I like this tool. I bought it 13 years ago, while travelling, for a one time job. I have used it ever since. I am only an occasional user of tools so, I don't need expensive professional tools.
I will never buy another Skil product, because of their refusal to service this tool. The battery failed after a few (?) years. I contacted Skil for a new one. They replied that the battery was obsolete and there was no replacement. I left it laying on the shelf for a couple of years. Then, local people began replacing the cells in the original battery case. It has been rebuilt twice in the last 8 years, or so. I can't recount the use I got from this cordless drill in that time.
