From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Amazon has the Bosch 12v kit on sale for $99. I'd jump all over this if I didn't already have em.

Bosch CLPK22-120 12-Volt Lithium-Ion 2-Tool Combo Kit (Drill/Driver and Impact Driver) with 2 Batteries, Charger and Case

You can thank me later.

Amazon usually has nice deals on Bosch tools every so often. I've had this kit (the earlier version from ~2012 and the updated version I bought this summer) that I really like:

https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-CLPK22-120-Lithium-Ion-Batteries-Carrying/dp/B005GT0IWK

I got that one for $92 in May.

Unless the Ridgid warranty has changed, it's pretty useless for the homeowner who occasionally uses a tool.

It's been a very good deal for me, though. When a battery goes bad I take it to the authorized service center and drop it off. A few weeks later I stop by again to get my replacement battery. (Even if they have a battery in stock, they can't give it to me if I'm invoking the lifetime warranty.)

The only reason I do this is that I have other batteries and I have other drills. It's only a minor inconvenience if the battery or the drill is out of service for a few weeks.

If I could only have one drill, it would be a Bosch 1/2" corded. Next I'd get the Bosch 12V driver/impact driver combo - relatively inexpensive and plenty good enough for just about anything a homeowner would ever use it for. It's $100 on Amazon:

For what you're describing, I would honestly recommend a 12v setup.

I personally would not recommend getting Makita/DeWalt/Milawukee. They will often put their basic drill/driver/impact sets on good sales, but when you want to buy another tool or battery, you'll find they're like twice the price of brands like Ryobi or Ridgid.

Bosch 12v tools are well made and affordable.

Im a little late to the party but id recommend these.bosch 12v i know you dont need the drill but the impact only set is only $10 less and having both is pretty convenient. Coupled with a set of makita impact sockets which are only about $12, and they include a socket adapter. Youd be all set. We’ve had a set of these for about 8 years at my work and they get used every single day and are great. The brushless ones are supposed to be even better but if i had a tighter budget, i wouldnt thing twice about buying another set of these. What you listed isnt really made since by the time impacts came along, cordless was already gaining a foothold, so the market never really developed for them. I have never seen anything that isnt a 1/2” anvil on a corded impact from a big brand. Thats not to say there isnt one out there, but if it something you find on amazon and has a brand name youve never heard of, i wouldnt waste your hard earned money on it.

Don't have an opinion on ryobi, but I've got this 12v Bosch drill/driver set and it's fantastic (Amazon for $99 right now is pretty great: https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-CLPK22-120-Lithium-Ion-Batteries-Carrying/dp/B005GT0IWK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1530290409&sr=8-4&keywords=bosch+ps31-2a&dpID=511SKUOCFcL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch). Wirecutter likes it too. Charge lasts forever, two batteries, small enough to drop into a small toolbox/bag, and plenty powerful for normal homeowner stuff.

I had a cheap Quantum 18v drill (Black & Decker off brand, I think) that has lasted me 15+ years. Still works great and never had a problem with charge, it's the one I use when the Bosch ones start to feel "weak."

I have a little different take on this. What you want is a Bosch 12V combo kit. It has both a drill/driver as well as an impact driver. They share batteries and a charger:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046ZRYPE/ref=psdc_552734_t1_B005GT0IWK

These are perfect for around the house. I use them almost exclusively for work, too. Incredibly powerful for their size, and I can't stress enough how useful an impact driver is.

The Bosch 12V drill + impact with 2 x 2.0A batteries and charger is currently on sale for around $110. I got them for $100 a few days ago and they just arrived. Watched some reviews and it's a pretty good set of small tools. I used it today to fix a table I got from craigslist and it worked really well. It's good enough and I have other tools for small tasks and I have 18V Milwaukee tools for tougher jobs. To start, it's really good. I would really pick a brand and stick with it. Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, and Bosch are my favorite brands. Rigid makes ok power tools but their plumbing tools are top tier.

Here’s a cheap, capable drill/driver combo.

Great, yeah either your drill is not powerful enough or it's out of battery. If it's the former, there are occasional sale on a mini 12v drill/impact drill kit that works pretty well for basic tasks around the house like assembling your furnitures. Both Bosch and Makita have 12v mini kit.

Edit: Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-CLPK22-120-Lithium-Ion-Batteries-Carrying/dp/B005GT0IWK

12v would be more suited for light duty mobile work like that. 18/20v would just be extra weight to haul around. Here is a good comparison of the different 12v drills: http://www.protoolreviews.com/buying-guides/best-12v-cordless-drill-roundup/25102/

I've got the Bosch drill and pocket driver and love them. Almost never use my 18v Dewalt tools any more. They reviewed the brushless version. I went with the brushed because it has more torque. $168 for the combo https://www.amazon.com/CLPK22-120-12-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Batteries-Charger/dp/B005GT0IWK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473956737&sr=8-2&keywords=bosch+12v
