An impact driver also drills at a constant speed as needed and draws upon the bursting action when the driver senses resistance in the work material."
A driver is kind of like a drill in regards to the mechanism running it. A regular driver really shines on assembly projects since it has a clutch that set to diff levels to keep from over driving screws. A good driver such as this equally as good at drilling. It's really kind of a catch all tool and for a lot of people may very well be the only one they need.
That being said, I'm sure there are several engineers waiting to hand me my entrails and some trolls to take care of the rest....

Drill: has a 3-jaw chuck to accept any bit, hex or round, up to 3/8" shank. Also has an adjustable clutch that, when using to drive screws, allows you to dial in a controlled and repeatable torque for precision driving of small to medium sized screws.
Pocket Driver: Basically the same as the drill but with a 1/4" quick change chuck. This makes it smaller and more convenient than the drill, but limits you to 1/4" hex bits.
Impact driver: Much like the pocket driver, but loses the adjustable clutch and adds powerful rotational impacts for driving in larger screws. You get more oomph, but it lacks precise control for driving smaller screws.

It won't suit those looking for a first-tool set, you'd much rather have a chucked-drill and an impact, like the other kits posted here. The chucked drill can do everything (and more, like running 3/8" twist bits) this can, at the sacrifice of convenience in bit-changing and compactness.
At $80 and for installation-driver use, it's tempting to look at Bosch's GSR12V-140FCB22 installation driver. Yes, it's $60 more but the accessories are very useful. The sale price used to be $80 for this PS21, 2 batteries/charger, plus the PS41 impact you could sell for $40. I'm skeptical Bosch's $100 kits remain a good value when there are much better kits for $50 more, like DeWalt's DCK275C2 or Metabo's KC18DBFL2CM.
That being said, if you're looking for an installation driver, can't go wrong with it. I've worn out a PS20 and PS21, and prefer my PS21 to my PS22 and Milwaukee 2505-20. I use it for holes <1/2", for screws where I'm too lazy to get the impact, and any assembly. For you old people, this is your 7.2V/9.6V Makita in significantly smaller packaging. Oh, and if I can't find it, it's because my wife's stolen it; it's the only one of my drills she's comfortable using.
The installation driver is amazing for a lot of the things I do with t-slot/v-slot linear extrusions. But that's usually the only time I use the tool. But, for that particular function, I'm yet to find a better tool.
And tbh, if not on the Bosch 12v platform, you really should be, as they have the best 12v system I've tried (and I've tried all the better names). The only 12v tool that Bosch has, that you DON'T want, is that sander... yeeesh. That was a bad call from Bosch lol. Their 18v version they came out with this passed year has been amazing in value. But the fact that it resembles the 12v sander makes my brain cringe for a split second every time I see it. Lmao.
I have dropped mine so many times and it has not broken, though one time I dropped it from 10 feet up onto concrete and it disengaged a bunch of the gears and I had to disassemble and reassemble it. I charge my two 12-V Bosch batteries maybe once a year and I have never run out of juice in any project. Considering this driver and the batteries are stored in a very hot and humid Florida garage this is easily one of the best engineered items in my home.
