Hi
total surprise for me, because normally I´m well informed;
also a “crazy model number”, very untypical !
yesterday I saw a NEW cordless drill (there were no rumors) and it is ALREADY available now
a) in Europe the model number is DCD771 C2
a surprise because it has unusual 1,3 Ah slide on batteries !
(Dewalt had 4 types: 1,5 Ah 2,0Ah “yellow top” 3,0 4,0Ah yellow top
I really don´t understand this move unless it is for agressive pricing
In Germany it runs approx. 175Euro with a new “compact charger DCB106 and 2x 1,3AH (18V batteries)
B) no info on availability in UK
c) also saw it on a Black Friday Listing at Home Deopt
PRICE SENSATION for USA !! only $99 for the KIT

Thx to Stuart for this posting !!
greetings

This model is the 20v MAX equivalent of the DC970K-2 that has been promo’d in the past. It is primarily a Black Friday play.
I finally seen this drill.. I usally always go out to department stores aka lowes/ homedepot on black Friday.. I’ve never seen a 20 v. Max drill like this on sale..

This is the first year that it is being released.
is this maybe to challenge the makita drill which the batteries are not compatible with he rest of the lxt range?
