Don't buy this even though cheap cost
I used this very little over the span of a year or so. General use, nothing too harsh. Two issues, a) overheats. Not a show stopper, but annoying when it gets almost too hot to handle b) the ON switch stops working when drilling vertically. Shop stopper, useless. I don't understand how such an inadequately designed tool as this can be released for production and into the market.

    Awesome Tool
    This is an excellent drill that any handyman cannot do without. Very powerful for it's size. I would say this is a must for homeowners who want to actively work on projects in the house that call for drilling.

    Very happy for the gift of the drill
    I absolutely love this drill. And it's more powerful than the cordless drill that I own. It's one of the best mother's day gifts I've ever gotten

    Not much there.
    This drill is not worthy of the Skil name. Works, but question for how long. Very loud bearing noise when running. Translates to vibration in my hand. This is comparable to a no name, cheap drill

    Good performance.
    The battery operated ones got to heavy for me as I aged, the electric one is wonderful!

    Disappointing at best
    Got this as a Christmas present. Sent the first one back because I could not get the chuck to close. After using a lot of force on the second chuck was finally able to get it to close. The speed control is quite sensitive. This is a replacement for a $10 drill which the chuck broke after a few years and worked better than this..

    Lasted while building a fence
    Needed a corded drill while building a fence since my battery packs wouldnt hold a charge. This did the job and is still kicking!
