DRILL - Bosch or Dewalt for CT $25 promo???

Hi guys,

leaving in a few hours to grab one of these drills for the $25 Canadian Tire promo.

Dewalt...1/2 inch drive, 18V, Two Ni-Cad Batteries, Carry Bag.

Bosch....3/8 Drive, 18V, Two Li-Ion batteries, Hard Carry Case.
http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/bosch ... 4_it_mwIUc

Both have really solid reviews...I have a corded drill for the odd time I need 1/2" drive.

Checked them both out in-store...Bosch a bit smaller and lighter, but not a whole lot.

Li-Ion instead of Ni-Cad breaks the tie???

Thanks!

Lithium Ion batteries are much better and longer shelf life. Don't by a drill without Li-Ion battery.

To me both links show $99.99 @ 1/2 price. Where is the $25 deal? :(
I need it badly to drill a hole in my thick headed skull.

what is the CT 25promo? How do I get on board of this deal?
I have an OLD dewalt and I need to get a replacement batt (NiCad) and it will cost me close to $100 after shipping and delivery.

Bosch, even ignoring everything else, just because of the lithium battery.

Stay far away from anything NiCad. It's been obsolete for years.
