Ten minutes after unboxing the compact kit, the integrated cylinder and charger are already in place ready for a first build. Bosch PSR Select Drill pairs a 12-tip rotating cylinder with EasySelect control to speed up small DIY and flat-pack tasks.
⚡ At a Glance
- • Screwdriving Efficiency: Integrated 12-tip cylinder and EasySelect let you swap heads quickly; up to 90 screws per battery charge
- • Tailored for: Home DIYers and flat-pack assemblers who value rapid bit changes and compact cordless operation
- • Overkill for: Full-time installers who need continuous screwing throughout a day, because the ~90-screw battery capacity forces frequent recharges and breaks the workflow
Integrated cylinder stores a dozen common tips, including an IKEA bit, while the EasySelect window makes picking the right tip fast. Lithium-ion chemistry avoids memory effect and keeps the tool ready between uses.

Integrated bit cylinder and the speed factor
The rotating cylinder houses 12 commonly used tips, letting the Select function index a new head without digging through a pouch. Direct impact: changing heads takes seconds, which cuts assembly time on repetitive tasks.
Rapid tip swaps keep momentum during small projects and reduce tool handling. Trade-off: the cylinder accepts a limited set of heads, so keep an external selection for specialised fastenings.
Solving fiddly selection with EasySelect
EasySelect puts a visible, illuminated window over the indexed heads so the required tip is clear at a glance. In a cluttered garage, the lighted view prevents fumbling and keeps one hand free for positioning.
Clear selection speeds up jobs where frequent head changes are needed and reduces mistakes. For beginners, the intuitive selector removes the need to judge tip orientation by feel.
Mastering tight tasks via compact dimensions
Compact measurements of 157 mm height, 150 mm width and 53 mm depth produce a tool that reaches into narrow cupboard interiors and cramped shelf backs. If you are fitting units in confined spaces, the small footprint keeps access manageable without awkward angling.
A short, tidy body makes overhead and inside-cabinet screwing much easier, and the included Micro USB charger keeps recharging simple. If you plan long, continuous screwing sessions, the roughly 90-screw charge will require pauses to recharge or to swap to another power source.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is the tool charged and what is included with the charger?
A: A Micro USB charger is included in the accessory list, so the tool recharges from a USB source; keep an extra charging cable to avoid downtime during longer sessions.
Q: What bits come with the kit and are common bits supplied?
A: A 12-bit set ships with the tool, including a dedicated IKEA tip alongside common heads, and the integrated cylinder stores those supplied tips for quick use; store any additional heads in a small organiser so specialised fastenings are always at hand.
Q: Does the drill include alignment aids such as a laser guide?
A: A laser guide is not included and there is no dimmer switch, so mark pilot positions with a pencil or a simple centre punch for precise starts on tricky fastenings.
🏆 Our Verdict
Suitable for weekend DIYers and anyone assembling furniture who values speed and tidiness. The rotating tip cylinder and EasySelect window give an almost tactile reassurance when changing heads, with the selector clicking and the illuminated slot making choices obvious under a workbench lamp. Given the included accessories and robust lithium-ion chemistry, the tool represents solid long-term value for home use where occasional recharging is acceptable.
