Bosch GXL12V-220B22 12V Max 2-Tool Combo Kit with 3/8 In. Drill/Driver, 1/4 In. Hex Impact Driver and (2) 2.0 Ah Batteries

I've been quite a Makite-snob for the majority of my life. I know Bosch products have a great reputation for quality and dependability...after watching several YouTube videos on these drills I decided to give it a try. I actually bought two sets of these, one for a gift and the second for us. After I charged them we put them to the test. We drove multiple 3" screws into various woods to see if the impact driver could handle basic tasks...it did with ease. We then continued increasing the length and diameter of the screws just to find it's limits. In the end, we were screwing 10", 1/2" lag bolts into pressure treated posts and the impact driver performed flawlessly to my surprise! We were initially using our 18v Makita impact driver assuming the 12v Bosch would not even come close until the Makita battery died. Rather than wait for our Makita to charge, we decided to give the Bosch a try...to our surprise, the Bosch actually was able to drive the 10" bolt 80% of the way into the pressure treated post! We built a pergola over the past week and we used a combination of both the Makita and the Bosch drills...the Bosch performed fantastically! These drills are an absolute MUST for every homeowner and even professional contractors. Let's be honest, 98% of the jobs we do around a house are not focused around driving 10", 1/2" lag bolts into pressure-treated wood; most jobs are hanging pictures, doors, windows, etc. These drills are lightweight, perfectly balanced, fit great in both my hand as well as my wife's hands and are less cumbersome to carry than my Makita. We find ourselves reaching for the Bosch over the Makita when it comes to general DIY projects around the house just for the size, weight and portability, and overall power of them. I'm still hooked on my Makita but Bosch has absolutely found a permanent place in our workshop and we will now continue buying additional Bosch and Makita products as needed.

Update: Just adding another testament - I recently completed a rebuild of my porch steps and used this set quite a bit for pre-drilling and then driving in deck screws. The battery life and power are pretty amazing on both tools, with the impact driver handling nearly 150 3-inch screws into pressure treated lumber on a single charge. ***initial review*** I've had this set for a few months now and can't find anything to complain about (rare for me). I was originally looking for a smaller drill to replace an old, massive Porter Cable cordless drill. Saw this set on sale with a free set of driver bits and thought, what the heck, I'll probably never use the impact driver but why not? Turns out I was wrong - I use the impact driver all. the. time. Just installed an over the range microwave, a project that involved drilling pilot holes as well as driving in large wood screws and bolts. This set made that a breeze, with the tools' compact size being a significant advantage. Long story short, this is a good set for the average DIYer. The tools are relatively lightweight yet still pack some power. The lights are a nice touch, the ergonomics are good, and the batteries hold their charge a long time. My only regret is that I didn't buy something like this earlier. I fought with that old Porter Cable for far too long.

Excellent set. Needed an impact drill for a while and this unit delivers great performance.

I use these as an aircraft mechanic and among my coworkers with many different drills these definitely stand out. Screws on airplanes are never really tight but they often have stripped heads.That is where the impacting bit driver is perfect. The hammering action starts with very little resistance from the screw which is not true of higher voltage impacts. The hammering action almost pounds your phillips bit deeper into the screw and after about a second of gentle but firm hammering the screw is free. I will only use the impact to remove stubborn almost stripped screws as when installing it has no adjustment and will over torque them to quickly. The RPM on the impact is just ridiculously fast but still easy to control. Its also great to use it for nuts and bolts on projects not airplane related with a 1/4 inch drive socket to bit adapter to just snap on sockets. I read reviews saying they received drills with a wobbly chuck. Mine is straight. the drill has good speed for drilling sheet metal in second gear and good torque in first gear. The adjustable clutch works like it should. I have it on 5 most the time and it places the screws with equal torque. These drills came with the higher MAH batteries. (2.0 amp hour) and the slow charger which takes one hour to fully charge a dead battery. The quick one takes 30min so not a huge difference. The only negative I have on the drill is its locking chuck that locks when you are off the trigger seems to turn about an eighth of a turn before actually locking this can sometimes be annoying as I often break the torque by twisting the whole drill before pressing the trigger. I am learning you can press the trigger to take up this slack then twist the drill. Its fine just takes some time getting used to. What makes these great is the size I get to use my drills way more often and get jobs done faster than my coworkers because their drills just wont fit in the space or inside the panel. I charge the batteries about every two weeks because I only use them for delicate light duty aircraft screws they seem to last forever. If the drill battery dies in a job I switch it with the one from the impact which gets used less then charge both batteries a few days after that. I really want to get another drill only for use around the house. It comes close to replacing the common hand held screwdriver because their size, grace and ease of use.

When it comes to battery powered drills for the DIYer, this is a very good drill/impact driver set. Very good quality, haven't had it very long, only a few months. When it comes to battery powered drills, smaller and lighter is better at getting into tight spaces, this is the ticket. I couldn't believe this was on sale for $100. I didn't really need a new drill, but mine is a little old and heavier, but still works. I'm happy I spent the money on this set.

Awesome set for easy home use. Have this same kit in the states so ordered it for our home in Scotland. Only issue I had was the plug converter didn’t work so had to buy a UK Bosch charger.

من افضل دريل 12v قوة جباره بموتور بدون فحمات ولكن ياتي بشاحن 120v 60hz اعجبني

Great value, but be aware this drill doesn't have a hammer mode to drill through masonry. Also needed to buy an appropriate charger when importing to the UK

I had the 12-year-old bosch 18V drill and hammer drill -- plus the jigsaw. Very solid good equipment -- and very heavy. Batteries finally truly gave out but it doesn't owe me anything -- and they look like they went through a war anyway. This combo set is fabulous. The impact driver is amazing -- plenty of power and both tools are so light you don't even notice the battery. I'm super impressed and for a normal homeowner this kit is a great addition to the toolbox. The LED is really nice to have, and the drill has a great ratchet mechanism. I'm really pleased with this kit. I'll add the 12V jigsaw soon too.

This is my second purchase of a BOSCH drill/driver, and once again, I am thoroughly impressed. The quality of their drills and screwdriver is truly professional-grade, boasting precise variable speed control, a lightweight design, and a comfortable handle. Though it may be a bit more expensive, the exceptional quality justifies every penny spent. There was an issue with one of the two batteries, as it arrived faulty. However, Amazon and BOSCH's exceptional customer support came to the rescue. They promptly assisted me in verifying the serial numbers and provided a hassle-free replacement. I feel lucky to have chosen to buy BOSCH through Amazon. Highly recommended!
