Why are these 20V kits from Dewalt not available from Amazon directly and why are the prices from 3rd party so much more expensive? New line coming out?

If you see a Dewalt drill on Amazon that Amazon says it is out-of-stock in their inventory, there may still be a third-party selling it. What's more, sometimes third party sellers team up with Amazon, so then the item will be held at an Amazon warehouse and will be shipped by Amazon. This is a partnership that allows for third-party companies to offer products through a trusted seller like Amazon, while still being actively involved in the actual sale of their items. In terms of pricing, we are unsure if there is a new Dewalt line coming out or not any time soon. It's very likely, however, but pricing in general - especially in used merchandise - is incredibly competitive. Competition sometimes forces extremes, with people vastly undercutting prices or vastly overpricing items to try to swing average prices in a certain direction. It's also possible that what appears to be a very high price was the average price not too long ago, but extreme undercutting dropped the average price artificially, and chances are the price average will eventually rise back up to where it should be. Thanks for your interest, and I hope this helped!

Requires 20v max battery by Dewalt. They make 1.5 Ah, 3.0Ah, and 4.0Ah batteries that will fit. Each is a step up in size and capacity.

Bruce K. I went to the Dremel.com website, and the only thing i can see is that the improved the tool set so that it will run longer between battery recharges. For thre extra 20 bucks just order the 2/28, you will be happier in the long run. I did and it comes with a recharger and 2 batterys.

Mine also came with the lithium DC9181 batteries, which are not the XRP batteries. There is a version of this DeWalt combo that comes with XRP batteries and a Hammerdrill instead of a regular drill, but it's more expensive.

I have the same question, have looked at DeWalt's web site and found nothing.

YES! Adapter is launching in January 2016. There will also be a kit that includes the adapter, 2-20V 2.0Ah lithium's, and a charger I think will retail for around $160. http://www.dewalt.com/tools/20v-max-batteries-dca1820.aspx

You have to purchase them separately. If you do make sure its a 20volt max battery or it won't work. Depending if you are buying this for a gift or not, there are some nice packages with a 20volt max drills and other pieces that come with extra batteries. I think I purchased mine during the thanksgiving sales at Home Depot but I am pretty sure the go on sale on Amazon too. They really are good quality, you can't go wrong though they are on the more expensive side. In my opinion, don't cheap out on something like a drill cause they are extrememly helpful around the house. I had a 12volt lithium ion one and it wasn't strong enough for me so I ended up wasting my $100 on that drill. You have to purchase them separately.

Dewalt has a 30 day money back guarantee, beyond that I'd consider yourself lucky it lasted that long. Toss it or try to fix it using their service net. I've found that the 18v stuff works better and lasts longer. I typically get 1.5 years out of a drill or sawzall. But I do use them hard almost every day.

I bought a "bare tool" only. I have other 20v Dewalts and plenty of batteries. So watch out for "bare tool" it means No Battery-No Charger-No Case. However, I got lucky and there was a battery included, I think it was a Factory Re-Conditioned tool and it came that way in a plain card ord box. So if you need a battery,charger & case don't order just a bare tool.

Both are wrong. I used a 20v 3mAh battery, fully charged and was disappointed. Not what I expected. Dewalt was a little too generous with their own specs. I agree with Amazon's figure.

Hi Suzanne,I never took possession of the item. However, the company was very helpful during my research phase. I lost track of how many times I phoned them. Every person I spoke to at Generac was quite knowledgeable and eager to please.By the way, my sister purchased a refurbished Dewalt from Home Depot for a fraction of the cost. It's more powerful then this Generac model. All of the refurbs at Home Depot or Lowes are completely reconditioned as new and come with a warranty. You may want to consider this option.Michael

Yes, I ordered mine through Amazon™ from CPO outlets™, it came in a kit: drill, 2 batteries, charger, flashlight and a wood drill bit kit, for $97 total, everything brand new. (Not sure if it's still available). That's pretty good when you consider that the price of a single new battery is in the $55-$60 range. I use this drill daily, for a living, this is my third hitachi drill of the same model; they're lightweight, comfortable, they last for about 3 years with daily use. (My recommendation as far as Li-ion batteries go: don't leave them exposed to extreme temperatures for too long). Hope this helps!

Seems High to me also; mine was around $139. Check this out: Makita LCT209W 12V max Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kit

Like I said to Lim: Either use a 220 VAC Input to 120 VAC Output, 60-100W Transformer or see if DeWalt offers a 220 VAC charger with the DIN/Euro plug. Euro-market is both rich and huge, so surely DeWalt already does or should. Cheers!

No, it isnt. Even for dewalt's products, it only works with 20v max series.
