So my cordless tools from 2003 are finally wearing out (even with two battery upgrades over the years). The drill was just about dead, literally. They were Craftsman, standard line, in a big kit (it was the same year we bought our house, hence the reason for the purchase). I wanted to get a really good drill to replace the drill that served me 10+ years. I noticed this one on the Sears website, but never saw it in store or on sale. After some research and reading reviews, this looked like a really good model. New, modern high capacity battery, high torque and no brushes. It also comes with an aux handle, which I like. Haven't used it a ton so far, but it is nice. It is large and heavy, but it is very heavy duty to make up for it. Apparently with the new C3 Li-ion batteries I can no longer use my two chargers (it comes with one standard Li-ion battery and a charger). So I think I will start converting my other tools over as well. I believe the new batteries can be used in older 19.2V equipment, but as I said, it is time to replace most of my cordless tools so I am not too worried about it anyway. Bottom Line: Very nice tool. I expect it to last another 10+ years. |
