 Great tool! November 7, 2009
Ebonga Tembe (Indianapolis, IN USA)
This is a great tool that delivers. I like the fact that it is compact, not noisy and quite pleasant to handle. My older drill died and I needed to replace it. I was afraid that this skil would be too small and not have enough power. Boy, was I wrong. Don't get deceived by its mini size. With this new one any work is just a breeze.
Great for what it does November 4, 2009

This is my 3rd driver. The first model had a poor design for the direction button. My medium sized hands would push the button when I gripped the handle. Then, after only 2 years or so the charger died. Bought one as a gift and a new one for myself. I use the new charger for both of my drills.
Small and compact it has an amazing amount of torque. I carry one in my briefcase and use it frequently on computers and various other projects. The other is at home handily in a drawer for quick access for the little jobs around the house. I have also used this in tight quarters (couldn't get my big drill in there)to drive self tapping screws through sheetrock into steel studs. Didn't think it had the power but was pleasantly surprised as I drove about a dozen or so screws.
This drill isn't a replacement for a 3/8" or 1/2" drill but is a very handy tool to have around for doing the "light stuff" around the house and shop.

Handy and well made. Works just as advertised. You can't build a battleship with it but you can hang a cordless telephone and that's what I bought it for. It's those small jobs that my poor little arthritic hands put off using a regular screwdriver for. Skil has done it well.

I think this little screwdriver (and I do mean little) is great. I like it when people start off positive instead of always focusing on the negative. Why is it great?
It is compact! I have very large hands, and the handle is shorter than the depth of my grip. Is this a problem? I thought it would be, but thanks to the huge trigger it was comfortable. This screwdriver comes in a round black soft case that features the SKIL logo. Inside you have the charger, a little ziplock chock full of bits, and the screwdriver itself. Its so nice to have a small package like this case containing everything. The entire case will fit perfect into most people's repair kits. You get the benefit of a Lithium Ion Battery which essentially doesn't loose a charge, at least nowhere near like nicads do. I refuse to buy any nicad power tools anymore.
Now for the not-great... This little baby does not carry a huge punch in a small package. It does not have the power of a drill, so don't think you can drill holes with it in anything more than super soft pine(or balsa wood). I bought this primarily for a project to hang a pot and pan rack, and to replace my old black and decker nicad model that died on me. I needed to drill six 2 1/2 inch drywall screws through 1" pine and into a stud(most likely spruce). I tried, just to test, drilling without a pilot hole through the pine board. It did it just fine. It would not, however, drill into the harder wood of the stud. I then pre-drilled a hole through the pine board and into the stud, leaving maybe a half inch at the end undrilled. The skil screwdriver put the screw in without issue until it hit that last 1/2 inch and couldn't do it. so I did a third test drilling a full 3 inches through, and then used the skil to finish. it did the job fine.
To sum up my test...don't expect this screwdriver to be a miracle device. from my tests, it handled terrific for most household tasks. drilling into drywall to hang a picture, put up a fixture, etc... this screwdriver will handle fine. putting together anything will pre-drilled holes, it'll handle fine. If you loose touch and think this is a professional grade tool you'd use on a construction site, it will not do fine.
I recommend this tool to ANY computer repair tech out there. If you need to open up computer cases and replace parts, or work on any consumer electronic devices, this tool is perfect. It's small enough to fit into a portable repair kit. For home, it also is good as a quick fix screwdriver that can be kept in a kitchen drawer.
I'm going to keep mine for just those casual uses... however I ended up using my full sized drill outfitted with the extension and bits from the skil screwdriver to do my pots and pans project. I could drill in the drywall screws without needing to pilot them first. (I just rolled the screws in soap first to reduce the chance it would split the stud underneath. the soap trick also eliminates the squealing sound of dry drilling wood).
this screwdriver easily deserves 4 stars for what it is...a casual screwdriver. It's not a home project screwdriver by any means if you plan on building cabinets, etc... you're best off for a meatier cordless in the 10+ volt range that doubles as a drill. At only 20 to 50 bucks more than this, it may be a better alternative too.
However,
for what this screwdriver is meant to do, it does it.

Purchased for use around the house and have been very pleased with performance and features. Perfect for home repairs and maintenance, plenty of power for general household use. Compact and convenient as well. Only flaw is directional slide switch is not firm enough and can be moved too easily. I have used for small pilot hole drilling as well with hex-shanked bits - works fine in soft woods and walls etc.
