Complete set with batteries/charger, 750" torque, switchable drill/driver/hammer, brushless, and lifetime service/parts/warranty. Not bad.
Now I'll use it 2-3 times a year, forget I have it, and never find it in my basement.

Yeah I get analysis paralysis over all types of things but as I get older just go with the best priced big player... And never look at prices for stuff again cause there is always a better deal somewhere. Honestly almost every drill will last a lifetime for what you need it for. I know you got one already but pick one that fits your hand. I had 12v milwaukee batteries and bought a milwaukee impact and drill. At first I was all envious of the 18v, 20v, 24v then I started using it and i like the smaller battery pack. With brushless tools even the little batteries last forever...
Second the opinion don't get cheap power tools from HF. It's so hit or miss. I love HF and have some of the cheaper power items, all do the job but really not very well. I've been donating them when I upgrade. So I end up buying twice for tools I actually found useful but sometimes disposable tools are what you need. Like I bought a chain saw from them. No need to go crazy when I need to trim branches once a year. I did get a Hercules branded item there recently which time will tell but they have a 1 year no questions asked return on it... And it was literally half the price of the Dewalt.
