I've been eyeing this set for awhile. It was $157 back in Feb and now it's down to $149 at Amazon. I think it's a pretty good deal.

They are nice but not worth 50% more then the regular set.

Stop wasting time and get them instead, you'll not regret.

I was looking at the same a few years ago and kept seeing the regular set going on sale a few times a year and did research and found very little difference for alot more price.

Glad I'm still not waiting ion hese to drop another $25-30 where they should be like I was over 3 years ago!

They should be regular priced in the $125 range by now, and even more reason after owning the regulars not to wait or over pay.

My 2 cents..

Post photo is incorrect. It shows the impact driver and hex driver, rather than impact driver plus drill/driver.

I have the impact driver and the previous generation of brushless drill/driver, and they're both great. They're great tools, and the batteries last incredibly long.

This is a good deal on quality tools. I own about 6 tools in their 18 volt range. BUT if you intend to buy more tools in the 12 volt ecosystem I'd definitely consider spending a bit more on the Milwaukee 12 volt ecosystem. They have so many tools available for that ecosystem and awesome batteries. Just looking for a drill and driver then I think this is great.

Bosch 12V - Brushless Drill/Driver and Impact Driver Combo is on sale on Amazon for $149. Shipping is Free.

Last popular deal for this combo was $139. So ~$10 less, but this is the best price I could find.

Hope this helps someone. Thanks.

I went and read through comments on last deal post and most of the comments were for the brushed version. It would be great if anyone can share their thoughts on this brushless combo. Dont want to get into Brushed vs Brushless debate. My my research, the drill is about an inch shorter. Impact has 2 speed setting and light control. Both these tools are 0.2 lbs lighter. Thanks

I'm guessing the Milwaukee 12v of these are better based on some comments here?

This is a true and up-to-date pair of professional tools.

On the drills, the clutch and triggers are similarly excellent, but the size difference and quick responsiveness of the brushless version is a couple steps better. On an already compact tool, that 1" in length is dramatic. 1300rpm on the decade-old PS31 was adequate, but the 1750rpm on this GSR-12v-35 drill is downright zippy.

As for impacts, the old PS41 was a capable, if not too fast. It was also somewhat loud and poor on battery life for a standard impact, at least judged by today's standards. This PS42 is light years ahead with significantly improved battery life, better trigger finesse and multiple speed settings.

Between the two you can accomplish just about any task that isn't mixing mud buckets or hammer drilling. In considering whether this is a deal, the PS42 rarely goes much below $100 as a bare tool.

If you can afford the extra ~$50-60 vs waiting for the brushed set to go on sale again, I advise to get this one, enjoy working with great tools and don't waste a precious moment second guessing the decision.

Got this set from Lowes a few months ago when it was $89, excellent so far, no complaints. Love the impact driver.

$50 ain't going to make me or break me so in for 1. Thanks and repped.

My 18v DeWalt combo set has served well over the last 20 years, but often times overkill for the task at hand so this will be a nice upgrade for regular jobs around the house.

I picked the cheaper set at Lowes for 99 minus 20 coupon. Brushless would be nice but I'm not sure double the price. Nice tools though

Anyone know how these compare to DeWalt Xtreme 12v in terms of Size/comfort/weight? Thanks

I have this brushless set. Both tools are small, compact, and handle great. The drill is powerful enough for my needs. The impact driver is okay for light duty - it struggled with 2.5 inch screws where my Ryobi ONE+ brushless driver handled that with no hesitation.
