Price mistake because when you add to cart it goes up to 39.99, it is a good deal at 29.99 but not for 39.99 plus tax and shipping. You can't even pick up at store to avoid shipping because they still charge you 5.95. Might be worth it if you are in the market for one though.

Shows up as $29.99 for me. I gave the OP green because I own several allied sets as spares for the most basic of tools for people that like to borrow/break/lose. My craftsman tool sets don't leave my side. Green because it has a stud finder, laser level, and an 18v drill, plus hand tools...

You said that "shows up for me as $29.99", did you add it to the cart, then check the price when checking out. Because it shows up for me as $39.99+$7.5(shipping)+tax.
Be very careful with these non namebrand drills. I bought an 18v drill a few years ago for $10-15 bucks and it was absolute crap. The motor would get super hot, the handle felt like it was trying to split in my hand, and the batteries stopped holding a charge after half a year.
That said, I later bought a little 9.6v B&D drill I got on sale for $20 and its never missed a beat. Doesn't have the power of an 18v drill (I've owned Craftsman and now Ryobi), but honestly, nethier does the cheap drill in the thread. 9.6v is more than enough to hang several paintings including drilling the holes and driving the screws into the plastic anchors.
I've had good success with a couple of inexpensive 18V cordless drills I purchased about 5 years ago. They look identical to the one pictured - just yellow case instead of blue, although not sure of the internals on this one. I believe mine were Chicago Electric brand (similar to what you would see at Harbor Freight) purchased off of eBay for ~$25/each. They have gotten me through some torque intensive projects (replacing wooden railings on porch, assembling playground equipment for children). IMHO, I would rather have an inexpensive no-name brand "heavy duty" tool for general use rather than a name brand general use tool for general use because the "heavy duty" tool can on occassion branch out and perform "heavy duty" jobs. On a full battery charge, I can drive dozens of 2.5" deck screws into pressure treated lumber (which is the limit of my expectations for this type of class of product). I have not had the same experiences with some of the 9.6V household products I have tried.
