Description
- The easiest-to-handle cordless 18V drill I have used.
- This drill actually stands "on-end," unlike many cordless drills which are so heavy in the drill bodies that they tip over!
- The interchangeable "steadying handle" is a real plus
- Super-fast start and stop. The drill starts rotating at near full-speed milliseconds after pressing the trigger.
- Skil® really paid attention to ergonomics when developing this cordless drill.
