“A workhorse as good as "big" brands at a reasonable price!”
I've been through all the other brand name driver/drills and I can say that the Craftsman products are among the best there are. The price make Craftsman a must buy. Now with the new C3 battery system, you can use your batteries in all of your power tools, a win win situation. Finally, I recommend buying the extended warranty if you're real DIY-er. Any drill will wear out after 3 years of good use, but Sears stands behind their products with full replacement should anything go wrong --- as long as you buy the warranty.
