BoschCLPK22-120 12V Max Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit with 3/8 In. Drill/Driver, 1/4 In. Impact Driver, (2) 2 Ah Batteries, Charger and Case

I picked these up because I was being transitioned back into a field tech position at work and I needed a light weight driver. Previously my company had provided techs with 12v DeWalt drill drivers but after a change of management, I didn't have that option available to me. I also wanted something compact because I'm often working on small equipment or in cramped spaces and would have trouble getting a full sized driver where I needed it to go. I tried power screwdrivers but they lacked the torque and speed I needed. A friend of mine who is a professional A/V installer carries the previous generation of the Bosch drill driver and I got a little hands-on time with it. I was very impressed with how light it was and yet how much power it packed. I went on Amazon and saw that Bosch had bumped the power specs and made other improvements so I knew I had to have one. Then I saw the 2 pack with the impact driver. Sold!I've had the pair of them on the job for about a week now and I'm stoked on my purchase. I'm impressed with the life on the tiny lithium batteries. I got a week of moderate use out of the both of them on a single charge. I like the fact that they have battery indicators on them. That will prevent me from potentially going out in the field with a sagging battery. The 30 minute charger will ensure that I have a full charge with minimal notice.Bosch makes two versions of the drill driver. I opted for this one because it's got the traditional chuck so I wouldn't have to get specialized drill bits, etc. The chuck is good. I've had no issues with slippage so far. The torque settings are good. 20 almost seems overkill. It's got good torque by itself and has proven to be a solid high-speed drill, too.I was a little skeptical about the power of the impact driver, having gotten used to having an 18v one at home but I discovered in testing that it's got more than enough juice to rip the head off of some 7/16" bolts. I've torqued numerous rusty bolts free of their moorings with ease. There's a little bit of play in the clip-chuck but not a big beal IMO.My only real wish is that they had bit holders on them. It's nice to have someplace to clip that phillips-head when you switch to a drill bit or socket adapter. That's not enough to make me take off a star, though.

I specialize in concrete retaining walls, and I'm a hobbyist woodworker. I already own the 18v lithium ion drill and impact driver kit from Bosch, and after a few years use, would highly reccomend that as well. I purchased the 12v kit mainly because I was sick of bringing my 18v home from work, and didn't think all the size and power of the 18v was really necessary for my small woodworking projects, or use around the house.The kit I received came in the zippered canvas like pouch, not the L-box. I prefer this as it seems to take up less space. The drill and impactor are plenty compact and feel very solid, but not overly heavy. As a comparrison, the Milwaukee 12v felt set felt almost twice as heavy. Both the drill and driver have a battery life display gauge which is helpful. The led light at the tip of the drill and driver is helpful as well. A fully drained battery will charge in roughly 1/2hr. The impactor comes in at 930 in/lbs of torque which is impressive, and more than adequate for most tasks.As far as function goes, I was blown away! I was in the middle of forming an 80' x 8' concrete retaining wall out dry hardened doug fir 2x10, when the brushes on my 18v impactor went out. I reluctantly decided to bring the 12v impactor in to see if it was up to task. Wow!!! This thing drove 3" galvanized deck screws into hardened dry doug fir with ease, no pre-drilling. It was actually slightly faster and quieter, than its bigger 18v brother. The quantity driven at roughly 50 screws,was about 3/4 of the 18v which I'd expect given the different voltages. The drill performs equally as well. I mainly use it as a dedicated countersink, so i cant attest to its torque. The clutch settings perform as expected, and I have not experienced any chuck wobble.The form factor of both drill and driver is great. I have average sized hands and find both to be very comfortable in hand. I definitely prefer the balance in hand over the 18v. I find myself using my middle finger on the trigger which gives more control. I'm used to carrying the 18v version in my tool belt, and when I threw one of these in instead, I almost couldnt tell I was carrying it. The compact size of both really allows you to get into tight spaces you otherwise wouldn't with an 18v.Overall I was extremely impressed by this kit. Its similar to 18v power in a 12v form. I'd reccomend it to both tradesman and diy'er.

great set... long battery life. works well for cabinets and small projects

I’m glad I picked these up! I used to use a plug in hitachi, but I got sick of switching bits and drivers, also having to plug in. These things can put in WORK for a 12v!!! I’ve used them for at least a year now and currently using them a ton in a bathroom remodel. The drivers are also holding up well to the work. I haven’t noticed any decrease in battery efficiency.They’re smaller and a better size for anyone with smaller hands, mobility or joint issues, or those that work on ladder and don’t want to accidentally drop a bigger drill like an 18v. I have big hands and live these.I’ve lately been investing in more Dewalt, but not a drill or driver yet. I like these so much I’m worried I’ll hate bigger ones, or that they don’t carry something as handy as these.
