Good to know. Keep the Deal notifications coming!

I keep expecting these new PC cordless tools to transform into Autobots or Decepticons at any moment. Then there’s the Lego look they also have going on…

The same deal is available at Lowe’s (one of their “new lower price” lies)

Among the $99 drill kits posted in the past few weeks, which would be the best choice for DIY projects around the house? The Bosch, the Dewalt, the Milwaukee M12, or this one? Would any consideration be given the $40 Ryobi drill in Home Depo’s black Friday ad?

Honestly, they’re all going to be good. My first pick would be the Bosch kit, then the Milwaukee M12 kit, then the Porter Cable 20V kit, and then the Dewalt DCD771C2 kit. There might also be a Milwaukee M18 1-battery kit on sale this year, and if so that would be my second preferred choice.
For casual DIYers, the $40 Ryobi drill might suffice. It looks like that kit might be a 1-battery kit version of the P817. Ryobi doesn’t provide torque details for the P817, so it’s likely a low value. Generally, pro-grade 12V drills like from Bosch and Milwaukee out-power the least expensive 18V-class drills like the $40 Ryobi special buy.

I wound up getting one. We have a local hardware store that price matches, so they had the drill and one battery kit for $75 to match another place’s ad, as well as honoring a 25% off any one item. I then ordered the impact driver with two batteries and fast charger from Amazon for the $99 so for under $160 I got the drill, driver, and three batteries for under $160. The two tool combo was a little cheaper but I wanted a battery for each, plus one to charge and I figured this was the easiest way to do it. Playing around with the drill, it seems solid, and hopefully will be a nice upgrade from my older 18 volt NiCad tools. I went with PC because they seemed basic but solid, and the lithium batteries seem to be more reasonably priced compared to some other brands.
