Is this real??

Besides one on sale and that one you posted, all the prices of 27__ tools match the price for the 26__ version. Maybe someone forgot to mention this is an upgraded version.

Yeah I think someone forgot to mention that they are different – check this…

Hah! That’s funny. At least they discounted the older model instead of increasing the price on the new one. The extra $50 seems well worth it, though, cause aside from the fact the tool is much improved the batteries are now XC5.0 instead of 4.0.

I’ve seen the Gen2 kits listed for 20-30 dollars Canadian more than Gen1. Well worth it.

you might just be right about that. newest gen seems like a worthwhile upgrade for a lot of people. hell, they raised the price of their tool chest, why not their premium drills?

DR99Member since Nov 2012Aug 27, 2015 9:19 PM CT

The Gen2 drills are a direct replacement for the M18 Fuel line. It think they would be afraid that the higher prices would scare away customers!!

BremonMember since Dec 2014Aug 28, 2015 6:23 PM CT

The 2 battery kit here is 480 Proto lol. 400 for 1 battery. Thanks Harper 😛
