No charger? No BATTERY?!
This is good if you already have other Skil tools and batteries compatible, but if you need the whole kit and caboodle, this set over on A include the impact driver, drill driver, one battery and charger for a fabulous price. Also, 5 year warranty instead of 90 days.

Yeah what a useless RIP off. Tried to cancel the order but woot is d1ck1ng me around over a 2 hour fvcking window, even though this was ordered on a weekend. I hate woot soooooo much now. It was so much better when Amazon didnât have its filthy hands in it.
You mean back when the policy was âNo returns, no refunds. Sell it on eBay if you donât like it.â? You dislike that Woot has allowed returns for years now, and where you can start yourself from this page?

(IMHO, thereâs nothing misleading with the offer here. In the title â âBare Toolâ. Within the battery description â âSold separately.â)
Iâm not a Woot employee, but itâs my understanding they have that 2-hour window because the orders get sent off to vendors to fill and then itâs out of Wootâs hands. It doesnât matter whether itâs the weekend or not since I think it probably all happens automatically.
Also, a side note: Amazon bought Woot ten years ago. Thatâs a long time to hold on to that particular complaint.
Not sure of the rules here, but it seem tacky for a commenter (kamnet) to post shrouded affiliate links here.

thereâs nothing misleading with the offer here. In the title â âBare Toolâ
The second and longest bullet point stresses specifically the value and importance of the battery technology⌠of a battery it doesnât have.
Thus the term âBare Toolâ.
If you happen to pick up the Skil drill/side impact or oscillating tool combo ($79 on the Mothership) that will come with the fancy Skil charger and a battery, so youâre mostly âthereâ with a brushless tool set for under $120.
I needed to update my old laughably heavy 19.2V set of cordless tools to move up in my job, and these Skil tools are the real deal.
Light, powerful, affordable and a 5 YEAR warranty.
No, itâs likely not Snap-On quality, but the guys at the shop running Milwaukee/Makita are impressed, especially for 1/3 the price.
Durability is of course the issue, and time will tell, but hey, 5yr warranty!
Very satisfied purchaser here.
Or reciprocating saw combo:

I bought the drill/impact combo here on Woot a couple months ago. It sold me and Iâve since purchased a drill/right angle impact set to get into tighter spots too. Its brushless motors perform beyond whatâs typically thought of 12v. Toolguyd did a full review of the drill a while back:
People want fast deliver and that has consequences. To do fast shipping, you have to release orders quickly. After two hours, itâs off to an Amazon warehouse or to a vendor. How in the world would we contact a particular associate in one of dozens of Amazon warehouses to find your order out of thousands to cancel it.
Yeah, the oscillating tool is spot on too.
Iâve used it on both asbestos shingles and fiberglass with impressively clean cuts, and while I thought it was weirdly heavy out of the box, the weight gives it a lot of stability for working.
The lights on all of these tools are great, the ring lights on the impacts even more so.
Iâm hoping the reciprocal saw comes up âbare toolâ on here at some point to round out the set for cheap.

No, VMod, the URL continues to have the affiliate link (tag kfdeals-20).
Either delete the link or use the basic expanded link with the tag stripped out.
Iâm not the one who fixed the link but I replaced it again to be safe. I didnât see the affiliate tag on the link Narfcake changed it to but I think weâre good on the one thatâs up now.
BOO !! Misleading cheap trick!
A cursory read implies that this drill comes with a battery. The main headline does not say âtool onlyâ and many of the pictures show it with a battery.
It is not until you get into the ad that the last 2 words of the title reads âbare toolâ & then clearly they make it very difficult to cancel the order if you understandably were misled into ordering.
All the Amazon owned sites are trending unclear, misleading & sketchy as F in their searches & product descriptions & basically all their business practices âŚ
Woot is a closeout site, it doesnât even guarantee you time to complete check out before items disappear from your cart let alone do any due diligence prior to purchase. On ANY reputable website the first 2 words of the title would be âbare toolâ or âno batteryâ⌠It should not be the Last 2 words which you only saw after clicking on the link and digging into the ad âŚif it was truly a good deal they would be long gone by then âŚ
For the few people who have the more rare Skil 12v battery and charger this may be an OK deal. For the vast majority who saw the âSKIL PWRCore 12 Brushless Impact Driverâ headline this is a worthless hunk of plastic.
This type of practice is rampant across all the Amazon properties, itâs a TRILLION dollar company they know exactly what theyâre doing & I think it is a kind of fraud
I havenât seen other tool site advertise the bare tools in this manner, so are all other sites not reputable too? I certainly donât see the description tags in the big box home improvement storeâs tool corrals call out âbare toolâ as the primary line either â do you raise a fuss in-person there also?
Woot has a 2 hour window in which folks can cancel their orders AND afterwards, you can return the item â both of which were not allowed before Amazonâs ownership. You can initiate a self-return from your orders page.
FWIW, e-commerce sites do NOT hold items for anyone before checking out. Thatâs across the line, whether it Amazon, Walmart, eBay, or Woot here.
That affiliate ref was re-edited back in by someone else. 
Woot is a limited quantity liquidation website, they pressure buyers to check out quickly⌠they provide only a VERY limited window for cancellation (which they make difficult) âŚeverything that is a decent value is gone right away. Knowing that , it should be incumbent on them to provide clear, transparent product descriptions
but they donâtâŚ
The comment regained the amzn.to expansion link, which had the affiliate tag embedded in it. I donât see how this revision happens, assuming Narfcake did it right (how can a name like Narfcake be untrustworthy anyway?)⌠unless the commenter re-edited back in himself (which should be grounds for sanction).
Are Amazon staff generally unaware of how the amzn.to links work?
