Two years ago, I got myself a Bosch Go electric screwdriver. The thing was amazing; it's been on my best electric screwdrivers list ever since, and it's been working incredibly hard on countless projects, indoors and outdoors, and it's still going strong.

Well, the old Bosch Go has gone to a new home because I've picked up a replacement -- the new Bosch Go. So, what's new that prompted me to buy one?
First, the micro USB has been replaced with USB-C. I don't know about you, but micro USB has been out of my life for a long time, and keeping track of a cable for one thing still stuck in the past was a pain. There's also a bigger battery, up to 2.0Ah from 1.5Ah, which is quite a bump and something I appreciate when I've got a long job, or forgotten to put it on charge after the last job.

There's also a ring light on the front of the screwdriver for seeing what you're doing. In the past, I've had to fiddle with the flashlight on my phone or a headlamp. Now the light is exactly where I need it.
