The home depot had the dewalt dcv581h w/ 5ah batter + charger + tool bag for $129.99 last week..

Soooo.. technically, the battery kit itself went for $50 ..  that's a pretty good deal..


You gotta watch amazon and homedepot..

I don't need a 2nd charger or another bag and it's literally $3 more dollars:

Walk me through this, it makes no sense to me.

yea, they do it like this so they can make it look like there's huge discounts on the dewalt tools during holidays.


the battery cells are only $1-2 each, so 10 cells is only $20 tops to build..  They turn around and sell for $80-100

The charger is probably ~$5 a piece to make, and the bag, $2
