2-Tool drill combo kit—Drill set includes a brushless 12V 1/2-inch drill driver and a brushless 1/4-inch hex impact driver, both of which are brushless. In addition, a PWR core 12 2. 0Ah Lithium battery and a PWR jump charger are included.
Compact SIZE—The digital Brushless motor provides compact, lightweight power for both the cordless drill driver and the impact driver when used in conjunction with a cordless drill driver.
The industry-leading PWR core 12 Lithium battery technology surrounds each cell with cooling material, allowing the battery to operate for 25 percent longer run time and two times the battery life than other lithium battery technologies available.
Power on the go—Plug in to the battery’s USB port wherever you are, whenever you want, thanks to PWR assist mobile charging technology.
The battery can be charged from 0 percent to 25% in just 5 minutes, or from 0 percent to 100% in 45 minutes, depending on how fast you charge it.
By locking a 1/4 inch hex bit into the drill driver Hybrid chuck and not tightening the chuck, you can save time on bit changes and reduce start-up time.
Controlled torque—the impact driver’s two-speed torque selection allows you to choose between a low speed for more control and a high speed for greater power.
For light to heavy-duty jobs, the SKIL PWR core 12 2-Tool power drill and impact driver Combo makes use of the Brushless 12V 1/2 inch cordless drill driver, which is powered by a Brushless 12V battery. Cordless impact drivers are capable of removing large bolts, driving screws through thick surfaces, and working with the most difficult materials. All of this power is contained within a design that is both compact and lightweight.

PWR core 12 technology from SKIL is designed to provide longer battery life, faster charging, and greater convenience. About SKIL PWR core 12 technology: the innovative PWR core 12 system is built for longer battery life, faster charging, and greater convenience. Each cell in the industry-leading PWR core 12 Lithium Battery technology is wrapped in temperature-management material to keep the battery at a consistent temperature throughout its service life. Cool and powered on for a 25 percent longer run time and a two-fold increase in battery life. In just 5 minutes, PR can charge the battery from 0 percent to 25 percent, providing enough power to drive 100 screws through the battery (based on 2. 0Ah battery). a PWR assist, and mobile charging, which provides power on the go while also providing a USB port for charging other devices. These advancements contribute to the outstanding performance of the PWR core 12 system.
Although this is a nice 12 volt kit, it does have one flaw, which may only be a problem for some people. Purchased because I was in need of a battery and charger for my Skil 12V oscillating multi tool and this seemed like a reasonable way to get one. I was not disappointed. The Makita and Milwaukee systems are two other 12V systems that I use on a regular basis, so this is a comparison between the two.
Drill: This drill is significantly larger than both the Makita 12 brushless drill and the Milwaukee 12 brushless drill. This is the pièce de résistance of the set. When you look at the measurements, it doesn’t appear to be that much larger, but when you put them side by side on your bench, the difference is very noticeable. With regards to drilling pocket holes in dimensional lumber or hardwood, all three are capable of doing so with relative ease. They can use a forstner bit to drill 3/4-inch holes in plywood, pine, or MDF, or they can use a small whole saw to cut through the material. To me, the best ergonomics are provided by Makita, Skil, and Milwaukee (I dislike the slide style packs and what they do to grip size, and I typically wear size large gloves).
While this is an adequate 12-volt impact driver, I’m not convinced that a 12-volt impact driver is an especially useful tool for most applications. However, it does not have the power to drive large fasteners without first drilling a pilot hole, but it does provide a quick tool for driving a screw after you have already drilled the pilot hole. On either the Makita or the Milwaukee, the Halo light is preferable to the lights on the other tool.
Battery and Charger: These are quite possibly the best 12 volt battery and charger combination that I have ever used in any of my projects. The USB port on the battery, as well as the USB port on the charger, are both marginally useful features. While not unique, the battery gauge on the battery is preferable to having one built into the tool, as is the case with Milwaukee’s battery gauges on their tools. Finally, the jump charge feature comes in handy when you just need to get a job done quickly. However, this is precisely where the flaw in this kit is found. I’ve picked up a tool and taken it to the job site with only one battery on more than one occasion, only to realize that I’d forgotten to take the battery out of the other tool.
