Not a good deal unless you already own batteries for this model.

@crethwilm: It's funny the relationship between the cost of the device and the batteries. I have a 9.6v dewalt drill that needed batteries, but they were $49 each. Before Christmas, Lowes put a 9.6v drill kit on sale for $59. The kit contained a drill, two batteries and a charger. I bought it even though I just needed a battery. Now I have my new battery, a spare battery, a spare charger base and a spare drill for not much more than the cost of a single battery! I think their marketing people need better accounting skills!

@thilderbrand20: @thilderbrand20: Of course you can buy the dewalt dc727ka with TWO batteries and a charger for $96.06 here:

Granted, it's in the UK, and shipping is about $60 to the US, but this is the same non-sense I posted about to crethwilm above. It's almost not worth buying a tool or battery alone anymore, you may as well buy a complete kit.

Dewalt is geared for the contractor. I have almost every dewalt cordless tool (including the calk gun) and the reason for the price diffrence is beacause if you regulary buy their tools you will have leftover batterys. It is a perk for buying their products. I have about 20 batterys that I have yet to put a first charge on. The tool itself is a good tool, and if I didn't have so many I would buy it.

@ryry2410: Care to sell any 18 volt batteries?

I have a huge bag of Dewalt tools in the garage. They will sit there and rot. Ever since I bought the Makita L-ion tools I will never touch another Dewalt. They really are overrated and the batteries are only good for about a year where I live. (Las Vegas).

@johnnyschmitz: +1. Have to agree. Dewalt is Black & Decker with different colors/name. I've got 20+ years on my first Makita driver/drill and it's still going strong. Never had a Makita fail and the batteries last and are available everywhere. I do have one Dewalt corded drill that has been fine but for cordless it's Makita all the way. This is in a commercial environment, not home use.

I've used Dewalt, Mekita and PorterGable. The Dewalt feels the best. My DeWalt lasted about six years. Couldn't get batteties so Santa got me a Makita li-ion and you can't beat the battery life but still liked the DeWalt beter.

Is it just me or do the photos show a used drill? so there is only one of these? but everyones right the batteries are going to cost alot more. Kinda like the blood testing kits they are free but the strips are 40 bucks

I'm a commercial low-voltage installer, and I've been through three DeWalt drills in 5 years -- and my 4th one will barely hold a bit anymore! DeWalt used to be a brand you could trust, but they started making their tools a lot cheaper a little while back, and I would now buy a Ryobi over a DeWalt! It's a good thing my business pays for my drills, but why they keep buying DeWalts is beyond me. Do yourself a favor, either buy a Ryobi and save some money or buy a Makita or Milwaukee and never have to worry.

I use ridgid tools now...they hold up better and the one drill i broke(was my fault) they actually fixed for free after the warranty was out.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
