I bought this a couple of weeks ago on ebay for $148 delivered with 2 lithium ion batteries, charger and a nice nylon carrying case. One of the guys at work had one this summer and I used it a few times and was impressed enough to get one. I bought a fancyass beltless nylon toolbelt and there is no way to hook up a holster for a screwgun to it. My old standby panasonic keeps falling out of the side pouch and its getting to be a major pita. They advertise it as stronger than a 18v impact, but my 5 or 6 old tired 12v panasonic is still faster and more powerful. I have driven a bunch of 3 inch screws with the panasonic that the bosch won't pull out. I wouldn't say its an ideal tool for constant use, but to carry around all the time it is real light and powerful enough most of the time. Don't buy one for constant production type use, or if you need something for around the house, but it is great to carry around most of the time
