Extremely good drill-driver!
The build quality seems very good for its price at first glance, which is 40€, the price I bought it for.
In terms of power, there's no discussion! It's very good and doesn't struggle with screwing, as it doesn't feel any resistance even with a 10 cm screw in wood, which I have used it for.
Some mention that the chuck doesn't hold well... personally, I use it with an extension purely as a screwdriver and it's special... it doesn't even lose rotation in any case!
I also find it extremely convenient that Skil included a 6m cable, as it makes work comfort a breeze.
I highly recommend it for anyone who wants an extra powerful tool in their toolbox without hesitation.
I don't have an opinion on professional use, and besides, the manufacturer mentions it's for amateur use, which I think it surpasses.
So, 5 stars.
Very good and powerful. For its 200 Watts and 38 Nm of power, it is very good in relation to the Watts it has. It has a very good reducer and is very powerful for its cubic capacity. The only negative is that the chuck doesn't hold at all. But okay, with 15 to 18 euros, you can change the chuck. A very good choice for its price.
Basically, it is high quality, has an online parts shop by Bosch, well-designed, reliable, and provides solutions. In practice, it impresses with screwing/drilling metals because it also has an additional option for 0-400 RPM (metals require this) unlike many others that only go up to 3000-3600 RPM and are only suitable for drilling wood/bricks. Bravo to SKIL.
I use it for amateur use. I bought it to replace an 18V cordless drill of the same company whose batteries needed replacement. It does everything that one did, but with much more power in screwing, unscrewing, and without the worry of running out of power. The long cable is VERY practical! It doesn't heat up much in prolonged use, it is light with good balance in the palm. However, its chuck doesn't tighten strongly, resulting in cylindrical base drills sometimes turning without drilling when they get stuck. I don't mind the lack of impact because I have bigger tools for drilling into concrete. For 200W, it is quite powerful.
The best tool I ever bought in relation to the money I spent. I bought it for amateur use but it turned out better than some professional ones I had, and that's why it has screwed millions of screws on roofs.
Machine for amateur use and household chores. I chose it because it is electric and not battery-powered. (It won't run out of battery in 1-2 years, I'll keep an eye on it in the storage). It screws well and can drill small holes with drill bits. That's exactly what I wanted and it does them very well. For professional and heavy use, choose a Makita, Dewalt, etc. Completely satisfied. It may get a little warmer with prolonged use. Good and honest choice.
