The perfect drill/driver to have.

JUL

2007

I am a weekend handy man around the house. I have had my 1/2" drill for about a year now. This has been the best battery powered drill that I have owned. The battery just lasts and lasts. This drill has not let me down like my Dewalt has and it cost a whole lot less during a Craftsman Club sale. The... read full review »

I love it!

NOV

2008

Great set! Light bulb lasts a long time, just don't drop it on concrete from the roof ceiling. Bought two bulbs in case I needed one in an emergency. That was 3 years ago, still have the extra bulb. Love the led light on the drill!!! Puts the light while drilling or screwing. Love the clutch and the fact that the auto stop when changing out bits. no turning of the clamp on bits. sturdy and long lasting. I can usually use this drill all day and not change out the battery.

What a superb tool!

MAR

2008

My February project was to install 72 feet of metal shelving in my study. Dozens and dozens of 2.5-inch wood screws had to be sturdily installed into heavy joists near the ceiling and into 2x4 studs behind the wall. Each screw needed a clean clearance hole through plaster and a true guide hole deep into wood. (Here in Earthquake Country you don't fake an installation like this with plastic plaster anchors.) Unless I wanted to give myself a bad case of carpal tunnel syndrome, it was time to buy a power screwdriver. I was wary. My last purchase of a power screwdriver had been a waste of money. That... read full review »

Good Product

JAN

2009

The flashlight is great. Bright, reasonably angle adjustable, Well balanced. I've already discarded the plastic case and have removed the drill handle and will probably never use it. Two hands on the drill work just as well and the handle often gets in the way when using and storing drill. I am a big fan of the 19.2 tools and this is no exception. Lots of power, well geared for good torque, and, thought not light, easy to use with one hand for reasonable periods. The single sleeve chuck is a minor concern. I'm used to the double sleeve chucks and am not sure if this will provide the same "grip"... read full review »

Great for the Ladies

APR

2008

I purchased this drill because, being single and over 50 it is difficult to find a "handyMAN" to assist on chores. I used this to drill holes in tree stumps to insert stump-rot, to change the license plates on my car and other chores. The stablizing handle is very helpful as I don't have the hand strength I once did. Excellent performance, would highly recommend this to anyone.

Power isn't the problem

FEB

2008

This drill is powerful coming in at just over 100lbs less torque than some of the highest priced drills, not bad for a hundred bucks. Except, the first one that I bought overheated while using a brand new hole saw on a solid wood door slab (I say new hole saw so you know that it was sharp). I returned that one through the extended warranty. After about a year the second one has issues, I went to use it one day and it started making serious knocking noises in low speed and skipping at high speed, not sure what the problem is. I can't say this is a completly bad drill, I would think that it would... read full review »

Good drill - light not LED

AUG

2008

I had the predecessor to this drill for 3 years, with constant industrial use it is still working but the batteries are fading & it makes more sense to buy a drill package than just batteries. I'm sure this will be an equal replacement. The work light, though, is NOT an LED like the listing & box claim, it has a filament bulb so I don't expect that to last.

Great purchase

2009

This is not my first 19.2v puchase so I knew what to expect from craftsman, very reliable and hardworking tools. The drill is perfect for all jobs big or small and the battery holds up pretty good. The light also comes in pretty handy. I am happy with my craftsman corldless set.

Great Drill/Driver, the WorkLight is delicate

First, I should tell you that I am a big fan of the Craftsman C3 system of tools. I am a home-owner and use my tools in routine home and garden projects. My tools are used lightly rather than the daily abuse of a real craftsman; so my review is in the context of home use. My Dad always said, have the right tool for the right job and C3 really helps me with that. Having portable, battery operated tools are helpful getting the job done quickly and easily. I have a couple of rechargers wall mounted and plenty of batteries around the house; grab a tool and battery and your working.
