Apparently Bosch is dumping their lithium-ion 36 V Brute Tough hammer
drill.
Bosch part number 18636-2
You can find it on eBay or Amazon for less than $200.
I bought it shipped from Tool Authority for $180 (US) total.
I suppose they are planning to update that hammer drill, and they have
a lot of the current version in stock.

The current price for the Bosch 18636-2 cordless hammer drill kit
has been reduced to $170 (USA) with free shipping at
(www.toolauthority.com). I just ordered a third, the first two came
in factory sealed boxes. The included batteries cost almost that
much on eBay. I'm still wondering why Bosch is dumping it.

A friend of my friend works at Bosch and they had a employee only
sale. The only reason why I did not buy this drill (priced at $130)
was that I already have a well working DeWALT, but it was tempting.
I did buy a sawzall for $60, two 4.5" grinders $30 each, and a 11224
VSR rotary hammer for $70. All new.
In any case, I think that the above price of $170 is a great value and
if you need a cordless drill, this is the one to buy.

We may be seeing one of the little upsides to the massive problems our
economy is having right now. The next year or two could be a great time for the
patient bargain hunter with a bit of extra cash.
