Craftsman C3 19.2 volt DRILL/DRIVER Review

I actually purchased this drill three years ago, just before the batteries were rebranded "Die Hard," but the drill is the same and the batteries are the same. I used to have a cheap corded drill with a single-speed motor, and a cordless drill that used two versa-pack batteries and didn't have any power. I got this to replace both, giving me power and portability.

The 410 in/lb of torque is enough for anything I, or almost anyone, needs to do with a drill. The batteries are great, as their run time is respectable and they can be used with a bunch of other 19.2 volt devices. I've used this drill to strip paint off of metal railings, drill holes into stumps for stump destroying chemicals, making holes in trash cans for water drainage, and probably a billion other things around the house.

Having spent a couple years in the Home Improvement section of Sears, I got to play with lots of tools, and few drills that are widely available can exceed this one's capabilities. I've even had professionals tell me this is their drill of choice for work and home. For the money, you can't beat the performance and versatility. A definite 5-star tool.
