Wish I had found this flip drill sooner. Having bits I use often available is so convenient and time saving. I can have my starter hole drill bit and torx bit in the flip head for quick access. I have bought a separate chuck adapter to use with my older round shank bits and some newer hex shank bits to use in the drill.
They really nailed it (drilled it) with this one. I will say most of Skil’s products in the past few years have been great and hit way above their class, but this one is just an ingenious product.
The flip head is amazing when assembling things with different screw heads or switching between a pilot drill bit and a screw. Despite some reviews power is perfect for what it is. So far Handled concrete pilot holes, drove 3” construction screws into without a problem. Anyone that would think to pick this up and expect it to drive 5” lag bolts or drill huge holes through concrete should not be using power tools.
Overall the package is great. Little touches are well appreciated like the mini set of bits and the braided usb-c wire. Also love the battery system. Not another bulky charger to clutter my workbench. Just plug in a usb-c and it charges (or charges whatever you plug in).
Nice concept. Makes it quicker to drill and screw in the fastener without changing the tool. The design is easy to hold and the weight distribution does not create pain or fatigue in my arm with a damaged shoulder. Battery life is great. The tool is compact enough to store easily
Handy little drill to have “at the READY” for small drilling and driving projects around the house and yard, when ya don’t want to pull out the big drill/driver case. I especially like the “Flip” feature. This setup would be ideal for a college student, or someone just starting out with their own power tools. Nice!
