A cordless drill is one of those tools that everybody should have around, whether you’re working on cars, tackling home repairs, or building something in the garage. There are always shelves to hang, holes to drill, and screws that need driving, and having a decent drill makes those jobs go a whole lot faster. It’s also handy for automotive projects, from installing accessories to drilling holes for brackets or removing fasteners with the right attachments. Going with a compact model is especially nice when you’re working underneath a dashboard or trying to squeeze into a tight corner.
For a limited time, the Craftsman V20 Cordless Drill Kit is on sale at Amazon for just $79. That’s $40 off a brushless drill from a well-known tool brand, and unlike plenty of cordless tool deals, this one comes with a battery and charger. You won’t have to spend extra money just to get started, which makes it a particularly good option if you’re putting together your first set of power tools. It’s also part of Craftsman’s V20 lineup, so the battery can work with other compatible tools if you decide to expand your collection.
Rare DealAt just 6.2 inches long, the drill’s compact head should make it easier to reach fasteners in cramped spots without sacrificing too much capability. Craftsman says this model delivers up to 40% more power than other models, with a two-speed transmission and variable-speed trigger that tops out at 1,900 rpm. There’s also an LED work light for those times when you’re drilling inside a cabinet or somewhere the garage lights don’t quite reach.
The company rates it for up to 77 holes per charge under its test conditions, although actual battery life will depend on what you’re drilling. For $79 with the battery and charger included, it’s a pretty solid deal on a drill that’ll see plenty of use, no matter what you’re working on.
“Much sturdier than most cordless drills,” said one buyer. “It’s easy to handle and powerful enough for most jobs. It’s certainly a great tool to have around the house.”
“Great little drill,” echoed a second happy shopper. “It’s well-built and has good power, and it is nice for all-around use.”
