Overview
The Craftsman CMCD711D1 is a 20 volt cordless drill drawing 2 amps, with a single speed rated to 1500 RPM. It weighs 2.53 kilograms and carries a 3.9 average rating across 220 ratings, lower than many drills in Craftsman's cordless line.
This is a compact cordless drill on Craftsman's 20V platform, built around a 2 amp motor and a top speed of 1500 RPM rather than the higher torque, multi speed gearing found on heavier duty models. The 3.9 star average, while still a majority positive score, sits below what most tools in this category post, worth weighing alongside the spec sheet rather than the sticker alone.
- 20 volt battery power
- 2 amp motor
- 1500 RPM top speed
- 2.53 kilogram weight
Who it's for
Fits homeowners who need a light, 20 volt drill for basic drilling and driving tasks around the house. Less suited to anyone doing repeated heavy duty work, given the single speed setting and the lower average rating relative to peers.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Lightweight at 2.53 kilograms
- Runs on Craftsman's 20V battery platform
- Single speed setting only
- 3.9 average rating trails category peers
- Modest 2 amp motor
Performance notes
The 2 amp motor and single 1500 RPM speed setting point to a drill built for light drilling and driving rather than sustained heavy use, and at 2.53 kilograms it stays manageable for one handed work. The 3.9 average rating across 220 ratings is lower than most cordless drills in this price range, a figure worth factoring into the decision alongside the spec sheet.
