If you remember from our best 18v cordless drill kits for $99 post, the Milwaukee M18 2606-21CT kit hits the magical ~$100 price point only during certain times of the year.
This drill kit, which comes with Milwaukee’s regular M18 brushed motor drill and not a cheapened one – to my knowledge – first appeared last April, just ahead of Father’s Day. I figured it would be back around the holiday season, and here it is.

$99 gets you a good drill, a single 1.5Ah Li-ion battery pack, a charger, and hard-shell carrying case.
The Milwaukee M18 2606 drill delivers up to 500 in-lbs, which is respectable for a compact cordless drill.

If red isn’t quite your color, and you don’t mind giving up some power, Bosch’s DDB181 18V drill kit dropped in price to $99 again recently. It’s a very compact cordless drill at entry-level prices, and you get (2) Li-ion battery packs for the price.
The Milwaukee drill is more heavy duty, the Bosch kit might give you a little more in terms of low and medium duty runtime since you get two batteries instead of Milwaukee’s one.

Thank you to Nelu for the heads-up!

Can’t go wrong either way, these are both great DIYer drills if you want/need a compact 1/2″ drive 18V tool.

Milwaukee really needs to sell this kit with 2 batteries. The other brands seems to be able to make it happen for the 99 dollar price point.

They do have this drill in a 2-battery kit… for $179.
