FYI Vera Tools, the 3rd party seller in this case, sells used and returns but marks them as new.

$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.

What about the size and weight comparison, i think the selling point here is the size and weight and not torque
my point is not many people keep both 12v and 18v around based on the application. so if one has to choose between 12v and 18v, always go for 18v as it will handle everything that a 12v can and much more. also if getting into tighter spaces are a concern get a right angle adapter like these.
this is a good brushless 18v alternative with 3ah batteries. keep in mind that not all 18/20v batteries are equal. so a 1.5/2ah battery will mean less power/torque than a 3 or 4ah battery.

Same. I've had mine for over a decade. Great for overhead work so I don't tire my arms/wrist.
Certainly not as powerful as my 18v drills, but this set is good enough for the vast majority of interior work.
I made the mistake of choosing Bosch battery powered tools over Dewalt, Ridgid and Milwaukee. A compact drill and a hammer drill, 2 chargers and 4 batteries. Batteries lasted NO TIME, like 1 week after warranty ran out. Not one, not two, but ALL FOUR.
Since then I've bought el cheapo Harbor Freight, DeWalt and Ridgid - all performed much better than Bosch. I can not say enough bad about Bosch battery powered tools. Corded? still the best orbital jigsaw money can buy. But no way on anything cordless.
I've owned these (or the old model) for about 10 years at home and they do nearly everything. The drill does 90% of what you need and mainly is limited by the 3/8" chuck and high torque applications. The weight and balance are good, they feel really solid. I've been running the 1/4" drill driver (non-impact) version at work for about 10 years also and seriously probably only charge the batteries once a year and they are still the originals. The batteries are very good in my experience. I'd buy these again in a heartbeat even with Milwaukee etc having "better" equivalents nowadays; I can't say good enough things about these. I grab these before I grab my new Dewalt drill and impacts.
these are junk..just get a reliable18v tool...its better to have it and not need than need it and not have it.
I've been using mine regularly since June 2019, I haven't had any issues other than needing to replace one of the batteries. At this sale price I'd buy them again over a Milwaukee. I have no hate for Milwaukee either. I have Bosch and Milwaukee tools, both in 18v & 12v variants.
They look super handy. I've got an old black and decker but an looking to upgrade to either rigid, Milwaukee, or Dewalt. But these look really ergonomic.

While i wholeheartedly agree with your review's observations, I personally draw the opposite conclusion.
Many people won't need or want a "tool collection", while nearly every household needs a drill and driver. If so, this is a great, reliable set for a great price.
I have a dewalt 18v battery for the once or twice a year I reach for my jigsaw / impact wrench. I use my bosch drill / driver pretty much every week.
At the risk of sounding like a Bosch shill, regarding their torque/power - I simply don't know what it is people are doing such that they need greater torque. I've even drilled into stucco with a masonry bit with this drill.
If you plan on building your own deck, it might be a stretch. But for your average curtain rod installation or IKEA bookcase build, I guarantee even these "weak" tools are overkill, and you'll find yourself feathering the trigger to avoid busting the screw straight through the melamine.

I agree that these are good tools but want to highlight their limited ecosystem and that a first-time buyer consider their needs. I personally spend more time with my 18V string trimmer, leaf blower, and portable fan. None of those are available in Bosch's 12V. Nor is a circular saw, hedge-trimmer, chainsaw (or mini-chainsaw), etc.
So for my use, if limited to 1 system, I'd choose 18V (likely Ryobi) for OPE (Outdoor Power Equipment) because not having to fuss with a cord or 2-stroke string trimmer is more important to me than having a less cumbersome drill.
Of course, you may not need OPE or are considering a higher-volt system (e.g., EGO), and completely agree if one's needs are limited to a cordless drill/driver this is a great set. The impact is a perfect introduction and I agree that they have surprising power given their size and brushed.
I had to buy another PS22 pocket driver because my wife's smaller hands vastly prefer Bosch's 12V and it's such a joy to use I always reach for it first.

the metabo impact driver above weighs same 2.1 lbs but produces 1800 in/lb torque which is double this one.
