Skil 2567-02 3/8-Inch 120-Volt 14.4-Volt USA Cordless Drill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cordless drills need to meet three criteria to be worth buying.Have adequate torque to drive screws, a battery that holds a charge under modest use and two batteries to facilitate continuous use.The SKIL 2567 has none of these.I bought this drill to replace a 14.4 B&D, which performed well (re: the above three conditions) but B&D discontinued manufacturing both the batteries and the chargers, both of which went bad.

The SKIL 2567 has very limited torque or driving and drilling power. Only twist drills of less than 1/4" can be used with reasonable effectiveness.Spade bits take forever to drill trough a 2" board, if the drill doesn't peter out first.The battery retains its charge through only the lightest job and since only one comes with the drill kit, you are SOL for finishing the job.Further, the battery doesn't retain its charge for very long while the drill is dormant.A full charge will dissipate almost completely in about three weeks, so the idea of grabbing your drill for a quick job is not possible.

My SKIL 2567 came with an attached STUD FINDER, which is even more hilariously useless than the drill.It is powered by one of those expensive, small round batteries you normally find in cameras, etc.I installed the battery when I purchased the drill and it was totally dead by the next time I picked up the drill.For a few dollars more than the cost of a new battery you can buy a stud detector that runs on AA batteries.

SKIL made their name on handheld circular saws.I have had one for years.But I, for one, will not purchase any cordless tools with the SKILL name on them.
