"Overpriced at $140" 2009-09-12
By Jack Cade
This is an ok [edit to] a quite good drill for a homeowner, but it does have power issues for an 18v, [edit] however it has plenty of power for the homeowner. Also, do not even bother to use the bits that come with it for anything more than light work otherwise they will disintegrate, which will leave you wondering how tough the drill can be. That said, the refurbished (at $80) seems worth it; although after I bought this someone Craigslisted a Dewalt 14.4v hammer drill for $40 that I wished I had bought instead, maybe that is why I am pessimistic about this drill.
But it is a little cheap feeling and looking: the battery pack is a little bit loose, the plastic isn't too hardy feeling, its power isn't quite as high as most 18v that I've used, the lowest clutch setting seems too light, and I'm not convinced that the battery has a long life--although with two and the charger for the homeowner that is a non-issue.
The level is nice and useful, the charge indicator is also quite nice, the handle attachment is alright, it feels balanced, and I hope I'll get a lot of use out of it (I'll probably post an update after a while to mitigate my current pessimism or at least provide a more complete review).
[edit] After one month of got quite a lot of usage, and moved it up to a four star drill. I read a review that said shortly after purchasing it, the user put it under strain and it had a funny smell and a lose piece at the tip but worked great for years. I have had the same experience, lets hope it keeps going strong for years.
Overall I am becoming quite fond of it, seems tougher than it looked.

This drill which is an upgrade of the skil 2887-05 is a sturdy workhorse with plenty of power and versatility for the home handyman and could hold it's place in many workplace settings. The drill is comfortable, balanced well with a battery that lasts, a reliable charge indicatior and with the quick charge and 2nd battery provided will keep you working without interruption all day long. The versatility it offers meets nearly all home needs and then some and under repeated heavy loads performed effortlessly with no signs of strain. Affordable, metal gears and with all it's bells and whistles a great value.
"Better than most will need..." 2008-01-14

This drill/driver is ideal for the heavy duty homeowner. My wife and I are constantly working on improving our land and home. This means fencing, 4x4 posts using spade bits, masonry drilling, and even metal drilling (both soft metals and hard metals (with cutting oil). This drill powers through everything I have put it up against, most with complete ease. Battery life is good, not the best on the market I am sure, but sufficient. The only drawback I can think of is the difficult procedure to get the bubble level insert off the drill. I don't use the bit size selector underneath so this really isn't an issue for me however.
The all metal gearbox seems strong enough to handle what most folks would do to it. I treat my equipment and tools with respect but expect my cordless drill to perform in all weather conditions. This one does just that.
