2-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Cordless Combo Kit (1-Tool), (2) 2Ah Batteries, Charger, Bag, w/ Bonus Cordless Jig Saw – Scarfiv

Too good to be true but what is the catch?

I don't see any part of that link that implies legitimacy. There was another thread a few months back about some super duper extra spiffy Dewalt deal from a popular website. Turned out completely bogus as I recall.

It certainly seems to good to be true. I’m not sure what list price would normally be but I’d guess over $500.

I'm sure you know if you find a deal too good to be true it usually is. They may sell you a drill, possibly with other stuff, but don't expect it to be a genuine Dewalt drill. If you do a reverse search on the phone number (661-784-5802) you will get no information - I checked. The area code places it near Los Angeles County. I'd keep my $99 - in fact I will.

2x 2Ah batteries really isn't that much of an offering... and I think that that is the catch.

Seeing as one manufacturer's battery isn't transferable to another brand, it may lead to you having to 'lock yourself in' to having to always buy Dewalt 'skins'.

its a WordPress site...so probably NOT legit. If so, I would be a few of them...lol

Even if there wasn’t a battery at all that’s still a too good to be true price. Btw a two pack of the 2ah battery is $99 plus tax.

Pretty sure that's a scam.

There was a similar scam on Milwaukee tools before Christmas.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Same sites have lots of tools at a fraction of the real price. Look at start date for the site.
