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 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.
Bottom line: if you need drill/driver - get it. You won't regret.

This set was $100 2 years ago and they had a $20 of $100 Bosch promotion and a discover 20% off coupon making my set $65 after taxes. Very happy with this set.
For smaller screws, where finesses matters, use a drill. For larger screws and lags, an impact driver.
If you ever want to do something more, then you're going to wish you had the Rigid.
I've had this Bosch set for years and still love it. But If I was only going to own One set, I'd go with the Rigid 18 Volt because it's more powerful and versatile.
A have lots drill bits and accessories that won't fit in the 3/8" Bosch.

Close to one year later, the screwdriver, a battery, and the flashlight all broke. He still uses the impact. Not impressed anymore.
