Officials at Skil announced this summer they were improving the quality and durability of their tools, and these three drill/drivers are the first evidence of that effort. Skil has added several professional features to these cordless tools but kept the price reasonable. These 12-, 14.4- and 18-volt models sport both high and low speed ranges, a metal gear train and a variable-speed trigger with electronic brake. Each also offers a 16-position torque control clutch, soft-grip handles and each is included in a kit with a one-hour charger, two batteries and a carrying case. The 18-volt model 2892-04 ($159) delivers 300 inch-pounds of torque and has a 1/2", single-sleeve chuck and adjustable side handle. The 14.4-volt model 2592-04 ($129) offers 200 inch-pounds of torque with a 3/8" chuck, and the 12-volt model 2492-04 ($119) provides 175 inch-pounds of torque, also with a 3/8" chuck. While not designed for daily abuse, these drill/drivers are good for any home shop and let you save a few bucks to buy more tools. PW
