Review on 🔌 CRAFTSMAN CMCD700C1 Cordless Drill Driver: Powerfully Efficient and Versatile Tool by Dan Chunn

Craftsman CMCD700C1 Kit includes 700 Series drill/screwdriver, 1.3Ah Li-Ion battery and charger. The battery and motor are designed for an output of 280 UWh. Speeds 0-400 in first gear and 0-1500 in second gear. Multiple clutch positions are available to provide the perfect setting for screwdriving on any project. Also, there is a drilling position to lock the clutch when you are drilling holes. The battery pack features a 3-LED indicator so you can see how much power is left at the touch of a button, while a bright white LED illuminates your work when you pull the trigger. Master was good at home maintenance and could even drive a car. 3 inch decking screws in pressure treated lumber, although they had some trouble once the screws reached their full depth. This drill/driver is very efficient and will be a welcome addition to any homeowner's toolbox and most people will be happy with it. But in recent years there have been many improvements in cordless tools as well as lower prices. Comparing this Craftsman drill driver to my DeWalt DCD777C2, it's clear that the DeWalt is slightly better in almost every category. DeWalt is more compact (see photo), has a stronger and faster 340uWh, 1750rpm (brushless) motor. , comes with 2 batteries instead of one and includes a carrying case. At the time of writing, the Craftsman is $79 and the DeWalt is $99. That doesn't mean Craftsman has anything superfluous - it's a great tool. It's just that he's a little behind in this phase of the value wars. But if you don't need a second battery or carrying case, Craftsman offers a nice $20 savings over DeWalt.
