So I'm at the local hardware store and they have this DeWalt 20V MAX XR compact drill kit on clearance. It's the DCD791D2 with two 5Ah batteries and a charger for $99. I've been looking at these for a while and normally they're like $200+. Is this a steal or is there something wrong with it? Should I grab it before someone else does? Need advice quick!!

lol Hank, if you're asking here, you probably already missed your chance to think it over - that's a steal! I have that exact model and it's a beast. The XR line is solid. $99 is less than what some people pay for a single battery. Even if you hate the drill, you could sell the batteries and make your money back. Go back and get it NOW!

What Sarah said. That's a genuine bargain. I've had my DCD791 for 3 years now, still runs like a champ. Only thing to watch for is if it's a refurb or a returned unit - but even then, at that price it's a no-brainer. If you're really concerned, check the serial number and give DeWalt a call to verify warranty. But for $99, I'd be loading that into my truck before the guy at the checkout knows what hit him.

Well dang, y'all are right. I called the store and put it on hold, heading there now. Thanks for the quick replies! I'm kinda new to the "big boy" tools, so I appreciate the insight. Gonna be my first XR model - any tips for a newbie?

Congrats Hank! You're gonna love it. First tip: get some quality bits - those cheap ones will strip screws like crazy. Second tip: if you're drilling into concrete, use a hammer drill setting, but don't overdo it, that'll wear the chuck. And finally, invest in a spare battery if you're gonna do heavy work - even though you got two, they drain fast if you're driving big screws. Welcome to the slippery slope of tool collecting!
