A number of Craftsman Professional hand tools have been incredibly difficult to find recently, as if much of the entire line was being discontinued. Well, it looks like the Craftsman Pro 20V cordless power tools have been discontinued as well.
During a recent stroll around the local Sears, I spotted a selection of Craftsman’s 20V cordless power tool add-ons on the clearance shelves. These tools are no longer listed on Sears or Craftsman’s online stores, so it may be safe to say that the 20V Craftsman Professional lineup has been discontinued nationwide.
At these prices – $21 for the bare drill/drivers and circular saws, it may be worth it to hobbyists to pick up the tools for their posts. Drill-motor-powered robots, anyone?
Unfortunately, there were no starter kits available, and spare batteries and chargers were full price.
Well, when those batteries go up on clearance I will be there. I got 7 1/4 circular saw and impact driver. Two awesome tools. Though the battery made the impact a little bulky but the circular saw is a charm for any one who has used it. Guess my next investment in battery tools will be Milwaukee or dewalt.
I have a co-worker who uses a Craftsman 20.0V professional drill. At these prices, he would definetly be interested to know this information. Thank you Toolguyd.
The Craftsman professional series tools/ batteries are a tad bulky, but they hold their own.
Greg, just a tiny tiny wee little suggestion: MILWAUKEE!
You can tell which team I’m on…
Sorry in advance if I stirred this debate up again…
I’m not sure it’s a good investment. I’m assuming the batteries are being discontinued as well.
Just talked to craftsman ,and they indeed discontinued this line,,,too bad I really liked them. Craftsman was very arrogant and un friendly. I have about $450. invested and they are going to a different 20v Professional line. This is the second time this has happened to me the last was with craftsman 36v pro line.
I’ll probably go with Milwalkie or Bosch next time.
