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.

Agree 100%. Bought my set from Amazon over 5 years ago, and still going strong...

Starting my firs set of tools in collection..howz this one compared to Milwaukee in HD https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwa.../203111686
Milwaukee is about 10% better in both torque and speed and opens a vastly larger ecosystem.

Bosch is more compact, and at least for me, feel far better in the hand due to how their battery is oriented. In my experience, Bosch batteries have longer shelf-life. $10 cheaper.

If you're starting a first set, go to the store and handle them, and consider what other tools you may want. 18V tool lines get into OPE (Outdoor Power Equipment): having a nice string trimmer or blower may save more time than a slightly faster impact. 12V lines often have more hand-tool-replacements like ratchets or multi-tools.

Frankly, I wouldn't go with either as a first homeowner set. Milwaukee's lower-end (i.e., non-FUEL) tools aren't worth the Milwaukee tax, and Bosch is so limited in other tools. I like Ryobi's huge 18V ecosystem.

I always rave about this set. 2+ years and still going strong. Extremely light weight. I just got a milwakee fuel surge set for $140 off marketplace and yes its stronger, and will be compatible with other tools I already had, but I know its not this price for most people.

Pros: Extremely light weight, battery lasts long, charges fast.
Cons: No belt clip. Limited ecosystem.

You shouldn't need to pre-drill holes with the drill b4 using the impact right?

Definitely also consider Milwaukee m12 if you are looking at this. You are limited in additional tools with Bosch 12V.

the impact is a joy to use. I find myself grabbing it the most just due to sheer size and weight. so much easier to get small jobs done quicker.

It depends. If you are using cheap screws, there is a good possibility of splitting the wood, so you would need to predrill holes. If you want to avoid that, use Spax screws.

Of all my tool purchases, this kit is one of my greatest decisions. I install car audio so the smaller/non-adjustable chuck design is better since I can get into tighter places. I also have to change bits continuously and the standard impact/locking you'd typically only see on an impact driver is preferred. I did have to buy some different bit kits to accommodate the new drill so there is a downside if you don't already have some with the right adapter.

The biggest downside is the drill bits, they don't seat as tightly as a typical drill's adjustable chuck. For my work, I'm typically drilling plastic or the occasional firewall/some other part of the body. I'm not having to drill anything which requires precision.

The convenience/ease of use is where these shine, I also use them for 90% of my around the house/DIY work but they aren't always up for the task. I have the Bosch 18v kit as well when I need more than these can handle, if I only had 1 kit I'd get the 18v since they're more versatile, but these make a great second set which handle most of the work. They're light & compact, using a drill all day gets tiresome with the 18v.

It depends on softness of the wood and size of the screw. I always pre-drill hard wood, to prevent cracks.

I have this set from years ago and also have the Dewalt 20V combo. I am amazed at the power and comfort these small lightweight Bosch handhelds produce. The batteries might discharge quicker, but when charged they are plenty powerful enough for sinking screws including Tapcons.

The description say 1 battery and also say 2 batteries included, so what is actually included in this kit. I think i will get this for the light weight and small size.

nothing beats an 18v/20v with 4ah battery in terms of power and battery life. brushless versions are more compact and its not that much bigger/heavier than 12v brushed tools like these.

for light duty work with screws here and there around the house these will be ok but will quickly turn into a toy for more involved work if there ever comes a time. it would be ideal to have both 12v/18v tools around but if i had to choose i would always go with 18v. like i said, its good to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

for comparison, the impact driver here is rated at 930 in/lb. a competent 18/20v brushless impact driver with a 4ah battery will be rated at 2200+ in/lb...........

What about the size and weight comparison, i think the selling point here is the size and weight and not torque
