This drill/driver is my most used tool around the house. I own all major brand, both 12v and 20v. But when it comes to conveniences, this Bosch tool is a pleasant to use. I don't use the Bosch oscillator though, it's starlock blade only.

The set is a good deal just for the driver kit. The oscillator tool being Starlock only makes it hard to justify using.

Not for these tools, maybe the impact wrench and basic driver, but not the chameleon with the oscillating multitool.

Bought this on a similar deal last year.
Can't recommend it more. It's a great set that I use all the time although I mainly use the chameleon tool.

People complaining about Starlock there is tons of adapters and converters you can buy to use any other system with Starlock so I don't really understand the complaint when every tool has it's own special system but there is converters and adapters to make them all cross compatible for cheap...
I don't use it often enough for it to matter as I've gone through a total of 1 Starlock oscillating blade in a year so the cost is pretty irrelevant to me but the tool worked great for it. I shouldn't even say I've gone through a blade as I'm still on the first one but it cut through some steel bars fantastically.
It also does a good job sanding as it has low speed settings for lazy hand sanding equivalent to not wreck more fragile sanding jobs.

I wish we had a similar deal but on the M12 side. I don't want to add another battery platform / charger to my setup.

If you use an oscillating tool more than a few times the starlock with the need of an allen key will become super frustrating and annoying. Allen keys have a way of getting lost when you need them and there is no onboard storage for one. Quick change blade systems are the only way to go if you use one with regularity.

This is a weird combo in my humble opinion and I think the set linked below gives you much more value and is much more useful for the average homeowner, someone new to tools or professional. You get an impact driver and drill and as you said you may find little use for the saw but I can assure you will for the impact driver. You will end up using the impact more than the drill/driver if you try one. The Bosch impact driver is my number one used tool in both contractor and homeowner settings. It can be used for putting on cabinet hardware or hanging cabinets or taking apart a computer case yet able to drive a lag or 3" screw when need be. I even use it to spin spade bits for electrical work.The brushed set of the combo used to get down to $99 on occasion and may do so again.

I bought this combo 4 months ago at this price. Great deal. The starlock adapters don't work all that well though. There are several and most of them are Chinese knockoffs, that after a few uses of an Allen wrench, started to warp the keyhole on mine

The starlock blades themselves are nice quality. Difficult to justify the price yes, but if you're using the oscillating tool once or twice a year the blades will last awhile.

I got the space gun for 109, no multi-tool.

Get the drill and driver kit you linked as it is a much more useful set. Can always get a corded oscillator for dirt cheap if you do need one and it all will still be cheaper than the combo in this deal.
