Review on CRAFTSMAN Drill Bit Set - Comprehensive 47 Piece (CMAF1247) Collection for Versatile Drilling by David Boulanger

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It serves its purpose

The first one I bought was VERY incomplete. As if half the components were missing. The replacement is brand new to me, so I can't speak to durability, but this SBD-Master (which has been rebranded and carried over from the Dewalt branding) doesn't feel as sturdy as the Sears-Craftsman predecessor, which is what it became randomly made in the USA. Unfortunately, wear parts for the Sears Craftsman version are much harder and more expensive to come by; I can get this whole SBD kit for the cost of replacement bits and blades for the old version. I've added it to my tool collection and ordered 2 extra barrels from SBD Parts so I can change bits by simply popping the barrel instead of having to change set screws. For those interested, the older version is now sold by the actual manufacturers through Rockler and possibly a few other sources.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged
