Not a lot of muscle required
As a woman and a former victim of repetitive strain injury in my wrists and arms, I was looking for a fairly rugged drill that I could still use with comfort. Drills have gotten really heavy, and the Skil was the most lightweight one I could find with a power-on lock, satisfactory power, a wide RPM range, and keyed chuck. (A keyless chuck is difficult for me to tighten enough to keep drill bits from cavitating, and I find the old-fashioned keyed chuck on this model much easier to snugly tighten and untighten.)

My old drill was a cordless, and it kept running out of power in the middle of a project and wouldn't hold a charge for long - I have to plug the Skil in, but I don't mind because I never have to worry about losing power.

The only disatisfaction I have with this drill is that it isn't very well balanced and because of this it quickly becomes fatiguing to hold with one hand. Using two hands on it is rather awkward also, because of the shape of the body, but doable. I've used it mostly to drill and drive 1" drywall screws into 3/8" particleboard underlayment with 5/8" plywood beneath, for an hour at a time, and have been satisfied with its performance. A very small investment, and definitely worth the money.

Great for small jobs around the house, not high on power!
You can use this drill for anything around the house but don't expect it to drill through hard woods. I find it works fine when you drill a hole first then use an attachment to drill in a screw. Otherwise if you try to drill in a screw first, you will notice that the bit slips off and things can get a bit dangerous. Most guys will know this, but I just found it out. This is a girls drill guys...go for more power if you are seriously looking for a working guys drill. It is a nice small drill for use in small jobs. That is the key! I guess I would like to buy a more powerful drill the next time around.

great house drill
If you need a drill for use around the house to put up shelves, draperies, etc. then I highly recommend this product. It's light (and not top-heavy) like many comparable drills and very easy to use. (in many cases, you don't need the chuck key.) The only quibble I have is that it doesn't work well with hardwoods. I tried to drill an oak board and it didn't have enough horsepower to do the job. Now if they could just do something about the satanic styling...

Very good, low cost drill
While I wouldn't drag this out to a job site, I bought this to have an extra (light) drill around the house and have been nothing but pleased. Very usable keyless chuck allows for quick bit changes and is more comfortable than others I've used. The speed switch is built well and it actually adjusts with some subtlty. Have dropped it a lot, built lots of deck furniture and its as good as the day I bought it. Recommended. ... Read more

Good Sander with no tracking problems
I have had this sander for several years and have used it for dozens of hours with no tracking problems after the initial setup phase.Dust collection system is a little weak - it tends to leave a pile of sawdust on the wood.The only problem I have had is the rubber cover on the drive wheel that drives the sanding belt can wander off to the side leaving you flakes and small chunks of black rubber which get throroughly embedded in your wood and are difficult to sand out.This is happening more often now that my sander has a few years on it (it happens about once every 10 minutes now).Skil doesn't sell any replacement parts.All repairs have to go through a service center and there are only 2 in the United States.So think of it as a "disposable" item, not repairable.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
This is one of the lowest-priced belt sanders out there.Now I know why.After purchasing one, I brought it home, did some stripping, and ended up returning it the next day.The sanding belt continuously moved about 1/2" towards the right after it was turned on.I would stop the sander, readjust it, and turn it on again.The belt would move.Oh, well.Defective product?

Other than that, it was not too bad to control, but very loud.It did a decent job in getting dark stain out on the project I am doing.

I traded it in for a Makita and am very, very pleased with my trade.I paid about $55 more for the Makita, but it is well worth the extra money.

I bought because it was cheap and has beem worth every penny.Bear in mind it is a light duty sander and is therefore less damaging to the work.I have probably 300 hours on it sanding red oak and it has worked perfectly-- no tracking problems. Since it is only an 18" belt, it is a little easier to control & may take a little longer to "get it off"Some places don't stock the 18" size.When this one dies I'll replace it with the same model

Price is hard to pass up, but try your hardest
I bought this sander a couple of years ago while under tough budget restrictions and have regretted it ever since.The auto track feature never worked right, despite much adjusting.Turn on the power and the belt moves 1" to the right every time.Last week I tried to use it on a piece of furniture thatI'm building and left track lines across the top of the birch.Today I'm shopping for a replacement, this old machine will be permanently mounted on it's side and used as a benchtop edge sander.

Decent little sander
I have used this little belt sander for years. It removes more wood than a good random-orbital sander, but not much more. In a pinch I used it to create a bucket of sawdust for epoxy putty (the sander got quite hot). The auto-track feature works perfectly - I wish it worked as well on full-sized belt sanders. The belt release works very easily - better than the heavier-throw levers on full-sized belt sanders. I had to replace the on-off switch once, due to contact burn-out - it is a standard part. This sander is not powerful enough for such large jobs as floor edges or smoothing entire boards. It is not designed to be clamped capsized on a table, though that is the way I most frequently use it. ... Read more
