Additionally, the Sears model will charge quite quickly. Mine can charge in less than 1 hour (it's a 16 volt and is 2 years old.)

Then wholesale its $12-15/and it cost $6 to 10 to make.I would say its a light weight drill.I pay $250-300 for 18vlt dewalts,these are rotary hammer drills.You can build a deck with these.And the dewalts will fail/burn up afterabout a year or two.

My Dewalt (corded, the one around $50-70 6amp and 3/8") is dying after about 3 years of heavy homeowner use. Probably used about 100 times....companies know under heavy use most power tools have a 2 year life span and only warranty them for 1 year.

With the quick charging, high torque, and capacity of modern cordless drills I wouldn't be surprised if corded drills/tools become dinosaurs soon.

Why would you buy a Craftsman drill and pay extra $$ when you could buy the exact same drill under Ryobi name for a lot less? Ryobi OEMs Craftsman drills.
