Bosch CLPK241-120 12V Max Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Kit review

Verdict: a two-role Bosch 12V package, not two drills

The CLPK241-120 is a Bosch 12V Max combo kit whose written U.S. package list pairs one PS130 3/8-in hammer drill/driver with one separate PS41 impact driver. The box list also names two BAT414 2.0Ah batteries, a BC330 charger, two 1-1/2-in Power Drive bits and a carrying bag. That makes the kit useful to assess for someone who wants both a conventional drill chuck and a distinct impact driver, but the included PS41 is for driving fasteners, not a substitute drill.

This is a desk-based assessment of Bosch's exact product page, written package list and linked component manuals. No ownership, hands-on use, measured performance, seller stock check or comparative test is claimed. The product page identifies the U.S. model as CLPK241-120 and order number 06019A6A14. A product-page image shows the drill, impact driver, bag and charging hardware; it does not show batteries, so the written Includes list—not the photo—supports the pack count.

Separate the PS130 and PS41 jobs

The PS130 is the kit's actual drill/driver. Its manual documents three operating choices: screwdriving through an adjustable clutch, drill-only operation for non-concrete materials, and hammer-drilling for concrete, asphalt, tile or similar hard materials. It also describes two gear ranges, 0–380 and 0–1,300 rpm, and a 0–19,500 BPM impact rate. These are manufacturer-published specifications and modes, not test results. The manual gives 20 clutch settings; its selector instructions matter because the clutch is for driving, while drilling and hammer-drilling override it.

The second tool is a PS41 impact driver with a 1/4-in hex-shank holder. Bosch's PS41 manual explicitly warns not to use it as a drill: the driver clutch can shut off automatically in drilling-like use. In this kit, the impact driver gives a separate fastening tool, not another chuck, another drilling mode, or proof of masonry capability. A buyer who needs one tool only should count the PS41 as an included extra rather than silently treating it as a drill.

What the PS130's numbers do—and do not—say

The PS130 has a 3/8-in three-jaw chuck. That is the largest supported bit shank opening, not a promise that it can bore a 3/8-in hole in every material. The manual's maximum-capacity table lists 3/4 in for wood, 3/8 in for mild metal and 3/8 in for masonry. Those limits describe manufacturer guidance under its conditions; they do not establish the result in an unknown workpiece, bit design, drilling depth or operator setup. If your work routinely needs a 1/2-in chuck, a larger drill is the clearer fit. If the task is masonry, confirm the appropriate bit, hole size and use instructions rather than relying on the category name alone.

The two-speed arrangement offers a slower low range and faster high range. The manual describes low gear as the higher-torque, slower choice for heavier work or screwdriving, and high gear for faster, lighter drilling. That is operating guidance, not measured torque or a guarantee of runtime. A 2.0Ah pack is part of the listed kit, but no runtime figure is established here; load, bit, material, technique and pack condition all matter.

Package identity and battery checks

Do not collapse CLPK241-120 into another Bosch bundle just because both use a PS130. The separate PS130-2A product page lists the hammer-drill kit with batteries, charger, bits and bag but does not name the battery or charger models in its written package description. CLPK241-120 is the two-tool package: Bosch names the included batteries as BAT414 and the charger as BC330, and adds the PS41 impact driver. The exact part number is 06019A6A14. The Bosch 12V battery/charger list names the PS130 tool family and includes the BAT414 and BC330 families; still check the instructions and labels applicable to the package you receive.

The model is retained as a current-reference listing because Bosch's U.S. combo-kit pages showed the exact CLPK241-120 route in the captured catalogue. That classification describes the research reference, not store availability, seller quality, or the condition of a used or open-box kit. The manufacturer's product record does not establish today's price or what a particular seller will deliver.

Who should consider it, and who should look elsewhere?

Consider the package if a 3/8-in chuck suits your bits, a documented hammer mode matters, you want the named two-battery/charger package, and you would use a separate impact driver for screws or bolts. It can reduce the need to swap a drill bit and driver bit between two tools, but it does not remove the need to select the right bit or control the work safely.

Skip or compare larger options if your essential bit shank requires a 1/2-in chuck, if your routine holes exceed the PS130 manual's stated material limits, or if you need only a drill and would pay for an unused second tool. This page does not provide a head-length measurement for the CLPK241-120 configuration, so it should not be selected as a verified short-head solution. The image also is not proof of complete kit contents, seller condition or battery count.

Before choosing a specific carton

Match the CLPK241-120 model and 06019A6A14 order number, then verify the written contents: PS130 drill/driver, separate PS41 impact driver, two BAT414 2.0Ah batteries, BC330 charger, two Power Drive bits and bag. Inspect the exact delivered condition and any seller substitutions. Confirm that the chuck accepts your intended shank, use the PS130—not the PS41—for drilling, and follow both manuals for the material, bit, gear and mode. The recorded capacities and image are useful comparison facts, not a substitute for that check.
