Amazon has Bosch 12V Max Li-Ion Drill/Driver & Impact Driver Combo Kit w/ 2x Batteries, Charger & Case (CLPK22-120) on sale for $92.85. Shipping is free.
Thanks to Community Member fewlio for finding this deal.
At this price, you can get over the brushed bc that work fine, and you can rig the drill up to predrill for the screws you driving w / the impact, it great deal you can't beat it
FYI Vera Tools, the 3rd party seller in this case, sells used and returns but marks them as new.
Check previous threads here or here for discussion.
$93 is a good price and it's not worth paying extra for the brushless versions. The impact is weak (though electrician said he was using it *because* it would not overdrive). Bosch's 12V ecosystem is limited, especially compared to Milwaukee's.
They're very comfortable and ergonomic. The batteries have long shelf-life (low self-discharge).
This drill had long been wirecutter's recommendation but has been supplanted by DeWalt's 12V Extreme[amazon.com], and as much as I love my PS20/PS21 pocket driver, I agree their time as passed and I'd look elsewhere if you're starting a tool collection.
I have this set from a few years ago, different seller. I tend to use it more then my heavy duty 18v setup because it's light, and has plenty of power for most jobs.

Understood. But, 2 tools and batteries and charger, you can then get the compact reciprocating saw and just set up the sawing point at your hip and *lean* on it, it's effortless. Those rifle size and shape one, have the saw point so far forward with such long blade, it shake you silly and give you a real workout just trying to hold and control it! So I recommend this route..plus the brushed version sold and shipped by amazon? confused..

Ordered one for my motorhome, so I would always have it. Ordered yesterday, came this morning, various seller options. Got mine directly from Amazon, no third party.
Amazing little drill and driver at an amazing price.
I have the two drivers version for about 10 years, very comfortable to use around the house. I use them more than my big DeWalt tools. I just bought this set from previous deal at $89, as a spare, especially with two new batteries.
Picked this same set up off Amazon for $89 a couple months ago. I already had the drill, so I sold the extra for like $45. Mainly wanted the set for the batteries and the impact drill. Very happy with it all and the quality is great.

Thanks, I've been looking for something to saw my hip with.
