This is a great drill/driver with tons of torque and power for a battery powered tool! Battery lasts a LONG time and charges quickly! The chuck seems weird at first, but, once you get used to it it is all good! Skil, keep up the good work!

I bought this to upgrade to a 1/2" chuck from my Model 2867 Skil 3/8" chuck cordless drill which uses a Nimh battery. This one uses a Lithium battery which lasts longer and stays charged while idle much longer. So far I've found it to be an excellent choice for the price. It works well, has good torque and although I wasn't impressed with the fact it had a light, I've found it to be really handy. My only reason for a 4 star review is that I can't find a hard case for this drill anywhere. I have one for the older drill and it makes storing and transporting the unit convenient. Otherwise this drill is 5 star.

I wasn’t expecting a whole lot from this drill/driver but it hangs with the big boys. It has plenty of power and it much smaller than the other brands. I like the size/power ratio and it will become my go to for many tasks. For reference, I have other drill/drivers in the Ryobi, Dewalt, and Bosch lines. Great drill and even better for the money.

Haven't had to long but love it so far. Lite weight but a ton of power. I used it for quite while and battery was still at 100%. I totally recommend it.

Plenty of power for a light easy to handle drill. I am replacing an old Dewalt drill and the difference in weight is amazing.

Overall Great Drill & Battery

I’ve been using this PWRCore Drill Driver with the PWRJump battery / charger for about a month now. To sum up my overall experience, I am extremely happy with this drill / charger / battery - the whole package. I will preface that I am a DIYer and Woodworker and I build all types of projects on a regular basis, and burn through tools quick.
To start with the drill itself, at this price point the build quality, weight, and overall ‘feel’ of the drill are all top notch in my opinion. I will also note that the belt clip is far superior to my previous cordless drill (a Ridgid). It sticks out a bit further and is much more substantial in feel - easily hooks onto my belt which is a MUST. The textured finish on the chuck is also fantastic - easy to grip.
As far as functionality, the variable speed is awesome and it doesn’t start off in a ‘blast’ on high speed setting like other drills I’ve owned. Clocking it down to slow setting also is a nice change. You can easily adjust torque, or set to drill like all other cordless drills I’ve used - smooth transitioning and easy. The LED light is specifically great because of the brightness and the angle it shines the light. It is pointed directly at the point of the drill basically, and compared to other drills again this stands out.
Power was top notch and THE BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING! This is the first battery I was able to use a USB port on to charge up another device, and that was So Great! I record a ton of video for social media in my shop, so being able to plug my phone into this battery was a perk I didn’t even know I needed! The Charging Station rapidly charges up the battery, once I was finally able to run it down, and it works as advertised.
CONS:
- The only real con I could come up with is that there doesn’t seem to be a place to store a second bit. On my previous drill, there was a spot on the rear side to store a backup or secondary bit, and that was something I’ve become used to having. I use a lot of star bit and Phillips head for various types of projects, so it’s nice to quick swap that out.

All in all, this Drill Driver Kit is a tremendous value and if you need a fresh start to your cordless line-up, or you are purchasing for the first time do not sleep on this drill. Pick this thing up and get back to work!
