I like equipment. I appreciate "Tim the Toolman Taylor" Equipment. Bigger is far better! More Energy! Oo-OoO! So when Craftsman sent me the NEXTEC Cord-less 12 volt Power Equipment last spring they were utilised by me, wrote numerous articles or blog posts on these sweet small equipment and then promptly put them down in my basement workshop. These were superior, lightweight equipment. They had loads of strength, but I still went back to my "large" tools. I forgot about them essentially.

Following that, I went into my nearby Sears all around Thanksgiving and I noticed clients virtually purchasing the NEXTEC Lithium-Ion Drill/Drivers as fast as the shop personnel could put them away. What was seriously unusual to me is these NEXTEC twelve volt drills had been flying off the shelves, but no-a single was getting the DeWalt DCD710 12V Potential lithium drill from your show appropriate with the NEXTEC's. I knew is has been a nice minor drill, but I did not think absolutely everyone else loved it that considerably. The very same factor was happening using the Craftsman NEXTEC 12. Volt Appropriate Angle Influence Driver was offering effectively but nobody was acquiring the Dewalt DCF815 12V MAX 1/four impact driver ideal following to it.

By way of the winter I transfer to a accessible space in the basement. It truly is little, just ten X 10 feet so I do not possess room for a amount of stuff. My router, a workbench obtaining a timber vise, numerous hand tools and a set-up desk. There is certainly no place for my table observed, miter noticed, jointer and drill push. I come across yourself cutting my hardwood out in the unheated garage, bringing it downstairs, fitting it up, heading back out within the garage location to drill the holes or joint an advantage, back down stairways......you get the image.

Nicely, while I had been receiving the room prepared for the winter I observed the NEXTEC tools and manufactured a decision to consider a very good difficult get a appear at them again.

We made the decision that I would use these equipment exclusively in my personal downstairs workshop this wintertime.

What I like:

Bodyweight. The NEXTEC resources weigh only of even my lightest cordless drill half.

Size. An uncomplicated activity to take care of also for small fingers. Will not really feel too modest just like the tiny cordless screwdrivers for big hands

Energy. Have as much power as the former 15.six products and I think a finish good deal additional power than the old seven.2, 9.6, ten.8 and 14.4 resources. Extra vitality in contrast to the C3 19.two volt Model 17191

In the rest of the post I will give brief overview of every instrument:

Craftsman NEXTEC twelve.0V Lithium-Ion Drill/Driver Model 17586 What I like: It expenses not even half of DeWalt DCD710 12V Likely Drill. It weighs significantly less at only two.two lbs. applying the 12. Volt Lithium-Ion battery. It will quickly fit into your hand and place on the wallet of your perform apron simply. This is the most helpful drill available on the market for the pounds. They have 195 in.-lbs. of Torque which is plenty for most of the tasks close to your residence. It has a 2-Velocity Gearbox and a three/8-In . Personal Sleeve Keyless Chuck. Plenty of guys thin they require a 1/2 inches chuck, but if you go as a result of the wall at the nearest hardware shop 95% from the drill pieces and screwdriving pieces will conveniently fit into this drill. 18 Location Versatile Torque Clutch. Integrated Directed Get the job done Light. 30-Minute Fast Charger What I cannot stand: I actually like this drill and about the just matter I'd dress in it would be a battery charge indicator. It could possibly be great to know when the battery is about to complete out.

Craftsman NEXTEC 12. Volt Proper Angle Influence Driver Model 17562 What I like: Even though Sears states this has only 700 in pounds of torque a whole lot of us truly feel it has as significantly energy as the Dewalt DCF815 12V MAX one/4 impact driver for a great deal much less dollars. We liked the proper angle push furthermore. It is going to get into areas the other drills can not. What I can not stand: The right angle takes a incredibly tiny practice to acquire utilized to. When you 1st use it...make use of both hands until eventually you obtain the sense for that effect driver. You then shall get pleasure from working with it.

Craftsman 17428 Nextec 12-volt Cordless Small 1/4 Effect Driver Style 17428 What I really like: Very same unwanted fat and feel as the Model 17586 Drill/Drivers. What I cannot stand: Could use a electric battery meter.

twelve-volt NEXTEC Multi-Instrument Model 17438 What I like: Multi-resources are immediately starting up to be the go-to device for slicing, sanding, grout scraping and removal. This light-excess weight device can perform the perform of the cut noticed quickly, jamb noticed, drywall noticed, detail sander, rotary grout gadget, carbide cutter and paint scraper. The Craftsman NEXTEC is amid the lightest of the bunch also it shall accept the Fein attachments. Hence offering it probably the most versatility of all the mulit-resources out there. It gives a lot of capacity to do every single one of these duties round the house. The batteries ultimate about twenty a few minutes through constant make use of, charge in half an hour and you may get a 2nd battery if you want one particular for under $25. What I don't like: Eventually I would like to locate out quick release edge changing. It requires simply 30 seconds to improve the instrument today, but I want to do it quicker!

NEXTEC 12-volt Lithium-Ion Hammerhead Vehicle Hammer Model 11818 What I like: I do not use nails really normally any longer. I use screws for most of my woodworking tasks, but the some other day I place a handful of a lot more lights in the basement and the Hammerhead has been the right tools to toe nail the outlet containers into the rafters. It only took thirty seconds to nail the box into the beam no BENT NAILS! What I do not like: Craftsman will be coming out with a new version of this about Might 2011. I will wait to then give you my stage of view.

Craftsman NEXTEC 12.0V Lithium-Ion True Surface finish™ Sander Design and style 61326 What I like: This is a "Pc mouse" dimension sander nevertheless it has two massive benefits in excess of all an additional sanders like it on the industry. One particular, it is cordless! The battery lasts a extended, lengthy time. Two, It normally does not make your hands go numb! The built in counter balancer cancels away the tactile hand numbing vibration you're utilised to. What I do not like: NO One particular is mindful of this sander! It will come in one package and you can get the "bare" gadget on the net but extremely couple of individuals acknowledge how wonderful this sander will be.

Craftsman NEXTEC 12.0V Lithium-Ion Round Saw Model 61325 What I appreciate: This is the one particular device in the NEXTEC line that I need to say i will not like. They have sufficiently capability to reduced difficult maple even, but the design and style is all incorrect. The base plate "shoe" is too major for your saw, The noticed mark within the shoe is too a great deal away from the cutting tool. It isn't going to possess a laser manual, the lighting is in the wrong place, the blades are commonly as well thick and there isn't enough of a variety of cutter patterns. What I will not like: Oops, I by now told you what I can not stand.

Craftsman 14299 Nextec 12-volt Cordless Multi-Saw Design 14299 What I adore: I use this saw a full whole lot for that dimension, power, and versatility. It includes a total lot of power for that dimension and is genuinely useful for these rapid slashes. It employs normal jig saw cutting blades that can come in each and every styles and dimensions. What I will not like: It typically does not possess a "blower" to aid retain the sawdust from your minimize line.

Craftsman NEXTEC twelve volt LED Worklight Model 14298 What I adore: This can be a fantastic perform light and flashlight for the residence. It will run constantly for hours on one particular battery electrical power and the electrical battery stays charged for more than per 12 months unless of course you use it. The head swivels at beneath the sink get the job done also it seems up basically by itself. What I can't stand: My wife noticed it, and right away stole it to put on her nightstand! Currently if it just arrived in decorator colours!

Craftsman twelve Volt Nextec Modest Lithium-Ion battery Model 11221 What I like: You can acquire further batteries for much less than $25. A good deal of power for that dimension. (as significantly as your outdated 14.four batteries) Will maintain a fee for up to a 12 months. With the brand new charger Craftsman just introduced will recharge to 25% in less than three minutes. What I never like: I would like just a little clip therefore i can hang a spare on my belt.

Summary: The Craftsman NEXTEC twelve volt Cordless power tools are fantastic for property owners. They are light-weight, simple and reliable within the wallet to get. They function amazingly effectively at the size and cost a whole lot significantly less than some other companies. I would suggest these resources hugely.
