i got that craftsman kit, no complaints. the dril is a tad heavy with the larger chuck but the smaller one isnt too bad. the right angle drill is nice too can get into some tight spots with it.

I've got a craftsman drill and impact. I love em to death. more so the impact but still. I've used makita impact's and there awesome a little bit less torque but much lighter.

I've had a 19.2v craftsman drill for 3 years now and it's still going strong. Battery lasts a long *** time and it's never given me problems drilling through pretty much everything

I got a dewalt jigsaw and it's also good. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Look into SKIL products.. Very affordable and can take a beating... My 18v drill is more power then I will ever need... But to answer your question I would go with the craftsman

Of the two id pick the dewalt, like mentioned they may not be all they were a few years back but still a **** good drill. The other thing is didnt like about the craftsman was it was akward and heay, if im going to working overhead i want something that doesnt feel lcumsy and to me the dewalt is better balanced if that makes any sense.

Last year I bought the combo pack at HD for the makita li-ion 18v impact and drill, I will never use anything else again. Similar setup for sale tomorrow at HD for 199.

Also, the dewalt is balanced really well.

craftsman is really garbage stuff - I bought an Hatachi and I love it

About the only thing craftsman still makes great is auto hand tools

but the rest of thier stuff is relabled chinese junk

Well actually today I bought the craftsman kit, looks solid, an nice power. The dewalt deal was the low end 18v and I passed. The right angle also sold me, along with a 3 year replacement on the craftsman

I own an 18V dewalt impact (dc825), the one that has the 1/4" hex. Now whenever I need a drill i just pop in the bits, if i need impact put in the adapter and impact sockets. These "impacts" are like a two in one. Can't beat that.

you can find this on ebay with bat and charger for around ~$200.

i love mine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
