The Skil 2895LI-02 is a 9-3/4-in.-long 18-volt cordless drill.
Sep 01, 2009
The Skil 2895LI-02 18-volt cordless drill is 9-3/4-in. long and received a very good comfort rating and a fair torque rating. This drill had a long charge time (80 minutes) and a relatively short battery life. The Skil 2895LI-02 was the best-priced drill in the tool test, although it had the smallest (3/8-in.) chuck.
The Skil 2895LI-02 18-volt cordless drill is available from www.skiltools.com.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Craftsman Random Orbit Sander
While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
Festool Rotex FEQ-Plus Random Orbital Sander
The Festool Rotex is a top-of-the-line choice. On its coarse setting, it removed stock nearly twice as quickly as the second-fastest model. But that speed doesn’t mean you’ll have to wrestle with it. It’s no huge task to control it with two hands, and its long body gives you plenty of room to find a sweet spot while holding it.
Ridgid EB4424 Oscillating Spindle/Belt Sander
With five spindles sized from 1/2 in. to 2 in. and a 4 X 24-in. belt, this sander has become a staple in many a shop Fine Woodworking visits.
