Bosch GSR 12V-15 FC Professional 06019F6001

Small screwdriver with two chucks

The Bosch GSR 12V-15 FC Professional screwdriver has a very interesting design. It is equipped with two cartridges at once: quick-clamping and for a bit. The first of them allows the use of equipment with round shanks with a diameter of 1 - 10 mm. Under it is hidden a chuck for a bit - a shaft with a hexagonal hole with a built-in magnet, into which bits or other nozzles with shanks of the appropriate shape are inserted. Thanks to the FlexiClick mechanism, cartridges are changed quickly (the process takes no longer than a couple of seconds) and without the use of keys (the cartridge is simply placed on the body and rotated until it clicks). The same mechanism ensures the compatibility of this screwdriver with other elements of the FlexiClick system - angled and eccentric nozzles necessary for drilling holes and tightening fasteners from particularly hard-to-reach places (these adapters can be purchased separately by searching for them in the Bosch tool accessories catalog). But it should be noted that the FlexiClick quick-lock mechanism has insufficient rigidity, which is why the fixation of the drill chuck is not always reliable (it sometimes comes unfastened during the replacement of the drill or adjusting the tightening torque). In the configuration with the keyless chuck removed, the screwdriver is only 132 mm long. Such a short body allows you to work in narrow and cramped places where a larger tool will not fit.

Pretty good for such a kid.

The HeavyDuty inscription on the nameplate means that the Bosch GSR 12V-15 FC Professional is designed for intensive work (which, however, is typical of all "professional" Bosch screwdrivers). It has a decent (by the standards of this class of tools) torque - 30 Nm. The gears of the two-speed reducer are made of metal (many manufacturers make the gears plastic for the sake of economy). The screwdriver can drill holes up to 19 mm in diameter in wood (up to 10 mm in metal) and drive self-tapping screws up to 7 mm thick. Among other interesting features, I would like to note the presence of a backlight (with an afterglow function) and low weight (1 kg with a drill chuck installed or 800 g without it). In this configuration, the tool comes with two batteries (with a capacity of 2 Ah), a charger for them and a capacious plastic case L-BOXX with liners.
