I've been looking at getting a impact and this video alone sold me on the Craftsman 1/4 inch. I picked it up today and used it a couple times now...I love this thing! Nice vid 👍
have used that impact every day for a year as a tech, does a flawless job, wish it had a little more breaking power for lug nuts but either than that its flawless
I'm sorry but you people need help impact drivers apply torque only in forward to driver bolts into wood, you have it mistaken for a impact gun to which has torque in forward and reverse learn the difference
I have whole set of craftsman 20 volt tools like Drill, 18guage nailer, impact driver and many more tools i use almost everyday it's been about a year using it still haven't have any problem really great product for great price.
Great review man!! I bought the 1/2 inch impact 1/4 inch drill driver drill and grinder 2 small batteries 2 big batteries and 2 chargers used for 220.00 love them so much went bought a skill saw for 75.00 at Lowes they all work great. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun
I saw your video and I was impressed with 1/4 impact, I ran to Lowe's and bought it put it to the test for 80 lbs and it fail, I'm staying with Ryobi.. with that been said that is a very good video..
Well I don't work on my truck much but I'm not a mechanic. I baught the same kit for $99. $104 after taxes. I do plumbing for a living and I just needed the impact for other things and drill. Only complaint I had was the drill doesn't have a hammer setting. Other than that I'm good with both tools and so far it's been doing what I needed it for. Wished I had a milwaukee but craftsman will do for now. Could've been worse I was going to buy wallmart hyper tough.
Got this in a 7 tool set for $271 from ace hardware (was 20% off. Normally $329) impact, hammer drill, multitool, skil saw, sawzall, grinder, flash light, charger and 2 batteries. It's all been really awesome. Had used the same for over a year at work and finally sprung for my own. They kick ass! Are they the best? No. Do they do everything I need and more for the best price? Absolutely. If you can afford, definitely get the 7 tool set. It's a way better deal overall.
I didn’t know how cool my little impact drill was, paid 109 for the set with 2 batteries, come onnn! I wonder if this would burn it out just doing it once and a while
just bought this today! the one with 1500 torque it seem works really good as i see on your video bro! 👌🏼 so for a few use on changing tired will work perfect!
Don't know how you did it, I bought one and did the same test you did, I could not loosen the lugs at 80 lbs so I took it back. I bought a fake BL Makita for under $50 tool only, I have Makita tool's. And it's a beast. My 1/4 Makita couldn't do it either but it's not BL the craftsman. Great video thank you..
I've got the same combo. The drill is a piece of junk, the impact driver is the star. The drill had a wobbly jaw since day one and today it sounds like the gears are stripping out. With the clutch set to the tightest setting the jaw stops spinning but motor keeps turning, it sounds like it's jumping gears internally. I barely even used the drill because the wobbly jaw was driving me nuts, so I stuck to my DeWalt. Guess we'll see how the warranty process works at Lowe's.
@@TheModAddict More than likely. I've felt some demo ones on display at Lowe's - half have the wobbly chuck, the other half don't. Either way that has no effect on the internal gears. I also have the brushed DeWalt sister drill, and that has no play after two years of hard abuse. I bought this combo because it was on sale for $80, and I needed an impact driver. Was a good way to get into the Craftsman line. The impact has been great so far. As far as warranty is concerned, you have to go through Craftsman for the V20 lineup... Lowe's will refuse to help unless it's within the return window.
My freind has that kit and is great for a beginner. The drill leaves a lot to be desired and the impact could be better. Not great for automotive use, it just lacks in power. Used it for a framing job and the battery died after about 30 to 40 4” screws. For comparison sake I have the ridgid subcompact and it sunk about 80 -100 of those same screws before I had to swap batteries. the ridgid did a better job but is brushless, has a slightly bigger battery and that kit was twice the price. These are great for around the house but there are many kits out there that do the same and are a better price.
I would like to see how many lug nuts you could take off on a single fully charged battery. One lug nut is no big deal. If the battery is spent on just one wheel, then I don’t want it. Nice video though.
I'm by no means the jack of all trades but I like to change the oil in my truck..I tried with a cheap 20 dollar socket set and it broke...I asked my dad what one to get and he said get a craftsman set those wont break..and sure enough I changed my oil thanks to craftsman lol
For $99 I would use it an abuse it till it dies then go buy another one. Sure there are probably better but at what price??? For a DIYer it’s probably all you really need.
I got this set for Christmas 2020. The charger has been defective since new. Bad straight out of the box. Person who bought the gift did not keep receipt, Lowe’s wants $85 for the charger. I guess these are going in the trash.
That's a impact for screws and lag bolts that the wrong way to use it u need a impact wrench not a impact driver I guess u can take off lugs but it will not last long get a impack wrench
I jist used my for my lug nuts...no problem. I know its not meant for it but for a on the side of the road, emergency situation; this will do the trick to change out a tire.
@@vince2997using that thing for tire changes is just down right stupid! Especially if you are tightening the lugs. Just get a tire iron, they're only $12. It's not worth your lungs falling off while driving down the road.
@@certifiedyaminspector-dadd6224 thats why I said EMERGENCY. Emergency as in, [you] dont have a tire iron in your car in the middle of nowhere. You have a sprained wrist and cant break loose the lug nuts...whatever the reason. Of course you wouldn't want to use this every day for maintenance....thats what impact WRENCHES are for. As far as wheels falling off..this driver has a impact rating close to 135 ft lbs. Ive never seen a car have more than 100 max. Im sure your wheel wouldnt ve falling off anytime soon.

I got this set like a week ago is a beast an for the price you can’t beat that they still have it on sale for $99 at Lowe’s!!!
This thing is a BEAST I used it all the time and I'm a desiel machanic I've had over a year now, nice test man, I've really put mine to the test

I want to request to use the impact removing the harmonic balancer 19mm using the other one.If it loosen it I will buy it at Lowe's!
Yeah, that honda bolt is a Bitch! That would be a great review!
I saw your video and I was impressed with 1/4 impact, I ran to Lowe's and bought it put it to the test for 80 lbs and it fail, I'm staying with Ryobi.. with that been said that is a very good video..
Thank you, Sorry to hear that but mine really works pretty well
It is a Ryobi. TTI is the same company making them both. Even porter and cable is the same. So if it failed. Prob defect or user error.
@@unknowmysteries5925 Ryobi is not that good of a brand..they are a bit better than walmarts brand Hart..I will say that.
@@unknowmysteries5925 wrong. Stanley owns craftsman. Ryobi is TTI
@@unknowmysteries5925 not true Craftsman is owned by Stanley Black & Decker the same company that makes DeWalt
I got the brushless one
Love them

I recently bought the impact, really cool power tool.

Great vid..always use torque wrench to tighten lugs it will keep rotors or drums from warping..👍
I feel like returning my Dewalt and getting this kit!
I’m sure dewalt is more robust
nice video brother, i just bought this bad boy, what is that adapter so you can put on sockets to this impact driver?
That's a 1/2" socket adapter
That adapter is for driving lag bolts and ledger screws & such. Not at all for removing lug nuts.
@@certifiedyaminspector-dadd6224 I believe the point of the video was to push 1/4in impact driver to the limit..

Id say you got a bad one then.. my drill has been amazing

great review! thank you
I have the brushed and the brushless models both are great but gotta said the brushless its way more powerfull, smaller and lighter.
The latest craftsman 20v tools are just revamped outdated 18v dewalt models. Which is still dope af
Wow bro nice video information I like that impact driver from craftsman 💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah it’s great
damn that is crazy!!! Is the CMCF800 or CMCF810?
Love mine keep it up craftsman.
Thats a hell of deal!
I bought one.

same deal picked mine up. 12/23
I am going to buy one at my local lowes.
Good video not to be rude or that guy. But should never bounce a torque wrench like that. Should be a steady push to be accurate
Just got one today
Thank you!

What torque wrench were you using here?
Nice video
Nice vid i own 1 myself💪🏿
Impact drivers are for driving. Impact wrenches are for loosening.
For $99 I would use it an abuse it till it dies then go buy another one. Sure there are probably better but at what price??? For a DIYer it’s probably all you really need.
Yess
Pay the extra 50 for the dewalt set.
Iv had two of these have issues with the triggers
Isn’t the impact driver?
How about a 3/8 on lug nuts?
I tried mine on my Lugnuts won’t even budge them and they’re all in tied down to 90 pounds
Wow. I just paid $179 at Stines.
I got this set for Christmas 2020. The charger has been defective since new. Bad straight out of the box. Person who bought the gift did not keep receipt, Lowe’s wants $85 for the charger. I guess these are going in the trash.
Buy those tools separately for $49 each. You will get an extra charger.
How do you lock the bit into the impact driver?
pull the sleeve up and put the bit in and lower the sleeve.
Whats the battery life on a fully charged battery
Mine last pretty long before having to recharge.
Is that the American made version?
Yes
No, only the brushless line is made in USA. These are made in China. It says it on the label. CMCD700 and CMCF800.
If it was made in USA it be all over the box with sticker on it like dewalt has
That's a impact for screws and lag bolts that the wrong way to use it u need a impact wrench not a impact driver I guess u can take off lugs but it will not last long get a impack wrench
You're definitely gonna need that warranty if you keep using that driver on lug nuts. That thing wont last you a full year

You cut it at 2:28 tho and at 2:57 so idk don’t seem legit lol
def didn't, you would hear the background nose of a fan or whatever skip out.
It can’t be.. why is this satisfying?I’m only 20¿
It’s impressive but it’s not for lugnuts
I was just testing it's peak
What happen if I use on longnuts?
@@chinelitomxyou may overtighten the lugnuts.
You tend to overtouq
