This lifetime guarantee has always mystified me! Whose life: mine or the
tool/battery? If it is the tool/battery: it's hard to argue with them on that
one! If that is not a self-fulfilling guarantee: I guess I've never seen one!

When they guaranty the battery for life that's hard to beat.

I have had and still have several Craftsman drills that ranged from 14.4 to
19.2 volts. I also had an 18 volt Milwaukee that was a very good drill. I now
have a Rigid 18 volt that is so much better than the others that I can't
believe that it is either equal or less power. I have driven many three inch
screws with it and if I don't set the clutch or stop the drill it will either
drive the screw head out of sight or wring it off. Rigid also has the best
warranty of any power tools that I have found.
Thanks, Glenn

I have an 18-volt Craftsman drill, that was on sale for $80 with 2-batteries
and charger. I have yet to stall it driving 3-inch deck screws except when the
battery is weak. The price was less than replacing 2 batteries for my previous
Ryobi 9.6-volt drill. The Craftsman is now 3-years-old and the batteries
(nickel-cadmium) do not hold much charge anymore. I am watching for another
sale. It is unfortunate that some drills can be made disposable by the cost of
a pair of replacement batteries.
