V20 Cordless Bluetooth Speaker (Tool Only) provides high quality sound and clear reception on the jobsite or during your leisure time. With up to 100 ft. This tool-only configuration is intended for buyers who already own a compatible V20 battery and charger.
How does the CMCR001B connect and what is the Bluetooth range?
The CMCR001B pairs via Bluetooth and delivers audio up to 100 feet in open conditions. Walls, machinery, and wireless interference reduce effective range on a real job site. Pairing is standard Bluetooth — discoverable on power-up and connectable from any phone or tablet.
Can the CMCR001B run on AC power as well as a V20 battery?
Yes. The CMCR001B accepts both a V20 battery and an AC power cord, so you can plug it in at a fixed work area or run cordlessly when no outlet is nearby. The AC option means a dead battery does not interrupt audio — useful for all-day shop use.
What battery size makes the most sense for the CMCR001B?
A 2Ah V20 battery is a practical choice — audio is a low-current application, so even a compact pack gives extended playtime. Reserve larger 4Ah and 5Ah packs for high-draw tools. If you already own 2Ah packs from a V20 starter kit, they pair naturally with the speaker.
Is the CMCR001B weather-resistant for outdoor use?
CRAFTSMAN does not publish an IP rating for the CMCR001B. It is designed for jobsite conditions — dust and occasional splashes are manageable — but it is not rated for submersion or sustained rain exposure. Keep it sheltered in wet conditions.
Who is the CMCR001B the right buy for?
The CMCR001B suits V20 tool owners who want audio at a job site or shop without buying into a separate battery ecosystem. Running on the same V20 batteries as your drills, saws, and outdoor tools means one charger covers everything. If you do not already own V20 tools, a standalone jobsite speaker is a better entry point.
