Posted: 4/21/2012 2:49:22 PM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I am not affiliated with dewalt or lowe's; I'm just passing along a good deal that I saw to my fellow DIYers. If inappropriate please delete. April 25-27 commercial appreciation days at Lowe's DeWALT Deal: Trade in your cordless Ridgid, Makita, Milwaukee, Craftsman or Panasonic tools (including battery) at any Lowe’s store April 25-27 to get $50 off any 20V or 18V DeWALT cordless drill/driver, impact or combo kit. Check your store, I thought I saw some fine print that whatever you were buying had to be over $150.

Trading in a Makita or Panasonic cordless for a Dewalt is like trading in your Bentley GT for a Jetta.

I'm never letting go of my Makitas! But seriously, I know a couple buddies that could afford to trade up their old Craftsmans. (wifey Xmas presents ) Thanks for the heads up OP.

I have an old, dead Makita drill lying around somewhere. That could be tempting, depending on their prices. The site's slow as hell.

I'm thinking about gutting the battery packs and making up a set of leads that will let it run off of a deep cycle battery.

You will receive 1 coupon/voucher per set you turn it. (MUST BE drill, battery and charger). Only one coupon is valid per purchase. You can not turn in 3 dead drills and get a free DeWalt, for any of you wishful thinkers out there. (Such as myself) hahaha

Just got a new Dewalt on our jobsite and the chuck does not hold. I would stick with the Ridged, each year Dewalt is getting cheaper Go with the Bosch 2 free batteries with an 18v power tool purchase if anyone is considering a new tool.
