They're either out of stock or took it offline, for $205.00 on this set 202716953 is a great price with $40 off and then submit for 2 slim batteries.

I recent got this Hitachi impact driver from Lowes when it's on sale for $139. It also comes with 2 40-min quick charge batteries with life time warranty. I have used it to build a tornado shelter that needs hundreds of screws. It's a life saver - both.

It is still there. Just do a search for 202716953.
It appears that it shows as available until you actually try and purchase it, at which time the website reports it as no longer available...

My local Home Depot still has a $99 set of Ryobi "compact" (these things aren't terribly compact) drill/driver with two 24Wh packs and the slow (2.5hr) charger.
They are not the newer pack which comes with the better charger and a carrying case. But since I already had a 48Wh pack and fast charger this was a better deal for me (newer pack is $149).
It's Ryobi P897, UPC 033287152971

I work with contractors and most of them have either Hitachi or Dewalt. I have Dewalt and I used Hitachi in my last project. I would go for Hitachi. I havne't used or owned a Bosch drill before. How do you rate this compares to Hitachi or Dewalt? My experience about Ryobi is ok for home use, not good enough for heavy use.

In as much as there's any difference anymore, a Ryobi is not the same level as a DeWalt or Makita. The Bosch seems more Ryobi level than DeWalt to me. Never used Hitachi.

Really? Bosch is Ryobi level?
My 10 yrs old Bosch is TOP NOTCH! I dropped, spilled water on it, etc. (I happen to own Ryobi as well which is DEFINITELY NOT on the same level)
I can use Bosch ALL day without hurting my gripping hand where as Ryobi gives me blisters.
My 18V Bosch is made in Switzerland. (Though I think they are now all made in China just like ALL the other brands - Panasonic and Metabo excluded maybe?)

MADE IN SWITZERLAND ? The best tools in the world are made in Switzerland - absolutely !!! And Bosch is a top notch product - no doubt !

My total with tax comes to approx $107; After I sell the 2 extra batteries from rebate on eBay my net price should be about $55, Not too bad.

The blister thing is a personal one. So one fits your hand better than another, that makes it better for you but not everyone.
And yes, they Bosch is Ryobi level. Or the Ryobi is Bosch level. Whichever you want to say. Honestly all tools in this range work pretty well, ever since the Black and Decker Firestorm (first affordable power drill that wasn't junk) there is a lot less difference between drills. And all of these mentioned including the Ryobi and Bosch are better than my 10 year old Makita is (or was), a drill that still works fine to this day if I could get NiCd batteries for it.
So there's a lot of good choices out there. But if you want to draw distinctions, then yes, the Bosch is more like a Ryobi than a DeWalt.
I guess there's one big difference. The Bosch listed is their lower-end 3/8" chuck model while the Ryobi I mentioned is a 1/2" chuck model.
I'll go look at the Bosch I guess, but I doubt it's built in Switzerland for $99 including 2 batteries. In fact I'd all but guarantee it.
Interestingly, this Bosch is not their higher end model. The higher end model actually is noticeably more compact. But it's also $120 without any batteries or charger.
Look, but what you want but for your $99 you're getting a $99 drill like other $99 drills, no matter who you get it from. It'll do you quite well.

You may want to look in to the quality of the new bosch stuff. I suspect it's no longer made in Switzerland. I am starting to sound like my grand father but... They just don't make things like they use to.

I went to the store to look, Home Depot does not carry Bosch cordless tools in-store anymore. And even more oddly, they sell Ryobi's in both the sickly Ryobi green-yellow color and the dark blue-green with red lettering of Bosch tools! They look exactly like Bosch tools. That's rather strange to me.
Anyway, I couldn't discover where the Bosch tools are made since they don't have them in store. But on the better news front, if you want this deal, it is still on or back on. So you don't have to consider the Ryobi alternative I mentioned at all.
Not only did I find the Bosch kit still $99 on HD's site, but the link at the top shows $99 too. So not expired or it is back from the dead.

I ended up grabbing a hammer drill and impact driver combo kit under the current Bosch promo. Not only was the combo on sale, but the additional $40 off and two free batteries sealed the deal for me.
I ended up getting the #CLPK221-181 combo consisting of a #HDH181 hammer drill and a #25618 impact driver, and two of the 3.0 HC (fatpack) batteries, 30 min quick charger, carrying case, and two more FAR (slim) batteries for under $285.
#25618 Impact driver bare tool - $98 #HDH181 Hammer drill bare tool - $142 (2) BAT619 3.0 HC (fat) battery packs - $86 ea BC630 30 min. quck charger - $70 (2) Bat609 1.3 (slim) battery packs - $49 ea
If you were to buy these individually at Amazon, it would cost you about $580. I paid under half that.
