craftsman 20v bolt on

By bander on January 5, 2013

Great drill. I got this drill for christmas and used it a couple days after to put up my daughters swing set. It took about 5 hours to put up and the drill lasted almost the hole time and the battery was not at full charge. This is also a powerful drill and has a lot of attachments for it. I recently bought the sander attachment for it and it works great. Most attachments are are between 29 to 49 dollars. A spare battery cost about 39 at sears. My gf had bought this for 70 to 80 bucks at sears as well. the batter charges really fast, took about 45 mins to an hour to get a full charge. The charger will turn green when its done.

pros-
powerful
cheap
last long
quick charging

cons-
none yet

Awesome Drill.

By Kevin Jones on February 28, 2013

Great drill for the price (80 dollars) and for all you owners out there, the Black & Decker "Matrix" attachments work on this drill as well. I called B&D and they confirmed and I have bought several "Matrix" attachments and have had no problems whatsoever. So if Bolt-on attachments continue to be sold out you can always get "Matrix". Hope this helps!

craftsman bolt on

By f355911tt on September 2, 2013

This drill is identical to the Black and Decker bolt on matrix. You can even take the Craftsman attachments and interchange them to Black and Decker. Same tool, same specs, different name, and right now the Black and Decker model is 59 bucks. I just bought one of these craftsman and now I feel like returning it to get the cheaper Black and Decker. Why spend double plus tax in store for the same tool with different color plastic. Not to mention the handle on the Craftsman is gray and it will turn black from grease in no time while I'm using it to disassemble my motorcycle/ or truck when making repairs. I had a 14 volt craftsman impact that I was very happy with, that was all black, until somebody stole it off my front porch. I may opt for the Black and Decker just because it will stay cleaner W black handle.

The only thing I don't like about it is my previous craftsman was slightly tilted at an angle and this one is straight. The molding under the trigger also has a sharp edge on it that is uncomfortable on your middle finger. It may not be noticeable with a small hand but with a larger hand it doesn't fit the same.

After about 5 min I ended up taking a dremel and sanding the plastic under the trigger smooth. Again, may not be a problem with smaller hands/fingers.

I also noticed Black and Decker sells an $89.00 version of this same gun along with the $59 version, not really sure what could be that different other than it appears that one says 11 position clutch the other says 10 position. One has a white trigger the other one has a black trigger, they are all 20 volt lithium.

This gun is very powerful with the impact on it, almost too fast if you only need to use it for removing Light hardware even though it is variable speed.Read more ›

Bolt-On Good, Craftsman Bad...

By Brandon on August 18, 2014

I really like this system, however, I am really growing irritated with Craftsman... I have just about all of the attachments, and I use most of them on average 2-3 times a month., so not heavy use, and certainly not contractor level work.

It's nice to have a compact set around that pretty much fits into a small (18" x 12" x 10") bag. It usually has enough power to do what I want it to do and the battery has plenty of charge even on tough jobs (unlike the old diehard 19.5V system...). Whether I'm wood working, working on my car, repairing a wall/drain/old chair, there is a use for it. I also just purchased the (B&D) corded power unit, which is pretty nice, when there's power within range...

The reason this loses two stars from me is because of Craftsman and their current mentality. I have been looking for the past couple of weeks for a way to replace/repair my unit because the motor burned out. This happens with battery powered electronics, and it served it's time (~2 years), so I'm not holding that against it. However, the only option seems to be to buy a whole new set. I don't need the drill attachment, or the battery, or the charger... I have several spare batteries from other items in the same family and they charge fast enough that a second charger is just silly.

So, rather than buying what I need from the manufacturer, I'm forced to go to ebay where I can get just the handle and the drill (still getting another unwanted drill :P ) for about $30.

Just to be thorough, here is a list of options I've found, these all include shipping:
*Replace whole drill $79.99 in store, $85.99 here
*Buy B&D Matrix (same tool) here or in Walmart for $58.10
*Buy just the Craftsman power unit and drill attachment from ebay for $32.Read more ›

I use my tools every day and this is now my go to tool system

By piloo on September 13, 2013

I use my tools every single day and I have zero tolerance for poorly made tools. So i was skeptical when i got this drill from my wife for Christmas. She knew that my last drill was finally getting to the point where the Ni-cad batteries no longer stayed charged and it just looked abused in general. Fresh out of the box this is a great drill for the price. It's really powerful and the bolt on system works like a dream. Every single attachment is excellent and works as you would hope and expect with a nice tight fit and the power to do it's job. Now I would love to say that this ranks up there with Makita and Bosch drills, but what sets those drills apart isn't so much their functionality when brand new, it's how long they last and how much abuse they can take. So really the Bolt On system is probably priced too low to expect the motor being made of a high percentage of industrial duty steel parts, but for what it is this is a damn good drill. The interchange system is easy and fits tight. The battery is excellent and charges quickly, the motor is powerful, and the entire assembly seems well made. Just as a drill this is an excellent tool, but as a multi functional tool system there is just no comparison in value and overall quality to compare it to anything else.
