Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

A two-tool cordless starter kit for homeowners: a 280 UWO drill/driver and a 1,460 in-lbs impact driver on CRAFTSMAN’s V20 battery platform, with two batteries, a charger and a bag. Check the pack before you buy: CRAFTSMAN’s own pages disagree on whether the included batteries are 1.3Ah or 1.5Ah.

Strengths

  • A 3-year limited warranty covers the kit and both tools, the strongest part of the package.
  • Two batteries, a charger and a bag make it a complete first cordless kit.
  • The V20 batteries fit CRAFTSMAN’s wider V20 power tool and outdoor equipment range.
  • Owners often say the impact driver is the tool they reach for more than the drill.
  • The included charger takes both V20 and V12 packs, which ToolGuyd counted as a value point.

Weaknesses

  • Both tools use brushed motors, and CRAFTSMAN’s own brushless RP kits deliver more power and longer runtime.
  • The drill is modest: ToolGuyd rated its power and speed average and saw it stall twice on a 1-1/2-in. spade bit through a 2x4.
  • Under heavy load the included battery drains faster than expected in ToolGuyd’s test.
  • Owners on Reddit repeatedly report V20 batteries that arrive dead and chargers that will not take a charge.
  • There is no hammer mode; the CMCD700 is a drill/driver only, so masonry needs a separate V20 hammer drill.
  • CRAFTSMAN’s pages conflict on battery capacity, so buyers cannot be sure whether the packs are 1.3Ah or 1.5Ah.

Kit, platform and owner reports

CMCK200C2 is CRAFTSMAN’s entry brushed-motor kit, and CRAFTSMAN’s own lineup puts brushless RP models above it. There is no instrumented test of the exact kit; the closest is ToolGuyd’s 2018 hands-on with the identical CMCD700 drill, which rated it average for power and speed, saw it stall twice on a 1-1/2-in. spade bit, and found the 1.3Ah battery drained faster than expected under load.

Owner sentiment is generally positive. Lowe’s shoppers rate the drill-only kit highly, and Reddit owners call the combo kits solid for homeowners, with the impact driver often the more-used tool. The recurring caution is V20 battery and charger failures, which owners report as dead-on-arrival packs and chargers that will not take a charge; these are anecdotes, not a defect rate.

Warranty, battery and running costs

The 3-year limited warranty is stated consistently on the kit page and both tool pages and is the kit’s strongest specification. Replacement V20 batteries are sold separately as 1.5Ah, 2.0Ah and 4.0Ah packs, a failed charger is a straight swap, and there is no lock-in beyond the V20 platform itself.

Regular retail is $169 at Farm and Fleet and $169.99 at McCoy’s, while a deal post on 2026-10-12 reported the kit at $99. ToolGuyd, testing the drill-only kit, called it a bargain at $69 in 2018.

Is it worth it?

At $100 or less the kit is a solid homeowner value: two brushed tools with a 3-year warranty, two batteries and a charger. From $101-130 it is fair, and the brushed motors’ shorter runtime matters more. From $131-169 it is weak to fair, because you pay near brushless-kit money for 280 UWO and 1,460 in-lbs tools. Above $169 it is poor value unless you already own V20 packs and want the shared ecosystem. The differentiators are the warranty, the two included batteries and cross-compatibility with the full V20 line, not the power ratings.

Which model this is

This page covers the CRAFTSMAN V20 Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit CMCK200C2, made up of the CMCD700 drill/driver and the CMCF800 impact driver. The US listing is ASIN B07K2KN7D7. Do not confuse it with the brushed-successor kits (CMCK201D1, CMCD702 and CMCF801) or the brushless RP kits (CMCK211C2, CMCK2530C2, CMCD713 and CMCF813).
