The drill has a 3/8″ chuck while many newer drill have a 1/2″ chuck. The 20oz bottle-sized drill can stand upright on a flat surface. The shape of the drill allows it to stand upright on a flat surface, it isn’t very stable like this, but it is handy nonetheless (+1). The batteries are much smaller and lighter than my old 18volt NiCd’s (+2). My initial reaction was that the grip was too thick (-1), and I have average to above average sized male hands, but I’ve gotten used to it. The drill itself is compact and light weight but feels very solid and durable in your hand (+1). The drill was within my price range (+1) and I’ve always had good experiences with Craftsman products (+1). You may be able to find other online merchants. The only place you can buy Craftsman tools is at Sears because Sears owns the Craftsman brand. The drill comes with 2 lithium-ion batteries, a charger, a case, and screwdriver bit and costs about $100. Craftsman NEXTEC 12Volt lithium-ion drill combo I liked the compact size and weight of lithium-ion drills but was put off a little by their higher price tags. My old drill was large and heavy and not very easy to carry around or to pull out to drill one quick hole so, I was interested in slightly smaller drills but I also looked at larger models. My old 18volt drill had plenty of power for me so I looked mostly at models in the 14-18 volt range. I wanted a drill with enough power for typical household repairs and projects, one with good batteries, one that was easy to use, and one that cost about $100-125. This review is my personal opinion on this product.
I have not received any form of compensation from Sears or Craftsman. What follows is my review of that drill after using it for several months. I did a TON of homework, checked out a bunch of different drills, and finally decided on the Craftsman NEXTEC 12Volt lithium-ion drill ( Amazon link). I figured out that a new drill would cost about the same as 2 new batteries so, I went shopping for a new cordless drill.
The measurement is often misunderstood as, for example, “a 5Ah battery will power a 5 amp device for one hour”.The NiCd batteries for my old Craftsman 18Volt cordless drill finally died and I have been unable to fix them (yet). This is often referred to as the 'capacity' of a battery. 20v MAX and Flexvolt batteries are not only too powerful, but they are physically too large for the receptacles on these pint-sized devices.Īh, Ampere Hour or Amp Hour all describe the same characteristic of a battery – how long it will last when connected to the item it is powering. These smaller batteries only fit on tools labeled as 12v MAX, and vice versa. Power tool batteries are used in cordless industrial applications such as Construction, Maintenance, Plumbing, Servicing, and DIY. The NiMH also are more environmentally friendly than the alternative, and it is generally profitable to recycle them.
Exercise cycles are also required by the user less often. NiMH batteries have a typical 30-40% capacity over NiCd. They are fast to charge and can take a high number of charges, increasing longevity. They usually have a low selling price, because the battery does not need special conditions when shipped. NiCd batteries are usually cylindrical, but other options do exist. Li-ion batteries have a lower self-discharge, greatly increasing their shelf life. They have a high energy density meaning they can deliver more to a power-hungry power tool. Li-Ion batteries are small, light and easy to carry. Our range of batteries types varying from Li-Ion, NiCd or NiMH. Battery packs can hold several hours of charge, therefore, you don’t need to worry about them running out of charge.
