Description of Skil 2887-07 18-Volt Cordless Drill/Driver with Laser Level
No workshop or tool box is complete without at least one dependable and powerful cordless drill/driver. Like most of Skil's drill/drivers, the 2887-07 3/8-inch keyless chuck drill/driver is just that. The feature that distinguishes it from the rest of the Skill drills is the built-in work light located on the battery compartment This is a useful feature for illuminating the working surface in narrow, closed-in or darkened areas. It 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.The 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.--C. Dwight Barnett
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skil 2887-07 18-Volt Cordless Drill/Driver with Laser Level
Customer Review: great Christmas/Birthday/Father's Day gift!
Summary: 5 Stars
I like tools. This is a well-conceived drill package. The weight and balance of the tool is just right for me, not heavy at all. It has very good torque for it's size and weight, but the side handle is really unecessary.
It comes with two batteries. The on-battery LED metering is great. When you remove it from the case after some weeks of disuse you can know how much battery time remains. The battery charges in about an hour, a real plus. A fully charged battery will far outlast the charging cycle, what a concept!
I suppose if you were finishing a project at the dark end of the day, then the light would come in handy, but I think it's a pretty silly feature.
The case is well built, with dual latches that truly hinge, instead of being a bent piece of plastic that eventually breaks off. I haven't used the laser level yet, but tested it and it works fine.
