Comments about Skil Skil Factory-Reconditioned 18V Cordless 3/8" 2-Speed Drill/Driver w/ Bit Index:

I use the drill as a DIY and worked very well when new. Now drill is a couple of years old and both batteries won't hold a charge, even overnight. Replacement batteries are expensive, might as well throw the drill out as buy batteries for it.

I'm a master carpenter with over forty years in my trade. I have other cordless drills & their battery last twice as long as Skil. I've bought three drills & each one the high speed gears slip after six mouths of use.

Comments about Skil Skil Factory-Reconditioned 18V Cordless 3/8" 2-Speed Drill/Driver w/ Bit Index:

I use this drill daily. So much so that one of the original batteries wouldn't recharge after a months use. It was replaced under warranty quickly and easily and I haven't had any difficulty with it since. It's rugged and drives 3.5 inch deck screws with easy. It's well balanced and doesn't put unnecessary stress on your hand when reaching for an awkward position.

Comments about Skil Skil Factory-Reconditioned 18V Cordless 3/8" 2-Speed Drill/Driver w/ Bit Index:

From driving screws to drilling heavy metal, this product has performed greater than my expectations and I don't know how any one from Ryobi up can compare. Electronic brake, two digit torque levels, forward or reverse indicators, project lighting, quick change bits and more. I and overwhelmed when it comes to this product and have used a competitor that cost several hundred dollars more that it rivals.

Comments about Skil Skil Factory-Reconditioned 18V Cordless 3/8" 2-Speed Drill/Driver w/ Bit Index:

The drill ( and other Skil products ) is good, but I have gone through several ( 5 ) batteries. I now believe it is time to scrap the entire Skil set ( drill, sawzall, skil saw and flashlight ) and get another product. Batteries are expensive and I could havew bought an entire set up for what I have spent on replacement batteries.
