DeWalt 18V cordless drill, $189.88, ToolKing.com

The Daily Deal for December 26, 2007

It's Boxing Day in the U.K. and Canada; in the U.S. we celebrate "put together your Christmas presents" day. My husband started the celebration early yesterday, and by the end of the sugar rush from Santa's candy gifts he had installed two hangers for a suspended chair from IKEA, one chandelier, and a partridge in a pear... o.k., I know you're really tired of 12 Days of Christmas references. Anyway, if you're like me and are planning a full week of Putting Things Up, you'll wish you had a better drill.

This DeWalt Factory Reconditioned Heavy-Duty XRP 1/2 inch 18V Cordless Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver Kit from ToolKing.com will do the trick. I'm a fan of factory reconditioned products, especially when they're from a name I trust as much as DeWalt. One of these babies would have avoided the whole mess with the bolt at a 45 degree angle (ahem) and ToolKing.com offers free shipping on orders over $99. The retail price on a new product is over $500 and most outlets price it between $299 and $319; and the cheapest price I could find on a similar reconditioned model was $219.99 at Amazon.com. The price will expire soon but I wasn't able to see exactly when. You'll need this right away, though, those hanging chairs aren't going to hang themselves ...
