This is a good enough deal that I may pick a tool that would not likely be in the sets, but it is wonder if waiting is a lost cause, and I should fill out the DeWalt XR line?
How the first drill died:
The first time it slowly became harder and harder to remove the bits, until eventually it was damn near impossible without using every muscle fiber in your hands. I did not have the receipt, but after a good amount of convincing and pleading, they agreed to replace it.
First warranty exchange experience:
On this occasion, I was lucky in terms of how the lady processed the warranty exchange. They did the replacement as a return > store credit, then used the store credit to purchase the new one (all done by the lady at the register, not like I had the option of getting a different tool). They then gave me the receipt. This allowed me to add the transaction to MyLowes such that it was a new tool and new warranty.
Second drill death story:
The second replacement, I had been drilling holes using a spade bit one night, and it overheated... and never recovered. After that incident, every time I pulled the trigger on the drill I would have to disconnect and reconnect the battery. The light would flash continuously after letting go of the trigger, and refused to work until I reset the battery. Even if I just had to tighten two screws, I would have to disconnect and reconnect the battery to tighten the second screw.
Second warranty exchange experience:
This time the exchange was processed differently. I wasn't given a receipt, but I got a brand new drill. If this one ends up needing to be replaced, I'm not expecting another replacement.
Moral of the story: Save your receipt, or link the purchase to your MyLowe's account!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

I haven't opened the box of the most recent replacement yet, and I'm contemplating trying to exchange it for the 2-tool combo @ $199 w/ drill and impact driver, and pay the current difference ($40). I feel like I stand a 50/50 shot with manager's discretion. The problem is my ID will show that at the time I got this replacement, it was on sale for $130 or $140. I'm thinking if I use my passport, maybe it won't show in the system. If I just tell them I got it recently, don't have the receipt, and only present my passport I think I'd have my best chances lol.
Not to mention I got the very first drill for $99, just like yours... so it feels like a Longshot, but we'll see if I work up the nerve lol. It's been in the box for a month for just this reason.
