Our Verdict. The Craftsman V20 1/2-In Drill/Driver Kit CMCD700C1 isn't the most powerful or high-performing cordless drill we have tested so far but we were pleasantly surprised with its performance given its much more affordable price tag when compared to the best drills.

The reason for this is that Stanley Black & Decker (SBD) manufactured the Craftsman 20V Max line.

This V20* 6.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery provides up to 4.5x the capacity versus the standard V20* MAX Lithium-Ion Battery. It is compatible with all CRAFTSMAN® V20* tools and equipment. Each pack is equipped with a 3-LED state-of-charge indicator for immediate battery charge information.

V20* Cordless Brushless 1/2-in. Drill/Driver (2 Batteries) is ready for your drilling and fastening needs featuring a brushless motor providing you with up to 60% more run time. Need to work in a dark area, no worries.

Yes, Craftsman and DeWalt are Owned by Stanley Black & Decker. Stanley Black & Decker (SBD) turned heads when it bought Craftsman Tools in 2017 after Sears closed 235 stores in 2015. The company owns many brands, however. Dating back to 1843 with a man named Frederick Stanley, the company quickly formed its roots.

Craftsmen has some decent tools. They aren't like dewalt or Milwaukee but they do the job. If you don't want to spend a fortune then it's not a bad idea to get the set. That's a huge set and if you don't have all the tools in it then maybe it's worth buying.
