![]() ![]() Those "Special Buy" kits are cost reduced kits meaning, they may or may not have stripped down the quality of the drill, battery and charger. Home Depot might actually carry both, but they get a reputation for selling cheap Dewalts because their average customer doesn't know the difference and buys the cheaper one. As part of a combo kit the get the total price down they'll include the cheaper one rather than the most expensive. One retails $80 bucks more than the other. You don't need some type of insider knowledge to identify the better drill. The better batteries are the XRP's the cheaper kits include the shorter life batteries.Ĭompare say a DCD940KX kit to a DC720KA kit. For example the better Dewalts will have a knurled metal chuck housing were as the the cheaper ones use plastic. With Dewalts it's not some secret internal parts that make the difference between their cheap and expensive ones. I think people get way too invested in what's inside the tools. Check and see if you can find the model number for sale at any other reputable retailer. I wouldn't be surprised if Dewalt did the same thing. If Samsung has a 1080p TV that normally wholesales at that volume for $250, they may put in a cheaper display chip that only handles 720p to get that wholesale price down a bit, and eat a bit of the profit in order to make the sale and keep Wal-mart happy. Wal-mart may want to buy a million 48" TVs from Samsung at at $200 price point so they can put them on sale for $240. It's very common for Wal-mart, for example. ![]() Even if the regular wholesale price is $240, Dewalt might go for it just to drive sales, even if there's no profit, and might even take a loss if they can justify it for inventory reduction or advertising.Īlso, it's not uncommon for a manufacturer to make s specific model for a large chain, removing expensive features to get the price down. If you can give us the combo for $180 wholesale on 1 million units, we'll price them at $200, and move them all within a month, then come back for more at the regular wholesale price. For example, HD might tell Dewalt - Hey, your combos are selling well, we'd like to feature them as one of our black friday sale items. Sometimes the manufacturer drops the price to make a big sale to a chain, sometimes it's a combination of sale pricing/loss leader planning by the retailer, sometimes both. I just wanted to clarify that just because you bought it at Home Depot doesn't mean you got a surreptitiously inferior tool. ![]() I'll let you as the consumer make that decision. Even the cheapest DeWalt stuff might very well be worth the money you paid for it. You know, regular market-driven purchasing.ĮDIT: this isn't to say that your tools are bad. If you want nicer tools you have to pay more for them. If you bought those same model number tools at a different place you would have got the exact same tools. They'll also come with a bag rather than a hard case, though this isn't a big deal to many people. The cheapest combo kits usually come with weaker batteries, too (1.3 amp-hours vs 1.5 or 2.0 or 4.0, but again, these batteries have different model numbers, not nefariously swapped internals). Your kit probably has the lowest tier tools that DeWalt makes. These drills will have different features and different price points-and different model numbers. That being said, they do make several different drill and impact driver models (mostly drills). DeWalt isn't going to nefariously swap out cheaper components and have the market flooded with inferior products bearing their brand name and model numbers.
