blilly3 says "Very nice cordless drill." about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt DRILL/DRIVER

blilly3 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:22:11 GMT

Bought this drill to replace my six year old craftman 16.8 volt drill. The drill fits in the hand comfortably and the chuck angles works well for hard to set screws. The 1/2 chuck is nice but I seldom use a bit larger than 3/8. The batteries charge quick and last a couple of full days before needing recharge. I like the bubble level on the back of the drill for drilling perpendicular. I would recommend this drill because the price is right, the drill works like it should, and it comes with two batteries and a quick charger.

I put this drill through it's paces! Everything from driving countless drywall screws to drilling anchors in the concrete floor and foundation! I never had a problem! Burned through masonry bits while getting this thing nice and toasty! Would recommend in a heartbeat!

I bought this about one year ago and it really has come in handy. I don't use it very often, but I like that it is always charged and ready and comes in it's own case with two batteries. Great, easy-to-use drill.

Prof99 says "It works well and is a great value for the price." about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt DRILL/DRIVER

Although it's a little heavy, this drill works well and does a lot on a battery charge. It's ruggedly built.

It comes with a canvas carry bag and two batteries (the most expensive part), so it's a great value for $100.

I've had my C3 drill for three years and it has been nothing but great. The battery life is the best of any C3 items. I highly recommend this item bundled with a few others. I've yet to have any problems with this product.

chevy63 says "very satisfied for the price" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt DRILL/DRIVER

I have the 19.2 volt drill, impact driver and flashlight and I have had them almost 2 years and I am very satisfied with them. I work at Pepsi Cola as a truck mechanic and I restore old cars and trucks and build custom cars and trucks for my boss. I use the drill and flashlight everyday and sometimes all day and they have held up very well. I think one of my batteries is going bad but considering how much I use them I am still happy with them. I have quiet a few tools and I would say that at least 90 percent of my hand tools are Craftsman and many of them are 20 plus years old. When I do have a problem with one of them they replace them with no questions. The local Snap On tool salesman comes by the shop and try's to sell me his tools but I always tell him that as long as Craftsman tools get the job done I will not be buying his very over priced tools. I have heard a local man say that when he bought a bad item from Sears he would quiet buying from Sears but he still buys from Sears...

BlueCrewGuyInMA says "Big Bang for the Buck" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt DRILL/DRIVER

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...

I bought on of these four years ago and love it. I have never had a problem with the batteries or the drill. I have 2 other Dewalt drills I have been trying to give away and can't. Just ordered another one today so I will have 2. I have used and abused this drill over the past four years and have never had it fail me. Have also used it to run a lot of 3 1/2" deck screws with no problem. Drill is a little heavy but at least the batteries are awesome and so is drill....

Iteachengineeringinhs says "Great features and works great so far." about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt DRILL/DRIVER

I have been working on a diy project for the past 2 weeks - putting cabinets in my garage to organize it. I have found myself enjoying several features such a the light for the bit. I have been able to drill inside cabinets and under cabinets without dragging a light with me or having to worry about where to drill because I cast a shadow where I marked. It has a level feature that is nice when I am drilling holes for the doors. Overall, it is powerful and has kept a charge for a long time. It is becoming my favorite cordless drill after using several others including a 14V Firestorm....

GACraftsman says "Great Drill..Especially for $100." about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt DRILL/DRIVER

sears-feed — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:00:05 GMT

Bought this drill in 2003 and used it for everything. From normal everyday uses to mixing mortar and grout for tile floors.(i.e. not exact what a cordless is designed for). And the thing held up great. 6 years of steady and sometimes grueling use before I burned it up yesterday. For $100, I'll be going to get another one very soon....

Anonymous says "Worked great for a year but..." about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt DRILL/DRIVER

sears-feed — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 08:15:08 GMT

I've always wanted to get a craftsman drill and I finally had this one given to me 1 year ago. It worked great for a year, but it just broke. The motor runs fine, but the end has no torque. I am very disappointed in the quality of this drill. Before getting this drill, I used a cheap Harbor Freight drill for about 3 years and I will go back to using that one because it still works....

HomeProjectsEngineer says "Good drill for the money" about Craftsman C3 19.2 volt DRILL/DRIVER

sears-feed — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 00:00:04 GMT

I got this drill as part of a combo pack with other C3 series power tools. This drill for me was huge upgrade from previous 7.2v B&D I owned. The B&D still runs - it just feels/handles like a toy. I had another B&D drill 14.4v Firestorm that the battery and charger both went. I like the cheap prices (when on sale) of the C3 ni-cad batteries($20).The issue I see with this drill is the chuck. On my first real project with this drill I had the chuck slip twice and I had to dig the bit from the piece of wood (2x4). I really like the value of the C3 kit so, I replaced the chuck with a Jacobs 500 Series 1/2" 20 thread chuck ($25). I had seen previous posts that stated they had issues replacing the chuck. I had no issues at all so, maybe I was lucky. Now this drill has a solid locking chuck and I see no reason to not continue to use it for years to come. I do keep a corded drill (DeWalt) for tougher projects. I did start to use this drill to install (3) dead bolts in some metal doors at the house.......
