Great find, just picked one up. Just the batter and charger are worth the price.

Don't spend your money on Craftsman V20 anything. When I bought my first house, I made the mistake of buying into the Craftsman's V20 line, so I am speaking from experience. I didn't know much about tools and saw that my dad always used Craftsman's tools, so I assumed they were still good quality. What I didn't know is that Stanley Black & Decker bought the brand out of the Sears bankruptcy and turned it from a legendary "Made in USA" tool brand into complete junk (which they've also done with Porter Cable and Stanley). Since then, I've had to buy more tools and quickly determined that Craftsman's V20 is at the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality, warranty, power, and value (relative to performance and durability). I owned their 10" chainsaw, chainsaw loppers, hedge trimmer, brush drill, and brush impact driver. Over the past 6 years, all these tools have failed, except for the impact driver, which is extremely weak and bulky for what it is. The outdoor tools typically come kitted with a 2Ah battery, which is insufficient to power them effectively. The chainsaws also have an auto-tension mechanism that doesn't keep the chain on and eventually breaks. When I tried to claim warranty on a pile of broken junk tools, it was such a hassle that I decided to just start over and take the loss on the Craftsman V20. As an aside, Craftsman's V20 and Dewalt 20V tools are 18V tools, like pretty much every other 18V tool line out there. Stanley Black & Decker, owner of Craftsman and DeWalt, lists its tools as 20 volts in North America primarily for marketing purposes, using the maximum initial battery voltage (20V) rather than the nominal working voltage (18V) to imply higher power. These batteries are technically 18V (5 cells at 3.6V each), which is the standard 18V label that Dewalt tools are required to use in Europe. The only Craftsman V20 tools worth buying, in my opinion, are the RP trim router and the cut-off tool (basically the Dewalt cut-off tool without Dewalt's stupid dust shroud), but two relatively specialized tools aren't worth buying into a battery ecosystem for. While the brushless RP line of tools is an improvement over the brushed junk they still sell (Dewalt still sells some brushed junk as well), there are many other budget-friendly brands that are far superior to Craftsman's V20 in terms of performance, durability, warranty, and value. In terms of warranty, Craftsman's 3-year tool warranty is amongst the worst in the industry, and the claims process is slow and painful to navigate. While Dewalt, Makita, Rigid, and Ryobi also only offer 3-year warranties on their cordless tools, there are responsible arguments for why you would buy into each of those tool lines. Most other tool companies offer a 5-year warranty on their tools and a 3-year warranty on batteries. You don't even need to leave Lowe's to find a superior budget-friendly tool brand, Kobalt 24V. Kobalt's 24V line of tools is made by Chervon, the makers of EGO, Flex, and Skil, with Kobalt slotted between Flex and Skil in terms of power, quality, and price. Since Kobalt tools run on 24V batteries, typically 6 cells in series vs 5 cells in an 18V battery. A standard 4Ah 24V battery can deliver higher power output and better heat management than a standard 4Ah 18V battery, although Kobalt's batteries are admittedly larger and heavier as a result. They offer a similar, if not broader, line of power tools and outdoor tools in their 24V line as Craftsman V20, and while not all of them are great, they easily outmatch Craftsman V20 at similar price points. You can also opt for higher-performance batteries and Kobalt's XTR line, which uses the same 24V batteries. An important difference is the warranty process. If you keep your proof of purchase, you can warranty a Kobalt tool at any Lowe's and get a brand new one off the shelf. If you are just starting a tool collection and don't need the same batteries for yard equipment, Hercules 20V brushless tools from Harbor Freight are a great option. Like Kobalt, Hercules power tools punch way above their weight in terms of value, price/performance, and durability. Like Kobalt, they offer a 5-year warranty on their 20V brushless tools and a 3-year warranty on their batteries. Their bare tool and battery prices are extremely reasonable, and they offer a newer line of high-performance batteries that are extremely well reviewed. To warrant a tool or battery, bring it to any Harbor Freight with proof of purchase and grab a new one from the shelf. Finally, if you are looking for more compact tools for DIY tasks and can spend a bit more than the Craftsman V20, go with Milwaukee's M12 line. They are significantly more compact, have much higher build quality, offer a range of batteries and tools, and are generally as powerful as, if not more powerful than Craftsman V20 tools. If all you need is a drill and impact driver for stuff around the house, it is hard to beat the M12 Fuel Hammer Drill and Impact Drive kit.

This is one of those DeWalt tools in red. This is why I really love the Craftsman line.

I'm not a heavy user/abuser, but I have a lot of tools from this line and never had an issue with any of them. I'll check this one out.

I just got the Kobalt chain pruner, same components, same price. Should I return the Kobalt and get this Craftsman instead?

I have the Craftsman 20V impact drill which works great and powerful and holds a charge. I use this as a backup, for a small jobs. For big jobs, I use my Milwaukee impact drill. Lighting struck a small tree a few years ago. I used a Craftsman chainsaw to cut the tree in small pieces. I like Craftsman tools for simple to DYI jobs.
