Good price, but make sure you need the bastard offspring of a masonry drill and a hole hog before letting your wallet birth this behemoth.
Depending on your needs this might be a perfect in between for you, but for me it's overkill for non-hammer tasks and doesn't cut it for most hammer-tasks.

Some good points for sure. This thing is like a beefier version of a regular drill. I'd say maybe 20% larger? It definitely has it's place though depending on your usage. I drill alot of tapcons for conduit straps and this thing does those like they're nothing. I usually do 1/4" holes but I've done all the way up to 5/8" without it sweating too hard. $99 is more than fair if you ask me, but I have a regular use so, yeah.
Edit:
I feel like it's worth mentioning that this model has the built in 20 minute work-light setting. Super bright and really handy if you don't have a flashlight and are working in a poorly lit area. it's definitely not ideal as a dedicated flashlight, but definitely a premium feature in my opinion.
What bits do you use with it? That's one of the tasks I like this tool for. With each hole being up to 4ft apart and up and down ladders, it's nice not to have the extension cord. But in old concrete my bits go dull in 1 or 2 holes and it takes a while to drill.
It's actually pretty amazing, but this one is plenty for me.
Still you should know what is out there before buying this one...

I've had an Irwin bits in there lately because I picked up a bunch when they were on clearance at Lowes a while back. Probably drilled ~50 3" deep holes with the one currently in the chuck. I'm usually a fan of Bosch, but I've had at least 3 of those snap on me so I avoid those now. Menard's has a weird almost generic brand one in a white package that I like. I can't remember the name unfortunately. If I need an odd size that I won't use very often I get one of those because they're suspiciously cheap, but seem to hold up well. The 5/8" holes that I drilled were that brand actually. I just make sure to try and not put any side to side pressure when drilling and clear the hole often and that seems to help them last longer.

I think the new DeWalt 12v Xtreme line is awesome if you can find a good deal. I've picked up the tool + 2 battery combo kits at Lowe's for $50 as returns. They're compact, lightweight, and plenty powerful for home use. If you want something with more umph, the Atomic line is great too. Just wait for the sales.
