Skil PWRCore 20-Volt Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill Kit Plus 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery (USB) Plus PWRJump Charger

Plenty powerfull with 450 in LBs of torque and impact rate of 27k bpm. While its still lighter than my older drill , its around 3 and half pounds and much easier to handle. The drill has 2 speed options plus the trigger has a bit of speed control in it also which helps with starting . The led light is bright and convenient in dark spaces and goes on/off by itself.There is a 5 year warranty, its a brush less motor so I’m guessin it will last a good long time for them to offer that kind of warranty, I was surprised to see even batteries and the charger has 2 year warranty. The battery has a quick charge so in 5 minutes its ready to go again, I have not been able to drain the battery with normal household use. I found it has the genius addition to the battery of a USB connector that can be used to charge phones or tablets.

Lightweight and works excellent.

Grate tool for the price,makes work projects faster an easier!!

Have used this tool for the last couple of days anchoring shelves to the wall in my basement. The LED made the job a lot easier as I was reaching between the shelves to drive the Anchor screws. Lots of power to drill my pilot holes into the mortar. The battery held it’s charge for a long time. It’s amazing how quickly it recharges.

This is my second Skil power tool and I love it. A 20 Volt battery and charger is included for long term use. The battery powers up quickly. This is a brushless motor which means extended tool life and constant power. It is a cordless 1/2″ hammer drill. You can go from a drill, hammer drill and driver with the multi function switch. There are also 17 torque settings for drill driving. This drill comes with a five year warranty. Nice addition to my tool box.

I received my Skil PWRCore 20-volt Brushless cordless 1/2-inch hammer drill today; it comes with a 2.0Ah Lithium battery that includes a USB port to mobile charge your phone or whatever else you want to charge.This Skil drill has three modes, hammer drill, regular drill, and screwdriver mode. The drill also has a two-speed gearbox to meet any drilling application. I like that the drill comes with over 17 different torque settings, and with the high-speed /low-speed settings, there is not much you can’t do with this drill.I have used the hammer drill to hang a flagpole bracket in a red brick wall, and it worked great. I also like that when using cobalt bits, you can easily set the correct speed.Overall, this is a reasonably priced full feature cordless drill with more than enough power to complete most jobs.

I used this SKIL Brushless 20V hammer drill to hang shelves on a brick wall. It worked very good. Using a 1/4″ hammer drill bit, it had no problems. Drilled fast and was very smooth. I love the light as it shines on the area being drilled. It has plenty of power. Battery charges quick. I was able to charge my Bluetooth speaker with the battery. Great feature. I wanted to see how big of holes it would drill. I used a 1/2″ hammer drill bit. It drilled it pretty quick in the grout lines. Used the same bit on the floor to lag down a wall. It drilled it but was much slower. I would recommend only using for smaller holes. I like how it has hammer drill mode and a regular drill driver mode. Definitely versatile.

Compact and strong drill. The drill far outperforms it’s price. Very satisfied with this.

First impression when opening the box was that it doesn’t look like what I remember SKIL being. It looks like a more expensive tool.I charged the battery, which charged fairly quickly… Took it outside and ran some 4″ screws through 2x3s for a garden fence. The drill is plenty strong. Has 2 speeds and a good clutch that seems to work well. I haven’t had a chance to use the hammer part of this drill, but the regular drill function works great.Overall, this drill seems like it’s well built. We’ll see about the longevity, but for now I’d say for the money, it’s a pretty good buy.

The Skill Brand, PWRCore 20-Volt Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill Kit Plus 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery (USB) Plus PWRJump Charger is a strong performer in my opinion. I have mainly used my PWRCore drill with my drill bits, yet I did try its capability installing fasteners and its hammer function with a carbide masonry bit. First off, the chuck runs straight and true, absolute no discernable wobble even with the smallest drill bit. The variable speed trigger has excellent range and control and the two-speed transmission delivers outstanding torque for large bits requiring lower RPM and excellent high RPM for small drill bits or tools that work best at high RPM. Battery life is impressive. And the built-in battery gauge takes the guesswork out of knowing when to recharge since I prefer not to use Lithium batteries until dead for the longest battery service life. I was impressed with the torque delivered by the over running clutch when driving fasteners, so much so I had to see if it could remove a lug nut, which of course it did not. For me, the hammer function was just OK. It seemed to lack the sharp impact needed to drill through concrete and the rock aggregates in concrete. I did easily drill through Terrazzo tile and for medium to soft masonry the Skill PWRCore drill is very adequate. The battery charger incorporates a cooling fan and seemed to recharge the battery fairly rapidly, shutting off when the battery is fully charged. No tool bag is included with the Skill PWRCore drill and charger which is always an appreciated accessory for a homeowner or DIY person keeping their tools protected and together when needed.
