The prices I checked on a few items are much higher than other vendors. Basically paying for the "free" battery plus their shipping fee is hefty. No deal
I ordered a few things from the last DeWalt sale about a week or 2 ago and it was all old stock. Everything was 2020-43 dated. Not a big deal on bare tools but old dated batteries kind of sucked.

This is actually a decent deal... but the 996 hammer drill is 💩. The clutch on it will go out quickly, and the speed/torque selector is the worst sliding mechanism ever designed by human hands. Lol.
The hammer drill function is good, but if using it for anything larger than ½", have a fire extinguisher ready.
Last year I just got my replaced again (for the 2nd time.. both times, Dewalt just sent me a new one both times) and I had a simple paint stirrer I was mixing small (2 gallon) batches of cement with, and on batch number 4 and fireworks began lol. But my 1998 Ryobi 3/8 corded beater did fine lol.
So, take what you will from that. But, it's still a decent deal.

The 996 is a solid performer in my opinion. I beat the snot out of mine this year, with over 500 5/16" 2" deep hammer drills in a poured wall, followed by around 200 more 1/4" 2.5" deep into the same poor wall. Yep, should have really bought an SDS drill (now have one; probably never use it again), but this sucker performed STRONG. For this price with the battery it's a nobrainer buy.
I'm in the market for a jigsaw. The DSC334B is $200 at Murdoch (with the battery) or $153 on Amazon (with a decent-rated supplier). It's the equivalent of paying $50 more for the battery, not bad if you need a battery..
That said, the drill DCD996B is $130 at Murdoch's (with the battery) and ~$200 at Amazon, It's the equivalent of them paying you $70 to take the battery, a much better deal.

This is why I love SD. One comment says the product is absolute shit and the very next comment praises it for being great.

996 is the grandfather of hammer combi drills
all the 998 and 999 is utilizing better electronics to use flexvolt/power detect
just don't leave it out in the rain and it's enough UWO to break your dainty wrists
i'm sure it's not a one size fits all tool but that's why dewalt has at least 3 different tiers of 1/2" drills that are mustard instead of using different brands all around
