I was at Lowes yesterday because I wanted to compare drills and I noticed this awesome deal. For $99 you get the drill, 2 lithium-ion slim batteries, and a charger. This is an awesome drill for tasks around the house.

Super hot....... Lemme say that I'm a contractor who lives and dies by the drill. Boschs quality FAR exceeds DeWalt, Milwaukee, Rigid and almost everyone else except for Hilti. This is a great deal......I'm tempted to buy it even though I almost don't need it.

I bought this drill for the same price about a year ago. Great quality and performance.

I was waiting on the Dewalt for the same price from Lowe's when the Black Friday sales start. But this one has 2 Lithium batteries as opposed to 2 NiCad's and the reviews seem good enough so paired it with my 10% off and throw in a few Cash Back bucks and I'm a happy camper. Thanks OP.
I also added the Dewalt Drill bit set they have for $25 marked down from $50. Seemed like a good buy....
Just a heads-up, FWIW, unlike the Amazon one, this does not come with a carrying case.

Does this one suffer from the same lithium battery issues as other drills. I just returned a 1year old Hitachi drill ser to Costco since both batteries won't charge anymore.

Thanks OP, stopped by Lowes and picked one up, was even able to use a 20% off from Harbor Freight (after cashier had asked a manager). But it did work, just asked them to apply a competitor coupon... Came out to $80 plus tax

I'd say not. I have two fat bosch battery Lithium ion packs that I've been using for 5 years now. Still work like new. FYI I use the battery's 3-7 days a week for the last five years so they get some serious usage.

These are great drills. I own 3 different flavors of these Bosch (this one, a hammer drill, and a driver), and I love them. I hardly use my DeWalt, Hitachi or Ryobi drills anymore since I got these.

Yeah, I really want to get a new drill, I have a Dewalt that has served me expertly over the years, but it's age is definitely showing (13 years). That being said, I will probably grab the Dewalt on BF as it has the Hammer option, and that is why I loved my last one so very much. Good drill, with ridiculously wonderful versatility.

If I am correct you probably let the drill sit for a year and never charged it during that time, lithium batteries get damaged when they are fully discharged and not used. At least that is my understanding, it is a good idea to charge these batteries once a month just to keep battery in good shape.
I have this Bosch grill and it and its batteries are doing fine after a year if light use.

Went to do the browser trick in Firefox with codes but the price was back to 169... went back to my IE where it was 99 and applied the 10% off code. That's as of noon today and just ordered it for pickup.

I used the Hitachi drill frequently. I built a giant swing set with it and did lots of home and yard repairs this past summer. Once the drill would run slow I would pop the battery in the charger and use the charged one. One battery would not charge starting back in August. The second battery did the same last week...
I will try this set out once my Lowes 10% comes in.

I've had a Bosch drill and it died completely after a year. I think their quility is not up to par. Stay with Dewalt or other good professional brands.
