Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Power Tool Batteries
The tools that Craftsman offered as the "Pro Series" worked great, until one by one, each battery bit the dust. I have spent thousands at Sear's over the years and I found the 2-speed drill and accurate trigger control was excellent with high torque at slow speeds and was thrilled. Went back and bought the light, saw and impact set. The saw does not last long on a good charge, the impact works great and the adjustable light was great. I went back to Sear's to pick up another battery only to find they quickly went to closeout packages. Now I have 7 bad batteries and working with one. Lithium Ion are charged between 30% to 80% for proper function & life. The battery has internal circuitry to monitor heat, state-of-health and voltage. Packed with about 9 cells in series inside the case, one cell failure causes the entire battery to fail. Cells are spot welded with metal straps to connect to obtain 20vDC. With one battery failure within a week, Sear's replaced it with slightly new case that fit and worked, yet it failed also. So, what am I saying...$500 in useless tools with 1 short timer battery working. When it goes, I will be left with a pile of useless tools. I will not buy anything at Sear's again. Being an ASE Master Tech since 78, I hate getting took and boy this is a big one. Aftermarket & a few OEM used are on the market, but the professionals who bought these have long ago, threw them out. No tool, don't need a battery. I will stick to Bosch, Makita, Festool, B&D and others. Why 3 stars? When they work, they are great. Just understand that the Stanley Tool group has control over Craftsman after 10 years with a progressive profit contract which is strange. Disappointed, upset, pile of tools. Sad!Read full review
