This is a brushed motor version. There is a brushless and more powerful motor version just FYI. I own this brushed version and it is plenty powerful for most work around the house.

Good buy. I have the 12v and 18v bosch line. I always reach for the 12v. Lowes makes these hard to resist. Set a deal alert for 'bosch 12v'... and wait patiently. You can quickly expand your set and get more batteries.

Which set is better - this one or Ridgid set from Home Depot for the same price? We would just use it for light duty work around the home.

The Ridgid deal looks like a 18v. I know nothing about drills… I don't think we even need an impact drill whatever that does

Bosch's brushless are poorer than others: they're not significantly more powerful, they emit an annoying whine, and have difficult trigger behavior. They are certainly not worth 2x the cost, especially with only a 3/8" chuck.

This drill was long wirecutter's recommendation. I agree that they are plenty powerful for most work and they're a joy to use, fitting far more comfortably in my hand than other stick-style 12V systems (e.g. Milwaukee).

The impact is less-powerful than others but still usable for regular screws. My electrician used it *because* it was less powerful to avoid over-torquing and it has an all-rubber front.

In my experience Bosch's 12V batteries have very low self-discharge and are still usable many months after being charged. I have some that are close to 10 years old and still work fine.

I like the GLI12V-300N stick light.

I used to think that impact isn't for me until I used one. Absolutely amazing

I have this 12V version and it is quite nice; it is small and fairly lightwell and I think it works well for its small size. I agree the "must have brushless" isn't a big deal for this -- it works fine as it is.

I also have much bigger 18V ones (other brands, not Bosch) which are definitely more powerful and have more features but significantly larger and heavier. If you are doing something small, I would go for one like this (or the smaller Milwaukee M12).

If you are building a deck or drilling into big beams, they definitely get something bigger. You can get bigger lower-end drills and drill-combos for the same price, but bigger is not always better.

Ridgid's tools are ~2x more powerful and the drill is a 1/2" chuck, which is occasionally necessary. I've heard good things about their Lifetime Service Agreement.

Bosch's are ~2x smaller: my wife will grab the Bosch's every time because she can control them and they're far more comfortable in her hands.

I recommend that first-time purchasers for home use look at their entire needs before committing to a battery system and hold the tools in the store. Both Ridgid and Bosch have a far smaller tool ecosystem than Ryobi, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, etc. Personally, I spend far more time with my cordless blower or string trimmer than my impact wrench, so their availability and features (e.g., MPH/CFM) are higher priority than my drill's max torque.
