To tell you the truth, I bought this product partially by mistake. Whether I didn't read enough of the details, or what, I don't know. First of all, I wanted the impact driver. Second, I wanted a fast compact drill. So, when I saw this twin-pack kit I thought "Great! I can get both the drill and the impact driver for a great price!" Except... the drill isn't the one I thought I was getting. What I got is the pocket driver. It uses the quick-change bits and accessories. That's good. But, it's a slow turner...too slow, in my opinion, for small bits, 500 RPM max. It takes a while for small bits to bore through. On the other hand, the slow speed means it has more torque and I found it works great when I want to turn things slow, like larger screws, bolts & nuts. I have more control, and because of its small size I can get into tight places. I'm glad I got it! Great for working on the car or truck, too.
About the impact driver, My construction friends have been telling me for a long time that I need to get an impact driver because it turns in philips-head screws so much more efficiently. After the millionth time of stripping out the screw head or the philips bit, I relented and finally got the driver I've been drooling over. I work with security systems, so I am up and down ladders a lot and sometimes work in tight places. After having it out on several jobs I don't understand why I didn't get one sooner. It's true, it doesn't strip out the heads or the bits. The screw just goes in with no hassle. This tool runs smooth and quiet, and is MUCH lighter than my 18v NiCad drill, (so my pants don't fall off when the drill is hanging from my belt). Oh, and did I say it has a light for working in dark places? Bottom line... I love it!
I'm hooked on Bosch tools and plan to eventually get the drill with the regular chuck (PS30-2A). I also have an indispensable angle driver, PS10-2A, which I also bought from Amazon last year.Get more detail about Bosch CLPK21-120 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Combo Kit.
