I just bought another kit about 1 1/2 weeks ago for $100 at Tractor Supply. Got my first kit for $100 from them last year.
Great units. Highly recommend.
As someone pointed out, this kit is brushless while the TS kit is not. If that matters to you. Here's the link:
How is this set better than the tractor supply one?
This set is brushless. The TSC deal is brushed, but was too good to pass up, as I just bought the 12v 5 in 1 Flexiclic deal back in June. This was just pure tool lust and versatility, as I have a wide range of Ridgid and corded tools if I need more power. I also have a 12v Bosch laser, so the extra batteries could be handy.
Someone listed the benefits of brushed tools on the TSC deal.

The link here appears to be brushed. I have an early version of this set, as well as the brushed 12v pocket driver, and the brushless high torque compact pocket driver (and the ro sander, flashlight, and a cordless Dremel which uses the same battery). They all totally rock. The only fault I find with any of them is the brushed pocket driver, which lacks the battery level indicator. My 18v tools see very little use in my shop. The 12v brushed drill is my favorite cordless drill I have ever used. Great chuck, compact, light, balanced, plenty of power and speed. The little batteries charge faster then 4Ah 18v, and are easy to swap. And I've had zero battery issues over the last 5 years, which I can't say about any other cordless tool battery platform I've used (including DeWalt, Makita, oh and Ryobi 40v).

You're right...the link does link to the brushed set. The title of the post lists GXL12V-220B22, which is the brushless set. So it looks like the title is wrong.
