It comes in 12V and 18V variants. I have the 12V one (along with matching mini impact and drill) and they're my day to day toolbox tools given they're so much lighter and more compact than the Ryobi. That said, the Ryobi are the best all around value if you're just starting a set, but the Bosch kits aren't too too much more. (Same conglom makes Bosch, Milwaukee and the Ryobis). Believe there are identical sets of the 12V/18V in Milwaukee branded ones which are more common at the Homeless DeathSpot if you're jonesing for the 1 handed recip.
