Thank you for doing this review! You did a great job… covered everything. Now I feel confident picking one up.
@@georgespencer3973 You're welcome and I'm glad you found this helpful. I don't use this nearly as much as I had planned on, but anytime there's a project in the house like putting together a bookshelf or chairs or anything. This is my go-to and it still is working good to this day.
This small screw gun is great for a lock Smith just add a longer bit to the screw gun to remove or install door knobs, also is great to install a light switch or a plug. Thank you for the video.
I totally agree. I find myself using for all sorts of odd ball stuff that a drill is just a little to powerful/big for. I'm glad you like the video.
As I watch this I looked for mine,it had been in storage for over a year, it still had a charge and works fine.
@@jjsifo1 that's pretty impressive. Mine has held a charge for a pretty long time without use as well. It's a great little tool.
I'm gonna get one. My ryobi went out. If you are a painter they are extremely useful. I use them to take off wall plates of sorts, especially outlet covers(in a fraction of the time).
How long did the Ryobi one last? I've never used the Ryobi I can't see this one being any worse. I really like it. They make more then one version of these Skill ones. This one is more expensive I believe since it twist where as some of them don't. I'd love to hear how well it holds up when you get it since it sounds like you will be using it daily. Let me know what you think in comparison to the Ryobi.
Showing a little Skil love!!! I got mine at Sam’s as a kit and really like it
I didn't even know they sold them there. That's sweet. Yes, I think the new SKIL tools are really underappreciated.
I really enjoy my screw gun like this. I use when I don't need to drag out the big drills and I use it all the time when I'm working on tools and stuff works really good for anything
I'm the same. Exactly why I wanted it. Glad you like it so much.
Just ordered this today $46 CAD. Thanks for the video, im replacing my Benchmark Twistor driver (which is a piece of garbage) with this. Looks like an awesome little driver 🤟
Glad I could help. I just used this today and it still works good.
You can probably put a bit of shoe goo in the end of the that magnet and shove it back in there 😁👍. Good review. Subscribed
I never thought of that, thanks for the idea. I'm glad you liked the video and thank you for the sub. I keep a set of Makita bits by it and use them whenever I grab this one. Really any bits will work I found.
@@tgltoday2717 E6000 would also work. I use it for stuff like that all the time 😁👍. I was looking at the 8V Dewalt electric screw driver, but that one is like $122 😅. But it's like a super car compared to the one on this video.
@@joseCalderon1976 I've not looked at the Dewalt. Haha super car I will have to look it up. Yes I like the simplicity😁 of this one and the price.
Thank you - This is a really well done review
Thank you for the feedback. Glad you like it.
Cool. I like that it's so low power...perfect for certain applications like small 1/2 long cabinet hardware screws. Also, in a pinch you can use a bar of soap to lubricate screw threads to make it go in easier.
It is such a handy tool. Yes, I've heard about the soap trick before although I've never had to use it. That is a great tip. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this great review. I am definitely going to get one now
You're welcome. I don't use it as much as I thought I would, but every time I put something new together in the house I grab it and it still works great. I definitely love having this as an option.
nice quick way for hobby stuff like taking part and putting things back together quicker without having to twist your wrists all the time
I couldn't agree more. That's actually why I wanted it. Really helped save your wrist and future carpal tunnel issues down the road.
"Who's going to put in drywall screws?"
[sweats profusely]
You would be surprised what people will do with this thing haha when I do a review like this, if I don't try to cover everything, someone will ask if it can so I tried to get a head.
really nice review, I would love to have a brewski with this guy and maybe a joint 🤷👍
Thanks man. Much appreciated.
One suggestion for you, but it's probably not a good idea to charge this via a computer USB port because of the fairly high current demands.
You could damage your port.
Good to know. Thank you.
I got a Dremel cordless instead for endless possibilities of use.😊
Nothing wrong with that. There is a reason everyone knows what a Dremel is lol They get the job done.
So! It's been 2 years since you posted this. How well does it hold a charge? And do you still use it like you did when you first bought it? Thanks for the vid.
I don't use it as much anymore. I'd say about 10-15 times a year when I'm in the house and I need to get a screw driver so not a lot. In terms of the battery, I charged it after this video and 2 weeks ago when I went to use the screw driver, the battery died on me and I had to charge it again. So I've been using it on and off for 2 years and only charged the batter one time. Unfortunately I can't say if the batter last 50 minutes on a charge. There have been things I could have used it for, but since I already had my impact drive in my hand, I just use it. My Makita XDT15 has a high and low setting and the low setting is pretty much perfect for everything delicate so it doesn't get stripped out. If I only had my bigger Makita's I would use the Skil more as those ones will strip out delicate screws easily. I'd still buy it again for $25 since it has come in handy when I needed it, but its defiantly not necessary for what I do any way in my opinion now.
can it drill 1/4 inch holes?
I just tried it and I will say it did make it through a 2x4 but I wouldn't recommend doing it unless your in a pinch. Defiantly don't buy this expecting to drill holes with it. I had to back it out about half way through and then start again in order to make the hole. My battery isn't fully charged so that may have played into it as well but it did stall half way through.
Thanks for the info
You welcome
I hate the fact the left is on right and right is on left
Me too. I really don't know what they were thinking.
Loved the video and loved that u respond to comments, i have a question was the drill bit a wood bit or metal bit?
Thank you. I try to replay to them all. The bit is a Milwaukee shockwave titanium but so that would be a metal, wood and PVC but.
I Like My Ryobi The Removable Recheable Battery
That is nice. One thing I wish this had.
very useful your review, saludos desde México.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
I ordered one yesterday with all the bits.
Nice, you will have to let me know how you like it. I didn't use it a tone for a while but the last couple month seems like I have a lot of projects in the house that I've been using it for. Putting together stuff like book shelves and tables.
@@tgltoday2717 will do, i had some off brand one off amazon, got it in 2020 and it go to where it wouldnt hold a charge
My fingers are crossed the batter on this one holds up a long time.
@@tgltoday2717 i ended up returning it, and found a a good deal on a Milwaukee M12 screwdriver on Amazon, i love it and the qualityl
Was there something you didn't like about it? Or you just found the good deal on Milwaukee so that's why you did it?
I have a couple of those, they can hold a charge for months.
I've noticed that as well. I think I've only charged this thing one time now and I can't remember how long I've had it. I don't use it a ton, but I'm still amazed with how long the battery lasts.
On board bit storage would be nice. They are easily lost or misplaced.
Agreed. 👍
@@tgltoday2717 That's why I went with the B&D instead. Both are quality names.
@@Mr.56Goldtop Indeed they are and reasonably priced.
@@tgltoday2717 About the same too.
Micro USB is obsolete. They should have used USB c and a rubber dust cover as well.
I completely agree.
$27.58 at Sam's right now.
Is it the one that twist into a straight screw driver like this one? I saw one at Sam's but it didn't twist. Although the case and bit assortment it came with made me want it and $27 seems like a pretty good deal I think. Thanks for sharing.
$16 at sam's
That's a really good deal. I just looked it up. There's only one at my Sam's club, it's got a really sweet case but it's not the same one as this cuz it doesn't give you the twist option of going to a straight screwdriver or the pistol style.
Disgracefully environmentally irresponsible to not have a replaceable battery. You have to throw out the whole unit when the battery goes bad.
I believe so. One of the reason's I wanted to try the Skil brand since you get a 5 year warranty on it. I figure $25 for 5 years isn't a bad deal.
no you dont have to throw it out. open up the chassis and replace the lithium battery pack with a new one. the specs should be listed on the li-po unit.
@@BobRooney290 thank you for the info. That definitely makes me happy as I've become pretty fond if this screw driver.
@@BobRooney290 It's cheaper to buy new.
@@GeorgeStar Make up your mind. Do you want to be economical or do you want convenience? It's a lot cheaper and more responsible to replace a rechargeable battery every 5 years then to put new batteries in every month or so. I have the older model Skiltwist and replacing the battery was simply a matter of soldering to connectors. No big deal and it cost me about eight bucks.
Thanks for the info
Your welcome. Thanks for watching.
