- Already own Ryobi 18V ONE+ batteries? The PBLID04B uses them; the CMCF830B needs Craftsman V20 batteries and a charger.
- Already own Craftsman V20 batteries? The CMCF830B is the one that fits what you have.
- Starting from nothing: this is a battery-system choice more than a tool choice; compare the kit versions, which add batteries and a charger.
