I have owned one now for some 7 years and it is still going strong. Highly recommended....
It is an absolutely wonderful product, especially with the power it has. I would reccomend this item to anyone!!
Good deal? NO_NO_NO- the clutch in this thing is made of cheese. It started slipping on the 2nd job I did with it.
I would have to say the best gift I received in 2008! There is power to spare. Easy to use and hold.
This is an excellent drill, and an excellent drill package.
I have now put up curtain rods on 7 windows and 2 glass doors, installed a washing machine, assembled a couple pieces of furniture, installed some closet rods and I forget what else. I'm tired but the drill is still on its first battery charge.
I should have known better to buy a Skil brand tool. The first year it did pretty well but never had enough torque for my tastes. The batteries are complete crap.
Plenty of torque, battery carries a good charge and since it comes with a second battery, I simply switch out the batteries at the end of each use.
O.K. The looks might not be to your taste (mine either) but for the bucks, this is a fine drill.
I bought this based on the positive reviews on here, and can't be happier with my purchase.
Whe I first purchased this drill I loved it. Have had this drill for about 1 year now and the batteries do not hold a charge.
The Skil 2887-05(B2) 18-volt cordless drill is every bit as good as its Bosch counterpart, only much less expensive.
One of the main reasons I bought this drill over Dewalt and Ryobi was that it came with 2 batteries. However, it has out performed both comprable drills.
I bought this drill because I had seen a friend's just like it and wanted one for myself. I just love it!
