You can use a drill to do the same but you have the chuck to deal with when swapping bits or you have to use a quick change bit holder. The size and weight of this unit is much smaller and lighter than a drill.
The advantages over a drill are:
Size
Weight
Quick Change Bit Chuck
The advantages over an impact are:
Weight
Clutch Adjustment
Fine tune motor control
Obviously you don't want to use this in an application where you would need a drill or impact. This is a specialty tool that has a specific purpose.

Think of an impacts quick change chuck with a drills internals but only the low speed. It has a clutch to adjust tension. It is great for things you don't want to strip out that are delicate. We use them for cabinet hinges, door knobs, etc. it has become a favorite of mine for things I don't want to use a handheld screwdriver for but can't risk stripping out the treads.

I assume you have to buy the charger separately? Kind of weird they don't include one, they're generally not that expensive.
