7+ years and going strong!
This has been a great drill for 7 years! I use it for everything. One word of caution, don't use it for mixing heavy liquids or sand. The constant load heats the battery up quick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent casual home user drill/driver
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2012

I had a Skill 9.6v drill for several years. It had a NiCd battery, which means whenever you want to use it, the battery has probably self-discharged. NiMH would be about the same, so I wanted nothing more to do with those older battery technologies. This new drill with a lithium ion battery is GREAT. Lots of power. Heavy duty without being heavy. Easy to switch directions. Comes with a nice big soft case that holds the drill, the charger, and a big box of drill bits, plus some small items. And it holds a charge in storage, so it is ready when you need it.

Nice touch that a reversable phillips/flat blade driver bit is clamped to the base of the drill. Very handy.

I like this drill so much, I almost look forward to the next project. Almost.

There is more than one model of this drill. This model is nice, works smoothly and strongly, weighs little, and handles well. Another model has two more pockets for storing driver bits, and as driver-bit technology complicates -- from Philips to square to star and on -- storage for drivers, especially the dinky drivers, is a growing nuisance. My first drill from this manufacturer went 8 years with hard working. There are no user-accessible parts inside, so had to replace it, and recycle the metal. The charger of another model comes with a wall-mount device; this model has no such device, alas.

I bought this drill because it has Lithium Ion battery and it is more powerfull than the cordless drills i have. I used it to drill a hole in concrete to install anchors, it worked well and seems like it is a good quality drill. The battery charged quickly. The battery has a good feature that shows the charge level. The batteries are a bit pricey on their own, it is offered at decent price with drill and charger with this kit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Requiem for a once proud name
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2014

My Skil cordless drill came with 1 battery that charges only slowly. It costed me $100 on Amazon. I used the drill little because I build smaller items that charities sell to raise funds, so my Bosch right angle drill does 80% of the work. After 18 months the battery died, meaning, cannot work nor hold a charge. Skil gave me a new one after I told them I'd take my story to Amazon product reviews. 3 months later it, too, died after little use, and yes, I did store batteries outside the drill when not in use. Years ago Skil meant quality and its new owner, Bosch, may revive that. But until they do vest your trust and money elsewhere.

I'm pretty unimpressed with this drill, I picked it up to keep around the house for small jobs, it lacks power, and the chuck slips and loosens quite often. Battery life is as expected, charges fast.. but the drill itself is pretty cheap... definitely not something I'd rely on at work every day... but i suppose for around the home it will get you by.

I like the Ski power tools and have always liked Skil. Priced right good tool. My only problem I have is the dual power. It's sort of a joke. One has to remember this is for a hobbyist and it's dual power doesnt have much power, if you are not careful you will strip the gear in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect replacement for my Skil 2887
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2015
Verified Purchase
My Skil 2887 drill/driver finally bit the dust. After reading some reviews, I decided to purchase another brand. After a month with the other, I wanted another Skil. I picked up the Skil 2898. I went with this particular model because of the all metal gear train - the old one died because the nylon/plastic gears are stripped out. There are a couple of things I think Skil should have retained. To my disappointment, the light in the battery base in the old one is not on the 2898. The 2898 also does not have the removeable drill guide on the heal of the driver (not a big deal, but it was handy on occasion).
The Skil 2898 is solidly built. The chuck has no trouble holding a 1/2" bit and the motor & drive train have the power to back it up. (Use the handle when drilling steel - there is some good torque if the bit binds!) The batteries from my older 2887 work perfectly with the 2898, which for me is another bonus because I have several (I can also use them in the Skil C-saw, light and demo saw that came as part of a kit).

Reviewed in Canada on June 10, 2013

I've had it a year now. I use it a lot for projects around the house and yard, and it always works. The battery lasts a surprisingly long time, even when worked hard. I've forgotten it outside in the rain more than once and it's never been a problem. I actually came back to this page because this drill's been so good, I wanted to buy another as a housewarming gift for a friend. I highly recommend this tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars New Battery System is a Piss Off
Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2014

Great drill, but Skil changed the battery so you can't charge this one with the old battery charges and you can't charge your old batteries on the new charger, which is a real piss off when you have multiple batteries and tools from their old system. You won't have this issue if you had DeWalt, etc.
