CRAFTSMAN CMHT6640BI Drill Review
Our verdict
The CRAFTSMAN CMHT6640BI earns a solid 4.5-star rating at $45.20, but its 103-review base is one of the thinnest in this roundup, and the absence of any published specs makes it harder to justify over the better-documented CMHT6650C at $12.21 less.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The CRAFTSMAN CMHT6640BI is positioned above the CMHT6650C in the CRAFTSMAN lineup at $45.20, but without any published specs, the premium is difficult to evaluate on technical grounds. The 4.5-star rating from 103 reviews is a positive signal, though 103 is a small sample compared to the 843 reviews behind the CMHT6650C at $32.99.
With 50 units bought last month, demand is low relative to the rest of this batch. The CRAFTSMAN brand name remains a meaningful purchase signal for many buyers, and the higher price likely reflects a design or feature improvement over the CMHT6650C, but nothing in the published listing confirms what that improvement is.
For a buyer whose primary driver is CRAFTSMAN brand loyalty and who wants the higher-end model in the line, the CMHT6640BI is a defensible choice. For anyone who wants spec transparency or validated demand, the CMHT6650C delivers more information and more reviews for $12.21 less.

What buyers say
The limited 103-review pool shows positive overall satisfaction at 4.5 stars. Specific feedback patterns are harder to assess at this sample size. Buyers appear to be making purchase decisions based on CRAFTSMAN's brand reliability rather than detailed owner testimony from peers.
