Overview
Craftsman's CMXEVBE17595 is a corded 120V tool pulling 12 amps and 1440 watts, weighing 26 pounds. That combination of high amperage, corded power and substantial weight points to heavy duty, continuous use rather than a light handheld tool.
A 12 amp draw on a standard 120V outlet is near the ceiling for a single corded tool, so expect it to need its own circuit for sustained use. The 26 pound frame trades portability for the stability that heavier duty corded tools typically need.
- 120V corded power source
- 12 amp, 1440 watt motor
- 26 pound heavy duty build
- Craftsman branded
Who it's for
Suits shop and garage use where an outlet is always within reach and continuous power output matters more than portability. Not a fit for anyone wanting a lightweight or cordless option.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 1440 watt motor for sustained heavy duty use
- Corded design avoids battery runtime limits
- Stable 26 pound build for shop work
- 12 amp draw may require its own dedicated circuit
- 26 pounds makes it a stationary shop tool, not a portable one
Performance notes
1440 watts from a 12 amp, 120V draw is a substantial power figure for a corded tool, suggesting it is built for continuous, demanding work rather than occasional light duty tasks.
