Craftsman 4.0V
The Only Thing it Screws is You
An undersized lithium-ion battery dramatically limits the Craftsman's runtime. We only managed 14 wood screws before the battery crapped out - even after a two-hour charge. And though its shape fit well in our hands, the bit tucks so tightly into the handle that the driver's body blocked our view of screws. One bright note: the Craftsman's single speed is fine for most applications.
WIRED Kit includes 21 Phillips, slotted, Robertson, Allen, and Torx driver bits. Built-in light bulb is easily replaceable. Craftsman includes a spare bulb in the package.
TIRED A light bulb instead of an LED? How 1999. Integrated battery. No charging stand.
