"BATTERY PACK FIND!" 2010-07-06
By Stormy (Texas)
I looked for a replacement battery pack for my drill in our small town and did not finding any. Even at the store where I purchased it a year ago and the local home improvement store. I even looked in Corpus Christi. Then I went on Amazon.com and found exactly the one I needed and at a good price too! And with no shipping! It was shipped immediately. Wish I had used this method of shopping first. Drill works fine with its new battery pack. Thanks Amazon.com.

Original battery became shorted, not knowing this I ordered several chargers each of were were corupted by the battery. So with technical support from Skil I was able to determine that the battery was at fault not the chargers. New charger and new battery and I was back in bussiness.

By Benjamin Field (usa)
I would use this for light to medium duty jobs. It is great for driving screws or boring holes in wood, etc. anything that a cordless drill can do. I tried using it with my 18V drill to mix mortar however and it had trouble. Otherwise it performs according to how you would expect.

"The best drill ever..." 2010-05-22
By Randall Hidalgo (San José, Costa Rica)
I aways had the problem of charging my Ni-Cd batteries for my old drill each time I needed to use it. With the Li-Ion drill doesn't happen any more. The batteries are always ready to be used. It is great how this battery keeps the charge for months even if you doesn't use your drill. And the power of the drill is awsome. You won't regret of this purchase.

"If you got skill you need SKIL Cordless Drill/Driver" 2010-01-24
By J. Cortez (Long Island, NY)
This cordless driver is just another great product made by Skil Lithium ion powered cordless drill technology! If you are a person with great propensity to do some skills at your garage, home or even work - you got to have this tiny incy wincy yet powerful and portable device that can unscrew your day out of this stubborn world of nuts, bolts and all fasteners alike. It's powered by Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that can hold a charge for a very long time unlike the NiCd old- fashioned rechargeable weak batteries. This tool is perfectly balanced in weight distribution and the torque is suited just for its purpose. Again, like I have said in my review for the Skil Cordless Ratchet, as a busy Auto Service Mechanic, I use this daily in my job to loosen screws even at tight spaces and it comes with different screw driver bits. I like it because it holds a charge longer than the time to remove all the screws a car may have. It has a power indicator that tells you when to recharge it and charging is fast and it has control against over-charging and you don't have to empty the power before charging unlike NiCd batteries.

If you got the skill you need this SKIL Cordless Drill/Driver! Skil is a great brand because they make a greater product than their name!

"Bad design" 2009-12-06
By Guy J. Amato (Rochester, NY)
The drill stalls out at low or high loads. You just can't get the drill running or keep it running. The board designed to protect the drill will not let it run as needed. I tried 2 of the drills and sent them both back. If Skil fixes this problem I think the drill would be a nice tool. 80 in/lb of torque for a 7.2 V tool is plenty. The li-ion battery is the only way to go today

"Handy Lightweight Tool- Recommended" 2009-11-29
By CFH (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA)
The "Skil 2362 Drill\Driver" is a handy cordless tool for small jobs around the house, but is woefully under powered for use on "big" jobs. That being said, the small size and fast charging makes this the right tool in many cases for me.

The body is fairly light and can easily controlled with one hand. The controls include forward and reveres, adjustable torque (Drill and Driver settings), and variable speed based on the trigger pressure. The set includes 4 drill bits and 6 driver bits (all on 1/4" hex shafts), which is just right for most home odd jobs. The charger does perform as listed, bringing the tool up to full power in about 3 hours or so.

We used this to install 6 sliding cabinet drawers, a process that took 28 holes and screws. It worked fine to drill the holes and drive the smaller screws, but strained a little on driving the longer\thicker screws in hardwood.

Recommended for the price and convenience when used on small jobs.

"Finally - a litium ion battery for my cordless hand tools!" 2010-06-14
By jaymac1500 (TX)
I've been wondering for a while now if and when they would make a LI battery for hand tools. Finally that day has come! The lasting power of the LI is a marked improvement over the NiCad battery. I have a brand new NiCad and 2 LI, and the LI lasts 2 - 3 times as long. I can actually get some work done w/ them now!

The only drawback is you need separate chargers for the LI and NiCad batteries.

"New life for the old tool set" 2010-05-06
By Vance (SF,CA)
A nice option to buying a new set of lithium tools, at least for my needs. So far, so good. These batteries are easy to remove, unlike the old ni-cad batteries which became impossible. They seem more powerful, and hold a charge well. Run time seems good, and they charge quickly. Being half the size and weight as the ni-cads is also a plus.

I don't think that most people are going to want to invest more money in 2 batteries and a charger than they paid for a complete tool set, but I like the tools (even though the color design Skil used makes them look like a kid's toy raygun), especially the drill and circular saw. I didn't want to just throw the set away. Also, this is the only cordless brand I've seen where the circular saw's blade is on the right, which works for southpaws. I can see the line as I cut. Re-use made sense for me, anyway, since I can't easily or cheaply replace the lefty saw.

By john
I bought that so called "Factory reconditioned" expecting the unexpected. The drill is a pce of grap, the end of the silver came loose and the drill power is drilling withing its own>Cannot even drill a simple task. On the other hand I was Amazed at the Reciprocating Saw... I have several skil tool and I was so ashamed of having to ackn that the worse of the worse is supposed to be their best tool. It seems that the tool was not even looked at, just put in a box and expecting the customer not to notice it. Come on>It is a return for a reason...Just trash it of sell the parts away.I have never bought a reconditioned tool before and what a "scandal." I will be returning it for a replacement and hope for the best. If the replacement is the same, I will just go to my mega store and buy one.

"Still going strong after around two years" 2010-05-29
By John S. Dean (Sturtevant, WI United States)
Got this as soon as it came out at a local brick and mortar, so may even be more than two years old now, don't remember exactly when I got it.

Battery still is strong and holds a charge, so I"m luckier than some of the other reviewers who talked about having battery concerns.

Others have mentioned how it has problems feeding things too thick, but for me that's not an issue since I use it exclusively for cardboard boxes. Everything I get is purchased almost exclusively online, so the Fed Ex and UPS guys are here all the time. I end up with way too many cardboard boxes to break down, as our recycling pickup requires everything in 2x2 pieces. So I got this to help that task, and it sure did.

Much better than using a razor cutter as I had been, and the way it protrudes makes it work great at the edges of the boxes to cut each side away.

The button locations were not a problem for me at all, feels just fine. It's comfortable to hold for a while and shaped well to fit into the hand, and gives you a great grip to push it through the cardboard.

I like that the light changes color so you can see when it needs charging, as well as can see when the charging is complete. It's nice to be able to just turn it on for a sec to verify that it has a charge before I go to use it.

It's also nice that it works at a good speed just about to the very end of battery life. It doesn't just slow down and become useless, it keeps working right up to the end.

For someone like me who gets a ton of cardboard in the mail, it's an absolute requirement.

"not a heavy duty cutter" 2010-03-06
By Patrick Flynn (Boston, MA USA)
I'm sure this is fine to cut cardboard, however it is not a good idea to buy this for anything more than small projects. I tried to cut vinyl tile with this and it chokes up every few seconds, causing me to go back to using a normal razor blade for better accuracy.

"A Must Have for Cardboard boxes" 2010-02-16
By E. Tanner
Skil 2352-01 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Multi-Cutter. Note that I only have used this item for breaking down boxes from our business shipments. I was tired of cutting down boxes using a standard box-cutter blade, for flat packing.

For single-wall cartons, this cutter slices through the box folds/creases with ease, like pushing an self-powered lawnmower.

For single-wall cartons, cuts not-along the box folds, are still a breeze, with minimal effort.

Double-wall shipping cartons require a tad bit more effort to push the cutter, but nothing worth complaining about for a battery powered hand-cutter.

I have yet to find a battery-powered cutter that performs better then this model. I cut a few hundred boxes a week, about 20" cubed or larger, and have no complaints. With 30 minute box cutting sessions per day, I only have to recharge this cutter at the end of each week. The power indicator turns red, when you need a charge, just like a beard shaver.

Definately recommended for breaking down single or doublewall shipping cartons.

"great tools......terrible packaging" 2010-09-03
By viper
These tools are some of the nicest 18 Volt cordless tools that I have ever seen. The weight is pefect. Dewalt should take a few lessons from Makita. The value in this 7- piece kit is spot on. Home Depot gets $379.00 plus tax for the impact driver and drill alone......You get all of this for $629.00 and two day free shipping if you are prime, that is a deal in my opinion. As far as the packaging is concerned it was the worst I have ever received without the items being damaged. For starters the box looks like it was left out in the rain.....Not good when you are buying power tools. That being said it appears that everything in the box was dry. Also the box had been opened and retaped up with tape that read Makita. All I know is I was sold NEW tools not Re-furbished and I better not find out any different. Other than that I loved doing business with Amazon. This was my first purchase and I was really pleased with everything from inital purchase, to tracking, to on-time-delivery.

"Worth Every Cent!" 2010-08-02
By M. Butler
I bought this set in January 2010 and use at least one tool every week. I am very satisfied with the quality of these tools and highly recommend them to anyone that needs to get any work done around the house.

The Batteries - The batteries last a long time between recharges and charge very quickly.

The Drill - Small, lightweight, and powerful. I also have the larger BHP454 but like the one that comes with this set much better because it's smaller size and lower weight make it much easier to handle.

Impact Driver - I have only used it once or twice - but since it is compact it probably would be good in tight spaces. The drill has a hammer setting so I usually just use it instead.

Circular Saw - Fairly average. Works about the same as others I have used.

Reciprocating Saw - This tool is great. I use it all the time to cut up branches. I'm not sure how I lived without one of these in the past. It can also cut metal, but I find the Angle Grinder works better for that.

Angle Grinder - Probably the best tool in the set. How I managed to live my entire life without one before I'll never know. It is great for cutting through metal and if you buy a sanding attachment for $10 it will sand quicker than almost anything else I have used. I love this tool.

Radio - The radio has an input jack for an IPod. It isn't really loud outside, but works pretty well indoors. I didn't really think I would use it much, but I actually use it fairly often.

Flashlight - Makita probably just throws it in to make the set seem larger (7 pieces not 6). The first week I got the set I dropped it and the bulb broke. They should replace this light with a Cree LED light instead. Not a very good flashlight - but really, who cares about that...

The bag looks really nice - but I don't use it at all - so no comment on that.
