Skil - Cordless Drill 2587-05
The 14.4v drill-driver from Skill is a low-cost tool with a single-sleeve chuck and a number of accessories.
Oct 25, 2005
The only low-cost drill-driver with a single-sleeve chuck, the Skil had excellent gripping power. Its battery, on the other hand, cut out before all the others tested. The stud finder and other gizmos on this model aren’t very useful in the shop.
