Anyway, I have one of these and was very impressed by it as a "compact" tool. I expected it to be lighter-duty but it's actually much "beefier" than I expected. I would match it up against any mid-line drill. I have the big DeWalt hammer drills also, very heavy duty, but honestly not comfy to use if you are just doing small household tasks. I use that for larger stuff like hole saws or masonry drilling. I really liked the Atomic, though, as a general all-purpose drill.
I bought mine in the $199 set with impact driver; a few weeks ago there was a "free bonus tool" along with that, and I wanted the Atomic 4 1/2" saw, which individually is $129-149. So basically I got the 3 tools for $199. I like the little saw too.
I don't currently have another tool with either company so I don't have a loyalty based on batteries I'd already have. I don't mind paying another $20 if the performance is better. Anyone have any thoughts?

Tough call, both are about the same value. This is brushless but not dewalts top of the line. It's nice to have two batteries so one can be charging while you're working but 1.3 ah is a joke. The ridgid will tackle pretty much anything around the house just like this guy.

Also Brushless tools give you more useable power, longer battery life, and no brushes to replace. But brushes can last a long time. Most homeowner are likely to replace the tool for other reasons before the brushes go. Dropped it too many times, or they don't make the batteries for your tool anymore, or the batteries are so expensive, you may as well get a a new and better kit.
I bought this over Christmas for $99. Size for cabinet work was important to me. I like it for most things I do around the house too. It replaced an old, larger, heavier Dewalt 18 volt drill that was very well used and making lots of noise from worn bearings, very low battery life. Made sense to replace it at this price.

Yep!!
Well it's just a light duty tool. Dewalt sells heavier duty drills.
I know. The way they advertise it as just a little less power is questionable. I don't really see a difference from this to they bottle tiered line.
