When we talk about Craftsman tool reviews, we tend to think more about the news. In particular, the 2017 news that Stanley Black and Decker owns Craftsman tools. What that means for the Craftsman brand, no one knows. What we do know entails a stiff climb for Craftsman tools if they want to get back on top of the consumer market. There have been some solid performers like the Craftsman Nextec right angle impact driver. As for modern tools, the Craftsman C3 drill/driver is a bit dated and could use a refresh. Craftsman conductive charging may be something to keep an eye out for. Craftsman Tool Reviews for DIYers and Some Pros While we don’t recommend a lot of Craftsman tools for Pros, our Craftsman tool reviews may be helpful when you want a tool for a short period of time. Until Stanley Black and Decker decides the fate of Craftsman we won’t know exactly what to expect.
The Craftsman C3 19.2V Compact Lithium-Ion Drill/Driver 11910 is the most recent addition to the already extensive line of the C3 tool system. The latest technology was used to build this compact and ergonomic drill that is 30% lighter and has features normally associated with a full size drill. Standard with a 1/2†keyless chuck, two speed gear box, 24 position adjustable torque clutch and a built in LED work light in the handle.
The Craftsman 4.8 Volt Pistol Screwdriver is a handyman’s (or handywoman’s) “go-to” tool. This rechargeable pistol grip screwdriver is perfect for those around the house jobs for which the big boy tools are simply too darn cumbersome. We tested out this pistol grip screwdriver in a variety of jobs and found it to be long lasting and perfect for most basic projects, provided you didn’t expect much torque or require the finesse of a variable speed drill.
