I'm looking to get a drill for some woodworking projects and was wondering if the Craftsman CMCF921B is any good? Has anyone used it before?

Yeah, I've been using it for a couple of months now and it's been working great! The 20-volt brushless motor really provides ample power for my projects. Plus, there's an article with an overview at Overview of the Craftsman CMCF921B Drill if you want to check it out.

That sounds interesting! Thanks for sharing the link, @DragonWang. I'm particularly interested in the speed settings and how well it handles different materials. Has anyone had any experience with that?

I've seen some reviews online that mentioned the 0-2,900 RPM motor speed, so I think it should be pretty versatile for various tasks. But I'd love to hear some real-life experiences from you guys.

I've used the CMCF921B for a few woodworking projects and I must say the adjustable speed settings are really useful! You can easily control the drill's performance based on the material you're working with, which is great for preventing damage.

That's good to know, @Camick17. Another thing I'd like to mention is the 1/4-inch chuck. It has made it much easier for me to work with smaller bits and accessories.

Thanks for the insights everyone! So, what about battery life? How does this drill perform in that aspect?

The battery life definitely depends on how much you use the drill and the type of tasks. I've found that for moderate usage, the battery lasts quite long before needing a recharge.

True, but it's always good to have an extra battery on hand just in case. That way, you won't be left waiting while the current one charges.

Absolutely! I've had situations where I needed another battery, and having a spare really saved me some time. Plus, the Craftsman website offers great deals on additional batteries if you're interested.

Great advice, everyone! Thanks for your input. I think this drill might be perfect for my needs. The power, versatility, and portability of the CMCF921B make it a top choice in my book.
