CRAFTSMAN V20 CMCD711C2 Hammer Drill Kit

Drilling anchors in brick, block and concrete

Choose this hammer drill kit when masonry anchors are part of the job and two batteries are useful. CRAFTSMAN's page conflicts on whether those batteries are 1.5 Ah or 1.3 Ah, so confirm capacity if runtime planning depends on the exact figure.

  • Two batteries are included

Caveats

Who this kit suits

This kit suits jobs that include masonry anchors in brick, block or concrete. CRAFTSMAN lists 25,500 blows per minute, 280 unit watts out, two speed ranges of 0 to 350 and 0 to 1,500 rpm, and 23 clutch settings. A plain drill/driver may be sufficient when masonry is never part of the work.

What comes in the box

CRAFTSMAN lists the CMCD711 brushed hammer drill, two V20 lithium-ion batteries and a V20 charger. The drill has a 1/2 in keyless chuck, and the specification table identifies no case. CRAFTSMAN states that 20 volts is the maximum initial battery voltage and 18 volts is nominal voltage.

Check these before buying

Battery capacity conflicts within CRAFTSMAN's page. The page title says the kit has 1.5 Ah batteries, while the package list says two 1.3 Ah batteries. The evidence does not resolve the discrepancy, so confirm the included pack capacity when runtime planning depends on it.

Drilling concrete, brick, block and mortar creates respirable crystalline silica dust covered by OSHA guidance. Plan suitable dust control and respiratory protection before starting masonry work, and follow the tool and accessory instructions for the material being drilled.
