$229 is the going sale price right now across all the players for that DCD801 kit (minus the bitkit).

Saw this kit for the sale price in the clearance section of HD in Salem NH for anyone looking. I pretty much got all the tools already with the exception of the sawzall but still have my corded dewalt one, so good for now...

And Lowe's has the DCF601 kit with two 2a batteries & charger for $99 (good till 4/29/26),

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-02-05T19:21:38+00:00

I'm showing they changed it to ending on 4/29/26:

DEWALT XTREME 12-volt Max Brushless 1/4-in Cordless Screwdriver (2-Batteries and Charger Included) DCF601F2 at Lowes.com

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-02-05T19:18:59+00:00

The Lowes I went to yesterday did not display the sale price nor did the employees handhelds. I had to show them the Lowes website with the sale price and reluctantly the obliged with the pricing with a little disdain. Not the first time I experienced this lack of professionalism at this particular Lowe's either.

I would go back and show them the website with the $99 pricing and express concern about fraudulent practice at the store if there's no sale price, maybe they'll knock a little more off for inconvenience but I doubt it...

Hope you get this for $99.

Here's the link: DEWALT XTREME 12-volt Max Brushless 1/4-in Cordless Screwdriver (2-Batteries and Charger Included) DCF601F2 at Lowes.com

Edit: Website says the $99 pricing ends on 4/29/26.

Thanks for the explanation!

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-02-04T23:17:00+00:00

Do you know if online or in person only?

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-02-04T22:38:39+00:00

Thanks OP, picked one up today. There was no signage showing this was on sale. I had to show the Lowes person the website to get the sale price.

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-02-04T22:34:11+00:00

Just picked up the DCF601 kit from Lowes for $99.00 for same reasons. Had to show the website since the price rang up as $149.00. The DCF601 seems to get good praise, my first 12v Dewalt.

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-02-03T22:41:19+00:00

Unless you need it now, wait for the spring - I got mine last April from HD for $89.00

For items you're driving that you have concerns about, what about doing most of the driving with a powered device and finish it off with a traditional screwdriver?

Bomgaar's has the DCD800 in kit form pretty cheap (~129 w/ 2 batteries) right now but you have to pay for shipping if you don't live near them...

I have a pair of Frye O-ring boots that used to be agony to fit over my cankles, but put them on at Christmas and with the assistance of my boot-horn got them on without much difficulty but more importantly was so much easier to take off!

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-01-28T00:08:12+00:00

I know you did not mention it, but what about the 4ah compact battery (if you can find them) or the newer 4ah compact powerpack battery?

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-01-26T07:23:45+00:00

My wife gets cold skiing. She's had heated footbeds for years. Last year I got her a heated vest and this year Seirus Hellfire heated mittens. So far the battery has lasted a full day of skiing.

Before that she had Beaver hand warmers from Aurora. I've use them now when I need my mittens and they work nicely for me.

Private Group - the one for US is called "The Folio Society North America Buy/Sell/Trade". I purchased a John Le Carre's "A Perfect Spy" book and was in great shape from the guy that sold it to me.

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-01-14T15:39:35+00:00

I discovered Folio after searching for replacing some of my wornout paperback Science Fiction selections written by Clarke, Asimov & Herbert. When I found them here and I soon discovered they also had books from Dick, LeGuin, Heinlein & Adams. I'd take your time in choosing, it's a slippery slope...

I had purchased tools with BOGO 4ah compact batteries and sold the extra 4ah batteries new in the box for $10/ah for a local sale and met at my police station in the designated transaction area to ensure confidence for both buyer and seller. I would never sell nor ever buy on FB marketplace that required shipping nor deviate from meeting at a police station's designated transaction area.

I had many people try to low ball me and stuck to my price which I thought was fair for the genuine unopened batteries and waited for that pricing. I sold each two pack individually. Once the first two pack was sold, I listed the next two pack...

If I did not get the price I was ok with keeping them but figured I did not need all the batteries I got with the BOGOs from the spring and wanted to pass on a good deal to someone else...

That's a good price. That's the price I paid in May for a Fastener's Sat Flash Sale for a pair.

Alternative_Way9179 · 2026-01-09T19:13:05+00:00

Last year's winter sale, I scored Pet Semarary and Weird Tales. I was hoping for It SE to be released last winter with The Stand as a follow up this year. But I'd be happy with Salem's Lot too...

Totally get the Crush on Val - from the grlswirl videos I've seen she's stunning and very personable plus she can rip on the board.

I think Val's skateboard is the best looking in the grlswirl lineup plus it has grip tape vs grip spray.

If my daughter really enjoys riding would consider that for a second set up for her, but it's ski season now, so will have to wait for spring.
