Amazon.com Review
No workshop or tool box is complete without at least one dependable and powerful cordless drill/driver. Skil's 2887-05, 3/8-inch keyless chuck drill/driver has a two-speed gear box that allows the user to shift from high speed drilling to high torque for driving screws or bolts. The gear change lever is located on top of the tool housing above the two-finger variable speed trigger. The forward/reverse switch on this drill is located just above the trigger so that you can switch direction without changing your grip, and there is a forward/reverse indicator light on top of the housing. There is a built-in bit storage compartment on top of the housing. Especially handy is the built-in bit index No more guessing at which bit is needed for which screw. Simply place a screw in the index and you'll find the bit size you will need. The 2887-05 also comes with a removable side handle for added two-fisted leverage when drilling or driving on high torque.pThe drill/driver is powered by an 18-volt Ni-Cad battery which gives the user superior power and extended battery life. The battery slides easily onto the bottom of the tool giving the drill/driver optimum balance. Included with the 2587-05 is an extra battery, a one-hour charger and carrying case. i--C.

5 out of 5 stars Love It   November 22, 2008
Nunya (Nashua, NH)
Plenty of torque, battery carries a good charge and since it comes with a second battery, I simply switch out the batteries at the end of each use. The battery charger hanges nicely on wall making for easy change outs and unlike other bit storage grips I've used the one on this drill actually holds the bit securely when not in use. br / br /I'm a very satisfied customer and this is well worth the price.

L. Erley (Southern boy)
The batteries don't seem to hold a charge very well/long. It appears in less than a week (with NO use) the batteies are a third drained.

Whe I first purchased this drill I loved it. Have had this drill for about 1 year now and the batteries do not hold a charge. I work in the crane industry and I need a cordless drill with some balls that can drill more than 1 hole when im working aloft.

Wambamman (L. I., NY)
O.K. The looks might not be to your taste (mine either) but for the bucks, this is a fine drill. br / br /Although some others said that charge life could be better, it comes with 2 batteries. br / br /Hey! If you can't finish the job with that much juice, its time to break out the corded drill. br / br /Enjoy br / br /Wambamman


5 out of 5 stars plenty strong   October 25, 2008
Dustin Allen (Pullman, WA United States)
I am just using this for small projects, and is has been more than powerful for me. On several occasions I have used it all day long. I have built walls, garden boxes, and will be building a shelving system today. Keep in mind I do not use this every day, but it is light enough that it is comfortable to use all day long. I bought this based on the positive reviews on here, and can't be happier with my purchase.
