Summary

The CRAFTSMAN V20 CMCF800C1 is the entry brushed-motor 1/4-in impact driver kit: 1,460 in-lbs of torque, one 1.5Ah battery and a charger, for a homeowner starting out or adding to the V20 platform. Check the battery before you buy: the kit ships with the smallest V20 pack, and no independent lab has tested this exact model.

Strengths

  • 1,460 in-lbs is enough for furniture, deck screws and lag bolts up to moderate sizes.
  • Ships as a kit with a battery and charger, so it runs out of the box.
  • The 1/4-in quick-release hex chuck takes one-handed bit changes.
  • Shares the V20 battery and charger across CRAFTSMAN’s 20V range.
  • Backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
  • The trigger-area LED lights the work where the bit is.

Weaknesses

  • The brushed motor runs louder, less efficiently and shorter than a brushless tool.
  • The 1.5Ah battery is the smallest V20 pack; heavy daily use will outrun it.
  • Single speed, with no speed modes or torque selector.
  • No independent instrumented test of this exact model exists.
  • No bag and no bits in the kit; you buy them separately.
  • Retailer listings disagree on battery capacity, quoting 1.3Ah against 1.5Ah.

Which model this is

This page covers the CRAFTSMAN V20 Cordless 1/4-in Impact Driver Kit, model CMCF800C1, a brushed-motor kit in the V20 20V MAX system. The kit holds one CMCF800 impact driver, one 1.5Ah battery and one charger; the tool on its own is CMCF800. CRAFTSMAN’s V20 line also includes the brushless CMCF813 and CMCF830 and the older CMCF820 and CMCF811D1 drivers, which are different tools with different motors.

The Amazon listing is ASIN B07ZK6PM4N.

Motor, torque and what it can do

The CMCF800C1 is a brushed, single-speed impact driver. CRAFTSMAN rates it at 1,460 in-lbs of torque, 2,800 RPM and 3,100 IPM, with a 1/4-in quick-release hex chuck for one-handed bit changes. That torque is enough for furniture assembly, deck screws and lag bolts up to moderate sizes. The LED sits above the trigger rather than in a ring around the chuck; CRAFTSMAN’s own reviewer noted the difference from the tri-LED ring on the older brushless CMCF820.

Battery, runtime and running costs

The kit ships with the smallest V20 battery CRAFTSMAN sells, a 1.5Ah pack, plus a charger. CRAFTSMAN does not flag battery life on the kit page, and no one has published runtime under load, so for all-day work budget another V20 battery rather than relying on the one in the box. One listing disagreement to watch: McCoy’s shows the kit battery as 1.3 Ah while CRAFTSMAN, Ace Hardware and Acme Tools state 1.5Ah, so treat 1.5Ah as correct. No service-parts catalog was found for the tool.

Independent testing and reliability

No independent lab has tested the CMCF800C1. Pro Tool Reviews, the most active specialist in this class, has reviewed the brushless V20 drivers CMCF820, CMCF813 and CMCF830, but not this brushed one. Its CMCF830 review names the CMCF800 as the earlier trigger-LED design, confirming model continuity, and shows the brushless line reaching 1,800 in-lbs and 4,200 IPM. No owner threads or failure-rate data were available for the CMCF800C1, so long-term reliability is an open question; the 3-year limited warranty is the practical safety net.

Is it worth it?

At the observed street price the kit makes sense as a first impact driver for a household or as an add-on for someone already on V20 batteries. Ace Hardware listed it at $99 and McCoy’s at $99.99 in October 2026. CRAFTSMAN’s brushless CMCF830 kit is a step up at $168.99 in 2025, with 1,800 in-lbs, 3-speed control and independent test coverage. If you need all-day runtime, add a larger V20 battery; if you need validated performance, the brushless line is the one to compare.
