Is 12volt decent compared to all of the new 18v and 20v stuff?

I use 12v Lithium Ion for a lot of around the house work and smaller projects. They tend to be lighter weight and smaller than the 18 and 20 volt ones.

it depends on what you need to do. For home most 12 volt tools are fine, 18 volt tools are better for a contractor.

I don't know about this item though, I saw it somewhere else and wanted to post just in case someone here needs it.

******, I just bought these @ $70.. now they're $49 at my store
I'll have to take the receipt in for a price match, but if the inventory sells out the clearance price reverts back up.

these have been discussed in the LOWES discount thread on page 13

these are handy for basic and general home repairs or assembly. you're not going to like them if you plan to build a deck or fabricate a utility trailer.. that's where my 18v dewalts come into play.
I bought these to stay in the home and put into "her" tool kit. keep me from going to the barn in the winter/rain just because we're assembling a linen closet or such.

$49.99 at one of my local stores, have 9 of them, wonder if they are worth re-selling lol.

Thanks, I have an attached Gararge so it would probably just double up.

Says they have 2 at the Lowe's by work, $49. Tempted to swing by after work and grab one, but don't really need it. Wouldn't hesitate to buy if they weren't 12V. Hopefully, someone else local sees this and gets one or both before 5pm today.

 

[AndeiH]

Yep, just noticed the price drop to $49.99 at the local store.

Must resist......

they might be out of stock, or select a different store. Around me one store has it for $49.99, another for $67.99 and another for $135.99.

Good news is they refunded me the difference & gave me the new $49 price on the set I bought 2days ago

Same here I've been weighing the pros and cons in my mind ever since yesterday, and now I can put my mind at ease.

i grabbed one for 33$, so they will go lower.
they are good drills, the saw is a little funky but i can see it being useful since i don't have a batter powered sawzaw. the impact has a lag of half a second after you pull the trigger but other than that they are good drills.

 

[ratchet_gear]

Cool. I was looking at these when they posted it in the Lowes thread. Was showing $136 and now they have it for $50.

 

[EasyTiger864]

Grabbed one from my store yesterday. Drill is okay, slow to get up to speed. Impact is awesome and the main reason I bought this kit. I personally don't care for the jig saw/sawsall. It's only one speed so that kind of kills it's jig saw function for me. It only accepts t shank blades which I've only used in jig saws, so I don't know if they come in a length long enough to lob off a 4x4 fence post.

49.99 here as well. Closest store is 35 miles away. May have to make the trip

 

[Catadj78]

Nearby stores show $199.00 for me. I would pick these up for the $67
