A power drill and impact driver are two of the most versatile, fundamental power tools there are. Grabbing a kit that has both, along with batteries, bits, and a bag, is a simple way to kickstart a power tool collection. And right now it’s also quite an inexpensive way, as Amazon has heavily discounted such a kit from Craftsman.
The Craftsman V20 Max Cordless Drill Driver and Impact Driver Set is on sale for $99, 41% off its $169 list price. The high quality of the tools and inclusion of various accoutrements make this set a good value at full price. But with this discount, it’s a certified steal.
Selling FastThis kit includes a cordless 1/2-inch drill and driver, a cordless 1/4-inch impact driver, two 1.5Ah batteries, a charger, a storage bag, a #2 Phillips bit, and a double-sided bit. The drill and driver has a two-speed gearbox and an LED work light, making it a powerful and user-friendly tool. The stubbier impact driver has a quick release chuck, 2,800 rpm motor, and 3,100 bpm impact mechanism that makes it more powerful than the drill and better suited for heavier tasks. Both tools run on the included V20 batteries and are also compatible with Craftsman’s VersaTrack storage system.
One shopper called this “a solid set for home projects and general use” because “both tools feel well made, have good power, and are easy to handle.” The batteries are on the smaller side — in terms of both capacity and weight — but they “last well for typical jobs,” making this set “a dependable kit for DIYers.”
Another customer wrote that after two years of “use and abuse, both still run like new.” Plus, the “batteries work forever and charge super fast.”
