outlets, yes. A corded drill gives more sustained power for heavy drilling.
What size bits does the chuck take?
The 3/8-inch keyless chuck takes bits up to 3/8-inch shank, which covers most drill and driver bits.
How does it compare with Bosch's 18V drills?
It is lighter and smaller but less powerful. The 18V line suits heavier drilling and larger bits.
Where is the Bosch 3/8" Drill Driver 12V Max (Bare Tool) cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $109.00, as of our latest check.
