Craftsman goes back to 4v tools

Seriously.

Their 12V line seems to be doing very well, but someone at Craftsman saw a hole in the 4v market.

I wrote a detailed Craftsman 4v tool preview via TG if you're interested in details.

Anyways, there will be a screwdriver, shears, roatary tool, soldering iron, headphones, and flashlight.

What the heck can you do with a 4-volt rotary tool? A 6-watt 900-degree soldering iron? 900 degrees is overkill for circuitry & soldering and 6W is likely underpowered for pipes and such.

It looks like the tools are ryobi clones, but that may be a good thing since the ryobis are usually well reviewed.

I'd have to say that the screwdriver looks most appealing - 4v w/ clutch? Could be alright for random applications that don't quite call for 12V or 18V.

Just in time to go on sale for christmas so wives everywhere can give their husbands useless tools.
Pretty much. But I don't think these tools will disappear after the holidays, though.

4v tools can be useful. I got along just fine with a 3.6V black & decker until I felt it was time to upgrade to 12V Li-ion.
