If I needed a drill, I'd pick this up and when the batteries quit taking a charge, buys some NiMH or Litheum-Ion.

So my flyer (unfortunately) says this is $149 with an available $50 rebate. Makes sense as a more fair way of advertising, and it works in our favor when national chains fail to take us into account--we get the rebate at checkout if they advertise that way--then the store is responsible for following up with the mail-in portion. But in this case they caught it so my local flyer is different. Anyway, knowing what your state's laws are in this area is worthwhile.
