In this video we are reviewing the PWRCore 20 Brushless 20v 1/2” Drill Driver Kit with the PWRJump Charger b y SKIL Powertools. This unit in the video was provided to me by SKIL in exchange for an honest review and feedback - so that’s what we did here. I put it through some basic tasks to see how long it would take to run down the battery and test the capabilities a bit. I also show off how the battery can charge other USB devices as well as the quickness of the PWRJump Battery Charger. Overall I really enjoyed it barring some minor issues, this drill is great. I encourage you to watch this video and let me know your feedback on other stuff I could try out for a part-2 in the future.
They also make an Impact Driver but I have not tested that out yet - if it’s like this one though I think it would also be a great buy.

Does it very in speed depending on how far the trigger is pressed?
Yes it does, if you only gently push down it will turn very slow actually. Great question!! I may have missed that in the review, so I appreciate you asking very much!! 💪🏻🙏🏻
@@TheToughGuysTV I saw how much play there was when you demonstrated the light and with what the remaining trigger pull looked like I thought it may be a 0-100 real quick kinda thing. How has it held up?
So far so good! I dropped one of the batteries on concrete really hard the other day, and barely a scratch. It feels great honestly! Only one time I had the chuck come a little loose when I was drilling a ton of holes, but my old Ridgid does that after basically ever use so... still doing 1,000x better. Not perfect, but very close in my opinion especially for the price on this thing! 👍🏻
@@carls.6746 I've had one of these (Brushed) for over a year. AMAZING tools. ALL of the newer 20v ones.
I can confirm it does
just came home with a 12v combo kit,really like it.I own lots of the best tools but the new skill stuff is from Chevron,they make Flex tools also that I think r the best,I have a good amount of Flex tools.
Good review. Hope your channel does well.
Thanks Thomas!!! Much appreciated! Just going to keep focusing on doing projects I love and delivering good reviews - Thanks for the feedback and the support! 💪🏻
I like it. I bought the 12V brushless and it's great for doing what I do, which is DIY desks and shelves.
Same for me, it’s a great multi-use drill, and I’ve been hard on mine. Still going strong! Check out BitMag, it’s an awesome add on - I’ve got a review on the channel, can’t live without it 👍🏻
just picked up a set,I like it
skil stands behind their products....I have their 10" miter saw had an issue with it after 3 months of owning...when I called I expected them to tell me to take it to a service center to be looked at, but nope they express shipped me a new one :). I will buy skil in confidence after that.
I agree, it’s why I legitimately stand with them. They’ve always handled any problem with any tool I’ve had, they do care. Thanks for the comment!
I have the 12v set and i am looking at getting the 20v set
This PWRCore 20 series is amazing so far. I’ve got the Orbital Sander, the Jigsaw and the Drill Driver and Impact Driver. Battery charges in less than 30mins. I’ve got videos coming soon on all the other items too! 👍🏻
Can you compare this drill with another brand .. I mean SKIL vs. KOBALT for example or Makita
I personally don't own a few different brands, so it's difficult for me to provide you honest feedback in that regard. I have used Ridgid and Dewalt both extensively, although older models. I can comment directly on how I use the SKIL driver and impact driver, and both take a beating and keep after it. I've not had any major issues. I wish they both had built in bit storage, but I solved that with my BitMags th-cam.com/video/U4ajwmDX-nU/w-d-xo.html. The battery life has been consistently good, even with heavy use, hot or cold weather, always reliable. I recently tested out their outdoor lineup too, and so far same consistency in battery, ergonomics / weight, durability etc.
My Bostitch drill and impact set got stolen a few months back (cant pick your family) got them at pawn shop for 60 bucks 5 years ago. Anyways I got this for my birthday recently brushed motor with the basic charger 20-volt. It does what I needed it to do I underestimated it a little bit. Had to replace six 8ft 5/4in pieces for a porch. Did good with deep deck screws drove 48 of them all nice and snug still had almost a full battery.
Skils battery tech is def underrated in my opinion, and their drivers and impact drills are solid! Glad you’ve had good luck with them as well!
I like their 12 Volt line of tools. II bought the multitool, impact driver, drill driver, right angle impact driver, and a radio. Very well made tools.
Thanks for the comment!! So far I've loved this 20v lineup the same way - durable, dependable and the batteries have held up amazingly well. Thanks for checking out the video!
Dang..Skil figured out what Makita and Dewalt and Milwaukee can't..they put the light in the right place! I returned the black makita because of the shadow on the work area
I really loved the light placement as well. Really is on point! 🙌🏻
Best review I can find on this kit. Much appreciated! Thorough, not just guessing, lots of testing and footage. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback!! Much appreciated! I really to try to push the limits and show what I think of the tools. I’ve got the orbital sander and impact driver videos up as well if interested. Should have the jigsaw done soon as well! Thanks for the support 🙌🏻
Can you test the new compact 20v hammer drill driver vs this older one?
Bought the newer version of this hammer drill last year. Strongest cordless I’ve ever owned. Motor doesn’t work hard on concrete or brick - chews right through. I’ve slowly begun replacing my DeWalt, Makita, and Craftsmen with this system as a result of my experience with the hammer drill.
I have the 5ah battery. A real workhorse.
A company Chevron or such bought the skill saw and skill name. A brought this line out. I hate it's not u.s. but feedback has been pretty good. Last year skilsaw was lower in quality then and had been. I had to replace a 20 plus year old circular saw and was disappointed. I went dewalt 60v and it's been great and u.s. made. That being said Milwaukee and dewalt seemed to take off away from makita etc. And skill was down with black and decker. I'd like to see them up there and see makita getting more love. Because competition benefits the user and buyer. I'm just disappointed the 77 wormdrive is considered the saw that built America but not made here... but glad to see the brand trying to come back. And so far most reviews seem good, maybe I can buy a 77 and have some hope or newer guys can buy a decent line at decent price. Its sad that i got batteries that cost more then the tools and you get locked in.
Charles Herring with the batteries that’s how I’ve been locked in with Ridgid, and over time their stuff has fallen off for me. One problem after another.. with Skil I’ve been very happy with their stuff. Especially the driver and the orbital sander as well. Both have held up very well and I’m hard on my tools. Thanks for watching and for reaching out!
The battery tech is shared with their pro line FLEX and EGO outdoor equipment...same maker ...I'm also impressed as I'd luv to get FLEX but budget just doesn't allow it. Maybe this year ( still be able to get lifetime warranty) if business goes well.
But I'm liking SKIL so far.
I’m about to test out a Flex drill driver, very excited
when did u ever see a 2 amp battery with that kind of quality...........never that's when.If u really want too be impressed check out the Flex batteries
I recently snagged a flex driver as well, been using it for a month or two, going to do a full review on it once I’ve known it a little better. So far, the only downside is the weight with the Flex tools. I realize that it probably equates to build quality BUT, the Skil line is light weight and always has been a power house for me, so I’m not totally sold that the heaviness must = build quality. Time will tell
G'Day from Melbourne Australia
I just ordered one after seeing this.
Thank you
Awesome!!!! And hey - stay safe out there, the world is crazy right now!!! Thanks for watching!! 💪🏻
@@TheToughGuysTV 🙏🙏🙏
Great video buddy! Looks like a great tool! I have a couple of skill power tools aswell. Maybe i go for this one to now my Ryobi gearing starts to make noice a bit!
Hey man thank you!!! Much appreciated and yes this drill is AWESOME!! Thank you for the support, and for taking the time to comment! 🙌🏻💪🏻🛠
I'm ordering the 12v line. I quit from Ridgid for now. Just keeping the Ridgid tool box
Good choice in my opinion - Although I’ve not tested the 12v line I assume it’s the same solid build quality and battery life. Good luck with yours and thanks for watching the video!
Would you recommend this Skil 20V drill over a Milwaukee or Makita 18V? I am looking into getting a new brushless combo set.
That’s a tough question - I don’t have personal experience with Milwaukee or Makita in the recent past. I did when I was younger, but not in at least 7-8 years. What I’d say is this: pick your top 3 / top 5 needs and then check them off. For me, the Skil hits a few major points (the impact driver too just FYI) - Low Cost, Good Warranty, Good Power, Battery life is AMAZING, and Good LED light placement / brightness.
I just got the 12V set and they are all very powerful and being Brushless it's just cherry on the top
I agree! All around so far they’ve been awesome! Just posted a video on the orbital sander too if you’re interested 🙌🏻
No the Milwaukee and Makita are professional tools. These skills are definitely homeowner. If you have the budget a Makita and Milwaukee or higher end Hitachi(now metabo hpt or hikoki depending on country) those will all massively outperform and outlast these. A good way to tell if it's aiming for the pro market or homeowner is when they start coming with like 3+ amp hour batteries for drills. I like the 5 amp hour but if I'm doing only a few things here and there I take my 3 amp hour.
I just returned my SKIL 12V set. The drill is very powerful but the quality is ok I'm going to spend a lil more on higher quality next time
Wonderful .. i love skil tools but unfortunatly not found in egypt .. thanks
btw if flashes like that because it stops the battery from overloading itself "If the tool and/or battery pack are overloaded, the LED worklight will rapidly flash" that's a quote from the safety manual.
Edit: Also I know its been like 2-3 years so you probably know by now, But maybe people reading comments wanna know. The first 25% of the batter is charged at a faster pace then the last 75%, so you can throw it on the charger and get 25% batter in 5mins.
I picked one of these up a few months ago. So far it seems solid and well built. Time will ultimately tell.
I agree!! Mine is beaten up now but still going strong. The battery tech still surprises me - longevity and power it’s pretty awesome! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@TheToughGuysTV chevron battery tech is the Best right now.just look at Flex and Echo,even the skill batteries r sweet
good job on this video bro
Thanks so much!! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and let me know your feedback!!! 🙌
skill is making some great tools,Battery tech is top notch,like there big brother,Flex tools
Never heard of this brand before, and the big box stores here never carry them ! I'm impressed though thanks !
Thanks for checking out the video! SKIL makes some great stuff. Just launched an electric mower as well - they are doing some cool things!! 💪🏻
Skil Saw???
No, Skilsaw is its own separate brand. Skil Tools is different, although owned by the same company. Skilsaw focuses on saws only. 👍🏻
I saw that Lowe’s is carrying a smaller version of the PWRCore line now, not sure on in stock or not but I saw a display in store which was cool! We are in Dallas TX 💪🏻
Lowe's carries this brand as homedepot carries ryobi
Hello sir can you give it to me this is my favorite color red
Are you asking me to give you a drill? 🧐
Back on warranty,feel like mosfet burn,dril chuck start wobly lose from drill in no time-small bearing ?
I've not had any issues long term here with the drill, still going strong and the holding bits well.
The battery wasn't completely dead, the overload protection feature kicked in. Thanks...
Once you’ve run it dead it’s dead though. It can happen. If I wait a bit, and try and it’s still not working, I’d say it’s time to charge. Plus it’s got those nifty lights that hopefully tell you the charge level. ✌🏻
Amazing tool.
It’s not too bad! I’m still using this same drill, works well! Only issue I’ve had is the chuck sometimes comes loose, but not all the time. Thanks for watching!
Same box with my oscillator tool
Awesome to know! I was wondering if I had a specialty box. Thanks for watching!! 💪🏻
I have used the Bosch error skill before Chevron took over the brand and this is way better build quality and power of course kobalt is made by the same company you were mentioning issues Ridgid with your Chuck did you have it registered with a LSA warranty I haven't had an issue with my chuck I don't know if they need the whole entire drill to fix the chuck when they send you a new chuck in the mail cuz that's a question I want to ask them cuz I don't want to void my warranty by installing a Jacob's Chuck like the one on the skill brand you got that's more busier than the one that comes on the Ridgid 5 foot that on I would have zero issues like you described I had an issue like that with my last Ridgid gen 4 x and decided it wasn't worth the warranty so I pulled the trigger around the holidays in 2018 grab that $79 deal home Depot had what is might be an option for me if I do run into any issues in the future thank you for sharing
Thank you!! Ridgid says I need to drop it by a service center, definitely need to do it still. I’ve had that drill for at least 8 years, it’s been solid other than batteries and the chuck. I really love the skil lineup right now, and I’ve got videos coming on the jigsaw and the impact driver as well. Thanks!!!
Does it have a hammer mode?
It has a setting to put it in 'drilling' mode, but no hammer mode that I'm aware of. I'm actually not sure if Skil makes a hammer drill, but that would be a good addition to their line up if not. Thanks for watching and for reaching out!
How is this drill still holding up ?
Still my daily use drill! Thing has taken an absolute beating too, I’m planning a follow up video for this one and the impact driver - I’m super impressed by the batteries as well. All around awesome!
@@TheToughGuysTV nice thank you
good drill, lousy description high speed is not for drilling wood
Win some and you lose some I guess, I appreciate the feedback. Have a good one! 🙏🏻
Try to matchup skil, dewalt and makita
I would love to but I don’t own a Dewalt or Makita 🤠
hello that the protection for the drill, hello
5 yr Warranty is what’s included - not sure if that’s what you need. Thanks for checking out the video!
Are those batteries the same as those from flex tools?
I do not believe they are interchangeable. I recently got a flex drill driver but to be honest I’ve not tried to swap them. Will circle back if that works
@@TheToughGuysTV
Thx .
Love to see if its possible.
Memangnya sudah ada feature hammer drill?
Not sure I follow exactly, but yes there is a Hammer Drill feature on this drill. You just turn the torque adjustment all the way around to that setting. That is how I had it set when I was drilling. Thanks!
Seems like a really solid drill for the money! Huge battery though.. Thanks for the review
Thanks Miguel!! It’s an awesome drill overall - check out their cordless orbital sander too - it’s a BEAST! Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏻💪🏻
sorry to say but that NOT a hammer drill, why do that!!!!!
Do you mean why test it? I do that to see the limits so people can know what the limits are, to help decide on purchasing.
Great review. I got the same drill. But I didn’t get the USB port.
Not sure if they sell it w/ that upgrade still, but hope you enjoy the drill! Been solid for me for a couple years!
