Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this drill because I bought it's predecessor about 4 years ago.That drill had worked fine and is a good tool for a homeowner to use occaisonally around the house.It has plenty of power and the charge holds OK.I should have read the manual (who does that anyway? : ) as it tells you to charge the battery for 3 hours and then unplug the charger.Well, I'd leave it on for hours or even overnight, forgeting about it.So, that causes the battery to have a shorter life, and mine went bad.With this charger, when the battery goes bad, the charger overheats and dies.So, I look on-line to find a new battery and charger.Best price for the 2 was around $70.The new drill (which has the exact same battery and charger as the old one) can be found for between $56 - $60.So, now I have two working drills and one working charger/battery.I decided then to go ahead and get another battery so I could use the one drill for drilling pilot holes, and the other to drive in screws.My complaint is that if the Skil company had any kind of environmental consciousness they would provide replacement parts for less than a whole new product - which comes with a big box, a plastic case, and all kinds of throw-away packaging stuff - none of which I need and had to dispose of.
