 Cordless Drill UserOct 12, 2007
By D.M.
"handyman"
I have used this drill for almost four years now and I have never once had a complaint. I haven't really tried out alot of cordless drills and since I own a Skil, most likely I won't have to. It is very user friendly and finishes every job. I only wished it came with two batteries instead of one. I would highly recommend this drill for those home improvement do it yourselfers out there because you won't be dissappointed.
 Weak and Pathetic.Jul 14, 2011
By Gavin B. Pherson
"professional chef"
I purchased this drill as the "step down" from a drill twice its price at a hardware store. I got the cheaper drill because I figured I'm not a professional, I'm just a guy who likes to fix stuff up at his house once in a while. The counterperson assured me that just about anything would do for the minor tasks I wished to tackle, and I agreed. One would think that any decent, name-brand drill would be able to handle the light use required for occasional picture hanging and furniture-fixing, but if you're having this thought, you clearly haven't met the Skil 2466.
I've used this drill to put up shelving, fix some broken Ikea products, and mount the occasional frame. Anything over 15 minutes of use, and this thing begins to slow-down and weaken so badly it's barely able to complete screwing in a single screw. This is confusing, because it makes a vigorous noise like it's working hard, so you'll think it has something to do with the screws you're using or your technique, but with trial and error you will discover that 15 minutes of work is all this thing's got in it. Then it's back to the charging dock for another hour, because this drill does not have a plug-in option, and MUST operate by its battery. Trouble is, the battery is a piece of total garbage, and the entire tool's performance relies on it. I never assumed ANYONE would make a drill too weak to build an Ikea product, but again, the Skil 2466 has taught me so much.
To me, this is not a drill, it's a $60 headache. If your power tool can't stay charged long enough to build a simple object, then give us the plug-in option. I would rather have no drill at all rather than one which generates such frustration. Buy a better drill and forget about this mess.
 terrible battery/ chargerFeb 24, 2011
By homeuser
We purchased this drill a year or two ago, and use it very infrequently. We recently tried to charge the battery and discovered that both the battery and charger were no longer functional. We were told by Skill that it would cost more to replace the battery/charger than to buy a new drill. Bottom line is if you are not using this thing every day, it is a total waste of money, and you are better off buying a corded drill. This is the ultimate example of living in a disposable society. While the drill is still good, I have to throw it away because I can't charge it. The Skill rep told me that the battery has an average life of 3-4 years, so obviously they expect you to replace the drill every 3-4 years. No wonder our landfills are overflowing with toxic waste. I will never buy another skill product.
