That said, this is fine for $99 and if someone is just screwing stuff in or drilling a couple holes a year then I can see brushless not mattering. Just depends on use case.

Overall it's very good for the average homeowner. I'd consider myself an intermediate-advanced DIYer and it gets through everything I need (sometimes a little slowly but thats ok for the price). It's also relatively compact so you can get it under cabinets/sinks etc nicely.
The only issue I have is that the chuck on the drill is not the most secure - I find that it does loosen occasionally if I don't tighten it down perfectly. I have a separate Milwaukee drill that doesn't have this issue, but its slightly heavier so I still use the Bosch most of the time.
If all you need to do is hang a few pictures or put together furniture, this unit is more than capable.
Agreed. I have this kit as well. Only complaint is the batteries stopped taking a charge pretty early on. I got one replaced under the warranty. When the other went bad I bought an after market one for $20 or so.

The battery will die before this drill dies imo.
