I think this is worth passing along.  Home Depot has a promotion on a 18 volt Makita ½” Drill that seems like a DEAL to me.  The regular price was $199.00, marked down to $179.00 in a different package that included two batteries. 

The promo deal is model LX452SP with one battery for $99.00.  (I mentioned Lowes had a better price so Home Depot knocked off another 10% =  $89.10).  It is a two speed, plus trigger variable speed with the latest Lithium Ion battery.  For more details here is the link    http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?jspStoreDir=hdus&catalogId=10053&productId=202445069&navFlow=3&keyword=lx452sp&langId=-1&searchRedirect=lx452sp&storeId=10051&endecaDataBean=com.homedepot.sa.el.wc.integration.endeca.EndecaDataBean%4056363130&ddkey=Search
