- Taking a look inside a Skil cordless drill.
Built like a professional tool and but without the big price tag.
No wonder so many people recommend these tools.
Thanks again to ITI for sending them in for a look.
Not everyone is looking for a big brand tool with a big price tag. Sometimes, all we want is a good tool with a good price tag.

I seem to have discovered the Irish version of AVE. Keep it up man, loving your vids at the moment.
Cool, thanks!
My thoughts exactly
Maybe a BOLTR collab? Dean and uncle bumblefork
Doesn't drink either as he's at work.
I have Skil corded 10 inch miter saw and table saw and both work extremely well for me. I've considered buyin' some of thier cordless tools, now I may go do it. Ty for the video
This is the kind of content i like watching. To see if a tool is good or not by taking it apart and looking inside of it to prove that point.
We need more of these videos- I think there are many out there that would like to hear your thoughts on durability when it comes to power tools. This can be a terrific series of videos sharing with us your thoughts on the various brands and the tools they produce that you don’t see much coming in for repairs. What’s reliable, good craftsmanship, heavy duty and industrial etc. keep up the great work.
Thanks for this video! I had an absolute bargain 2 years ago when Skil was introduced to Finland, they were selling the big bag set of 20v brushless tool - drill, impact driver, hand circular saw, angle grinder, multitool and led light with 3pcs of 4Ah batteries for 499 euro. So I have invested into this line up and did quite some DIY jobs around my cottage and have been very surprised about the power and quality so far. I could not drain the 4Ah battery on full day of construction. I was cutting off from the old barn doors, a solid hard wood around 5-6cm and that hand circular saw did not have a problem with it at all. Never owned the battery circular saw and I was amazed how good it is. Only now when they have been established they don't do too much great deals. Normally 1pcs of 4Ah battery is around 70-80 euro. So not so cheap brand anymore, but it seems that the quality is there at least.
Thank you for letting us know about the SKIL tools I thought they were not very good for recommended them coming from you that is a bonus. Keep up the great work you do.😀👍
Thanks Dean, it’s good to see inside the skill tools and get your professional opinion on the quality. I have had this drill and a impactor in my basket for a good couple of months not sure if I should take the plunge or not. This video has confirmed it for me. Cheers👍🏻
Erbauer batteries fit skil tools and skil fits erbauer just have to nip the little plastic tab on the battery plus skil batteries are a lot cheaper I'm loving this channel it's an education thank you 👍
What do you mean by 'little plastic tab'?
After my drill gave up, I'm seriously considering getting a Skil set - glad to see a review on these before I do :)
Hi Dean, just watching you take a look at the SKIL drill. Brilliant machine and an excellent piece of kit .. cheers 😊👍
Love the accent 👍 Nice review
Cant wait for you to get your hands on Makita HP001G XGT tool in your workshop. Those ones have electronic clutch and way to much power. On second gear the break cant keep up with the chuck and slips few times.
my dad had a skil CIRCULAR saw for years was really good
I bought a corded skill circular saw new for 45 euros. Unbeatable at that price point.
i like the sound of Dean Doherty tool review time from the inside out.... try it again soon enjoyed it
Will do!
The recent Skil line continues to impress, going head to head with way more expensive tools.
I bet the impact driver is nice to
FWIW Skil used to be an American company. I remember them being more recently part of Bosch - as a budget range - but now they are part of the Chinese Chervon group.
@Dean I've got a 12v dewalt 3 axis laser level, I've not seen a video of you repairing one of these... is it something I could send in?
The newer premium line of Skil tools are an absolute steal. I have several of the newer 20v "PWRCore" tools and all of them are top notch. Don't let the era of cheapo Skil tools scare you away from the brand. The brand was made cheap when Bosch owned it which ruined the reputation. But now the same company that brought EGO electric lawnmowers and tools to market own and produce Skil tools now. They know what they are doing when it comes to electric powered tools. Just make sure not to buy their cheapo line products if you're looking for the premium stuff. Their cheaper offerings are a different ballgame.
witch line is premium ? the most expensive or also the compact brushless line?
If it's 3070 then I bought mine in 2019. Issues started years later and troubleshooted that trigger switch caused drill light to blink and not start sometimes.Tore it down and looked like connector plate where contacts were sliding was quite worn and had grooves in it. Is this one Tning TN28 as well? It was hard to find and perhaps little bit pricey since it cost ~ 24eur and new drill was around 65 :D. But I still ordered it and changed the part and now works great again. Perhaps should add some grease tho, wondering what the light yellow and dark gray stuff is?
And they keep beating big name opposition on the torque test channel. Perhaps Skil is back. There was a range of brushed Skil tools before this. They were rubbish. The brushless range a great improvement.
Can replacement parts be got for them?
Yes, but more for the grinder. Think the drill is like most brands now. Simply offer a compleat gearbox, a chuck and the motor. That's it.
Is there an adapter available to convert to use dewalt batteries
Is the rotor a permanent magnet rotor?
How do these compare to hikoki and metabo hpt?
Oh that was a nice informative video.
Que curioso! Cuando yo compro una hermana nueva o usada también ago lo mismo, la desarmo también para verla por dentro 😂
👍
Show us the grinder too, we want to see it.
OK I will
Dean, have you ever come across Ingco cordless tools?
Regards
No automotive style fuse like Makita?
Thank you very much. IMHO your channel is a very worthy complement (or better - successor) to AvE's trademark "BOLTR" videos, especially since these have become more infrequent over the last few years (perhaps he already has enough power tools in his shop for a lifetime, who would blame him).
Done by someone who has a ton of experience with all kinds of power tools and their failure modes, obviously. And showing the state / (un)repairability these tools are in after a lot of professional use & abuse.
Skil battery chainsaw pretty good
Try it.
What’s the spare parts supply like?
That I don't know, skil do supply spare parts for them. But I'm not sure about supplie. Iv never ordered any parts before
I recently changed trigger switch on mine after it started to not start intermittently. Found Tning TN28 switch only from one seller in ebay, price was around 20 something euros. This part was hard to find but there might be alternatives what also work, but not 100% sure about that.
Hi Dean, any thoughts on the best brand at the moment in general for reliability and longevity? Was thinking of going with Makita or Bosch based on some of your videos
Both are good. But I would be more inclined to go with makita myself. Better range of tools, easier to get and have kept up with brushless motors
@deandohertygreaser Thanks Dean! Looking forward to your next next video!
This coming from a guy that repars tools for a living you know its a good tool.
youre the dude with the Dewalt flathead grinder vid?
@@animal79thecat no not me
what are your opinions on worx tools compared to other cheap brands like Ryobi
around the same quality, Worx like Ryobi do not supply spare parts anymore. They are owned now by Argos I think so they are now disposable tools. I have a Worx belt sander myself and all it needs is a drive belt. but cannot get one for love nor money
You don't repair hilti? or they don't need repair?
My first cordless Skil drill fell apart on first use, money down the drain. They were garbage then. I don't have anything Skill except Skil 77 circular saw, my second one.
No dust cap on the switch
Isn’t ITI the owner of loads of tool brands?
The ITI I am referring to is a whole sale supplier of loads of tools and products.
They don't own the brands, they sell the tools.
I think you might be thinking of TTI Industries whi own brands like milwaukee, ryobi, rigid, hart and aeg.
If only you could dissect a Flex tool...
Dean, they look like Ozito tools rebranded as Skil. Or thats what they look like colour wise.Skil, of course, is more widely and a worldly known brand. I remember owning a corded Skil drill 45 years ago. They were very rugged and an exceptional drill, and it came in a metal box with a plastic see-through front. To be honest, I kept that drill till it eventually died a noble death. You could get special attachments for it, a circular saw, grinder, and sander. I just loved it. It took me a while, but I eventually got all the adapter attachments for it. It's long gone now, though. Thank you for showing us the latest Skil cordless tools, it's very interesting to watch. Oh, one last thing the Ozito brand in Australia is a not too shabby low-priced alternative to the more expensive brands on the market sold by Bunnings, an Australia wide chain of very large hardware stores selling to the local do it yourselfers and tradesmen in Australia. Again, thank you for the Skil show and tell, your videos are always of a high calibre and incredibly interesting.
You’re going to get better traction by name dropping Ozito’s parent company, Einhell. The skus may be different, but the products are the same. I don’t know who Einhell’s producers are in China. Chervon have a lot of customers they produce for and also own Skil , Skilsaw, Ego and also Flex.
They could well be the same tools. It's not unusual for a very good manufacturer with a good reliable product, to make the same tools for other companies in thier name. I would guess this tool is used by other companies, as it is a very good drill and quite cheap yo buy.
I have used these Skil cordless tools and had a good look at them. Can tell you they seem well above Ozito in design and quality. Don't think they are the same tool. Ozito are cheapo DIY tools and Skil seems to sit somewhere between DIY and big 3 trade tools. Like Dean say's they actually seem great value for money. Re old Skil stuff, I have owned many 240v Skil tools over the years and they have always been pretty good. They made most of their stuff in the USA and the quality always seemed good but probably a bit below the Japanese/European stuff of the time. I don't think it is the same company that is making the modern cordless stuff.
Skill is Chervon owned/made and Chervon is one of the biggest OEMs when it comes to power tools so it's entirely possible they're built at the same factory. Ozito is now owned by einhell but I'm unsure of how much of their tools they actually produce themselves.
@@slasher9883 yes I take that on board they are just similar in colour and design on the outside but inside they appear much better designed. Also let's not forget the actual supposedly the lowest of the low cordless tool XU1, yet in saying that I have always had the opinion that XU1 are not that bad especially for the price 39 dollars for a brushed hammer drill with charger and one battery is not too bad and I just love blue.
youre forgot chuck screw😛
Gas man
I do like Skil. Think they invented circular hand saw
Warranty service sucks.
Seems an awful lot of work Dean just to open that drill the one problem with them the average person would never be able to do any repair on them
Well the average person has difficulty tying their shoe laces.
@@normanboyes4983 yes but this is the meaning of this channel to help people do it yourself
And plus I'm not saying anything wrong about the drill I'm just giving my opinion on it
This video wasn't so much to show how it's repaired. It was more to show, that for an basic and cheap drill. Some of the main components are actually better quality then a basic bosch or milwaukee drill.
It's usually the switch, chuck and contacts that need servicing
12 v ligig
Should you be telling us all these things Dean?
Wee thing just about ripped your arm off 😂
Ha, I made that mistake a few weeks ago testing out a small brushless drill for a different brand.
Just another cheap wee drill like this, filmed 1 handed drilling a 25mm auger into a post to test it out.
Bloody thing nearly snapped my wrist, it's crazy how powerful a small brushless motor can be.
Had to finish the video the next day, as I couldn't use my hand. 🤣🤣🍳
@deandohertygreaser some of the new high end models. Festool maybe, have built in sensors to prevent this
