Overview

Also from Craftsman's 20 volt lineup, the CMCH234B is a cordless drill rated at 6 amps and weighing 6.09 pounds. It too ships as a bare tool, without a battery included.

The bare tool listing lines up with a buyer already using Craftsman's 20 volt system, since the battery and charger are a separate purchase otherwise. At just over 6 pounds it sits in typical weight range for a compact cordless drill.

Who it's for

Suited to someone who already has Craftsman V20 batteries and wants to add a drill to that set without paying for power again. Not the right pick for a buyer who wants everything in one box.

Performance notes

The 20 volt motor is rated at 6 amps, and running cordless off Craftsman's battery platform trades a power cord for portability. At 6.09 pounds it stays light enough for one-handed drilling over extended use.
