I was shocked when I saw this on Toolguyd. The Craftsmen 19.2V line of tools always looked similar and had similar specs as the Ryobi 18V tools.Is brushless going be become super common soon, or is sears trying to bring the line to be similar in quality as Ridgid? I just don’t see Ryobi going brushless so soon as it is more focused on value over performance.
That looks nice. And Brushless.
I also has an all metal jacobs ratcheting chuck. It’s a much higher quality that they usually offer on that line.
Craftsman power tools have been in a rut the last few years. I’ll be glad to see them make a move.
This is pretty interesting..My grandfather bought my Dad a craftsman 14.4 v awhile back and it was junk, Im sure they have increased there quality since then.

They haven’t. Craftsman power tools haven’t been worth a shit for years. Hope the new line changes that.
I assumed that fit just pumped the money r&d money into Milwaukee. Maybe brushless ridgid but I don’t see that coming. Brush less craftsman seams very unneeded, at least till brush less becomes the standard.
They also have a new Impact Driver being released soon.
