- SKIL 12V And 20V Power Tools Are NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, I can't believe it and I'm pretty sure you won't either! On our trip to Nashville for the STAFDA event we got the chance to see some new SKIL 12V and 20V tools that I have never been able to test before. In this video we try out the 12V drill/driver and impact driver, we also try out some 20V tools like the oscillating tool. After testing these tools and getting a good feel for them I can tell you without a doubt that these tools are quality and not what I expected! This is one of those situations where you need to try it to believe it, hopefully this video will help illustrate the power of SKIL tools. Let us know in the comments section if you would like us to further test these new SKIL tools and which tools you would like too see. Should we have some SKIL tools in a TTR?
Gotta believe Vince just sealed the deal for Skils future!
@Arian Ethan I don't care about the app, I want to know if she was cheating or no. I swear bitches are like kids, us men gotta constantly babysit and make sure they don't cheat. It's a full time job.
@@anonymoususer7663 wtf is going on here? 😂
@@anonymoususer7663 yeah those power tools really hammer especially those bitches!
My favorite Vince quote
"I will say this"
Not complete without, "Yo!"
Or "here's the deal" lol love Vince's speech
The best thing a demo guy can do is to let a consumer run it through real life tests like these and the tool will sell itself! Thanks for the vid. I'm sold!
China owned
@@trexmidnite just because its made/owned by China doesn't mean its crap
I’m calling it now, Skil will hire Vince has their spokesperson when they launch on QVC and the Home Shopping Network. Vince has me sold on these no doubt.
If you see these on QVC or the Home Shopping Network... then they are NOT for the Construction workers... they are for the home owners and I would never own one.
Alan T I’m with you on that, but my comment was for humor to show that Vince could sell anything. 👍🏽
They don't have this on qvc or hsn..Chervin is targeting prosumer, entry level tradesman with the new skil lineup. Juat remember, they also male skilsaw, so upgrading isnt to hard within the brand maker
Like the led light ring on that impact, really illuminates the work area well👍🏻
You know it’s trade show season when Vince rocks the plaid shirts!
gotta wonder why no VCG logo shirt or hoodie ? 🤔
Had no idea Skil was stepping up their game like this. At affordable prices too
@DougiE I never buy Expensive products off of amazon because they mix product and I don't want to risk getting something fake or returned.
Yeah bro it's phenomenal I have a bunch, Amazon sells them really cheap too
This video convinced me to give skil a try, i bought a 12 volt combo kit around Thanksgiving came with a drill,impact driver,multi tool,light and Bluetooth speaker and i gotta say im seriously impressed.. i just ordered a 1 hand recip saw today really like the brand
Chervon really bringing Skil back to relevance. I think they're aiming to make Skil "the" DIY brand with super competitive prices. Given Chervon's background with Kobalt, which are seriously underrated, they get a chance to break into mainstream.
Im looking at getting the 12volt stuff for home use so I can stop lugging all my makitas back and forth
I bought a bunch of these tools on reduction in B&Q thinking meh why not, one battery pack single charge, built and entire shed door from scratch and trimmed all the surrounding trees over hanging my yard with multiple tools. Skil for life now.
I bought the 12v set for 99.00 dollars waiting on my 39.00 4ah battery dec 5th. The drill has a 1/4 inch insert no need to tighten the chuck for the hex bits. I like it! 👍
Ok just the way the skill guy was smiling when your pushing the limits of his tools makes me want to take a look at them
I just bought the skill 12v oscillating tool yesterday. I was unsure since it was 12v but i used it yesterday and ut impressed me. Got whole bundle for $59 on sale!
Your video just sealed the deal im super happy with purchasing the Skill!
I'm an appliance installer and we use an impact to drill holes all day. I recently bought the new Milwaukee installation drill driver kit and it's changed everything. But I still use a DeWalt 3/8 lithium XR with 1/4 hex reducer to drill 1.5" spade holes for feeding electrical and dishwasher drain line holes. It even drills 6" holes for ducting in everything including for downdraft ranges in subfloors. I literally have no need for a conventional chucked drill. I had no idea Skill had a new line. I'll have to check them out.
Thanks for the feedback cuz, we appreciate it!!
The problem with drilling using an impact gun is a noise . It is annoying plus will damage your hearing.
Just picked up the 12v drill and impact from Lowe's for $99! ID574401 impact doesn't have the quick insert collar which is a plus in my book. Amazon has the 12v circular saw tool only for $80 and the 12v oscillating saw tool only for $42. Lowe's has the 4ah battery for $40.
Drilled a 1.25 paddle into 4x4 with drill no problem
Impact 3" screw into 4x4 ezpz.
Oscillating tool and saw won't be here for a month though.
I was gonna go with Milwaukee 18v on sale but I just need some stuff for wood work
That right angle impact is enough to get me interested. That is a pretty awesome tool.
Crazy powerful cuz!!
Just bought a skill 12 volt screw gun, now I owned a black and decker quantum for the past 16 years, and I really like the black and decker quantum drill hammer, only thing about the quantum is that it is really heavy and I had to work on a ceiling. So off to my favorite lumber store, and saw the skill driver and said what can that small tool do, especially 12 volt, well it worked like a champ, and I put in plenty of dry wall screws in my suspended ceiling. Still haven't charged it and I still have 2 lites left on the battery indicator. One really neat feature is if you have to use a drill (I have harbor freight drills that slide in sockets) just open up the chuck and slide the drill into it, it has its own socket down at the bottom, you could either lock it down or leave the chuck open, pop out the drill and put in a long screw bit. Totally magnificent and here I thought I was buying a light duty screw gun, and was the cheapest in the store.
Nice new offerings from Skil! Thx for sharing 😊
Great point about a plastic chuck in a simple drill driver - people obsess over metal chucks! Fair enough for heavy hammer drill usage, but when it comes to lighter work, plastic is just as good if not slightly better.
I love my skil 12volt impact! Even with a 4ah battery it's still comfortable all day of installing cabinets and casework. I don't use the belt clip. Some of these homes have over half a mil in just casework and running trim. Scratchy
WOW must be nice to see that beautiful work... Always admired trim and kitchen installers... You all do some great work.
Wish i had that skill. I just know basic electrical and trim. I do computer Networking.
This video started it all for me when I was not even looking for tools. Now I have 5 skil tools and 2 more are being shipped lol. Granted, I got them at bargain prices, but neverthless :)
IMO the best onboard tool led’s on the market. I’m a Milwaukee guy, but these Skil are quite impressive.
That light though... Wow
Wow, SKIL is rejuvinated, it changed a brand new logo, came with full range of cordless tools, good quality with amazing price!!!
i just bought the 12v based off of this video and i have used it 25 hours the past 3 days and it is as good as advertised i got it for $69 from lowes and it came with a second battery
Gotta see these in a TTR.
This video really makes me wanna pull the trigger! The 5 piece set just went on sale for 100$! Can’t beat that price no matter what!
Hey Vince compare the Skil PWRCORE 20 BRUSHLESS 20V sometime. I'm just a diy'er/homeowner and after seeing your videos at the Skil booth I bought the Skil pwrcore 20 drill driver and impact driver with jump charger for 98.44 on Amazon. Thanks enjoy all the videos.
Since watching this I bought the Skil 12v work light (2), flood light, Bluetooth speaker, angle impact driver (fantastic), impact wrench, 40v blower and trimmer, polesaw and 40v push mower. Fantastic line. They did a great job at a great price with 5 year warranty and service within driving distance. Exceeded expectations on every tool.
Nice tools Vince. On the Multi tool. The system that Skil is using to attach there blade appears to be the same as my 10 year old Fein Multi Master. The lever on top, the screw that holds the blade, and position of the battery pack all appear to copy an older Fein Multi Master design. Not that it is a bad thing, just an observation. Looking forward to seeing them for myself in the stores. Thanks Vince, very cool video!!!!!!!
@VCG Thanks Vince for the home depot coverage i hit up the batteries deal for Milwaukee for 199 going on now at home depot and also got the free Milwaukee circular saw. I also picked up a 5 tool Milwaukee kit with the1/2 comp0act drill driver 1/4 hex driver 4 1/2 grinder the 1/2in impact and the one hand recip saw for 399 awsome pick up.
This is the video I have been waiting for! 👍
Always been a Skil fan since purchasing my first Skil 7, 1/4 circular saw in 1988. My Skil, model 5250 still runs like a champion!
Skil is making some awesome cordless tools! Thanks for sharing! 🤜🤛
Yes! Put the new SKIL to the test on TTR. I know that SKIL and SKILSAW are different factions while skilSAW being the quality name. Change my mind fellas! Btw, those LED light rings are sick! 👍 Thanks Vince and God bless!😁👍
Looks like SKIL is definitely making the move up cuz!!
I was pleased to buy a Skil 20V impact driver just this week. Excellent value, I think
How is it now its been a year.
Sold me on the oscillating multi tool. Just bought one!
Those 12V tools look huge. Almost twice the size of Milwaukee 12V drills. At 0:47 even Vince is surprised because he thought it was a 18-20V tool. I do like the LED rings though. Milwaukee should take notes on that.
Good to see skilsaw pushing into the market in my country theyve almost disappeared but if they manage to push out they might just bring some good competition to the market.
I Remember making Skil’s first cordless drills 50 years ago. It’s amazing that todays battery tools approach corded power
Great video vince
Back in the 90's I know that alote contractors had a skill saw in the truck.
I had a corded skil grinder for 8 years until a youngster borrowed it and left the slid switch in the lock position with it unplugged. Coming back from the bathroom, I went to plug it back in and that grinder kicked itself off the table and broke in two places ☠🤬😰.
I had a Bosch corded grinder and that lasted for 2 years until it died.
Great video Vince!
I got a skil drill back in maybe 2006 or 2007, i think it was their first lithium ion battery drill, i have used it a lot and it is still going strong.
By the way, it was on sale and i only paid like 50 something dollars
I'm impressed too, I was thinking of going Ryobi HD, Vince just put the last nail on Ryobi for me..
This stuff looks good. It‘ ll be nice when available. Or if they are ...where can I get them. ( I use Milwaukee now). I love the lights on these. there are many times whee the crappy lights on the ones I use now are useless
Because of this video, I got myself Skil 12V impact and drill combo kit and it's night and day compared to the brushed tool I use before.
Great to hear!
This reminds me of a documentary I watched recently about when the Japanese cars came into the American market. People wanted reliable and AFFORDABLE cars that might not have the prestige of the big brands, but will definitely get the job done.
Hercules, Ryobi, Rigid and Skil are bringing that to the tool market today.
..Ryobi is one brand that I have seen both the quality/durability(not talking about "features" here) slip, while simultaneously the prices have risen..by quite a bit, actually..Skill strikes me as a possible replacement for Ryobi in this arena, if only we can get a large retailer to stock the entire line (these are one of those things I don't like to buy online..I like to actually handle and check this stuff out before I buy it, and a good retailer will take care of you if you have problems, without the hassle of having to ship it back)...
Skil stepped it up like crazy. AND IM EXCITED
Hello Vince and VCG! Really appreciate your work! Congrats!
Great video, very interesting tools,just bought 4 of the tools looking forward to trying them out soon.
I was sent out Skil's newer line-up to use, and I was blown away w/ the durability (Keep in mind, I literally destroy tools weekly). It wont compete with Milwaukee or Makita by any means, but for the price? It blows the competition away, in my opinion, as far as Rigid, Ryobi go.
So how many Skill tools you will destroy before one from Makita?
I use Makita and can’t kill it drilling 2 9/16 holes for years day in and out.
Actually!! Their drill kicked Mils freakin ass hands dn!! So YES!!! THEY CAN COMPETE AND BEAT MILWAUKEE!!! MIL AINT THAT GREAT!!! ANS WAYYYY TOO DAMNED EXPENSIVE!!!
FOLKS ALWAYS THINK THAT HIGH PRICE MEANS GREAT SHIT BEST SHIT ETC BUT IT DONT!!
I SAW SKILS DRILL BEAT THE HELL OUTTA MILWAUKEE HANDS DN!!! LEFT IT IN THE DAMNED DUST!!!
SOOO I BEG TO DIFFER!!
Bought the 12v drill driver last week, used it to build my workbench and it worked great, lot of power and lite weight.....
Used to be a Skil guy and the quality of the Skil brand just went to pot so I ended up going to another brand. So glad to see Skil is upping their game.
I have a SKIL sander for almost 2yrs and I just used it a few mins ago, still just as good as day one, the battery last just as long as it did since 2019, the price is way cheaper that the comp., I'm going to get the Planer.
Just bought 8 tools from kobalt line, which is basically skill in steroids cuz of 24v. Loving it. I tested dewalt kit before buying and kobalt smokes it out of the water. Keep em coming Chervon
Vince "I have to say" tool man.
Keep up the good work yall love your vids!
I find it really interesting that Skil is a Lowes only power tool. I think we are seeing the formation of a new power couple to fight against the Ryobi / Home Depot craze sweeping the DYI and prosumer. Its never been better to be a power tool fan. Great tools coming out at an affordable price point!
walmart sells them as well
Increíble marca skil 😲🤤muy buen video saludos desde isla de Maipo santiago chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Been shopping around for the cordless line and wanted a review on Skil. Was hoping you did one and viola!
I did buy the 12v drill and impact driver kit on amazon for $78 (charger and 1 battery included) now it is $150. they come with a 3 years warranty but if you register the tools they will extend it to 5 years.
1 1/2 daredevil spade test passed.
I have alot of the 12v brushless line and the 20v brushless line...they are the real deal!!...I just sold my milwaukee fuel 12v set in favor of skil. I wish there kits would come with storage bags, but thats the only small gripe I have..tools are fantastic though..and the price point is perfect! Batteries last along time, there chargers are awesome and most of there Batteries come with a USB adapter to power my phone if need be on the job..they are quickly becoming my favorite
Hey Vince I see your testing out new toys!!awesome!!!I think I’ll never replace my Milwaukee’s but we never know right,never say never 😂
Vcg construction I've been looking at getting on a different platform and I'm pretty sure you just sold me in the skil lineup, which I had no idea they had. I'm a DIY guy so would you recommend the skil over other DIY brands? I'd also like to see a TTR with the Skil impact.
The usbs are cool and i like that the charger has a boost kind of thing but if you are not using the boost they should only be charging at 1c or less
Very underrated line
Good stuff, been looking to pick up a 12 volt line might look into these more, good vid
Too bad skil became chinese owned in 2016
@@trexmidnite just because its made in China doesn't mean its crap
After watching this video twice, I ordered the combo kit which will be here in 2 days.
I just bought a kit 12v impact and drill and I just love this tools, they have a nice looking design, very comfortable in the hand, nice usb feature, halo light, quick charger, batt. power level....etc. SKIL is a nice brand well made quality tools...I will definitely consider something else in this line of tools. Thanks for the demos..!!!
I bought the new 40 volt Skil brush less saw . I love it . I'm gonna do the whole platform
Tell Skil to give us a small grinder/cut off to!!!!!!l In the 12v platform that we can put a stone blade on for tile. I love the Milwaukee 12v cut off for cutting mosaic's, drain holes and receptical cuts for backsplashes. I'd imagine they would come up with something very practical.
Just picked up a combo of these 12v tools from Lowe’s, I’ll be putting them to the test this week, this video has me pretty stoked for tomorrow!
I need to see a cordless router and a barrel style jigsaw with a blower and I'm sold.
Skill is what I'm have in my corded tools guess you could say they were my first love. Went Ryobi when I went cordless so I haven't used the skills much since..... My Ryobi tools may be getting nervous
..yeah, me too..have lots of Ryobi stuff, some of it several years old..I must say I have had many more problems with the newer "improved" Ryobi stuff..Smoking, melting motors on nearly-new reciprocating saws(more than one-and with normal use)...nearly new 18V batteries that suddenly quit working and won't take a charge..problems with the blade-release mechanism on the recip saws...
Happy for skil. That battery worm drive and the whole shebang!
That was very cool and collected of Vince not to call out the collet issue on the 12 impact driver.
And they look good too!
My,my, Skil is back in the GAME. After over a decade of fall asleep.
I need that multi tool cutter. I make a lot of prescision cuts on finished materials. My Ryobi with it's detachable head was a vibrating mess plus it caught fire in less than a year. I used the original expensive German version of this tool and was spoiled. I need better and this looks like it.
Hey Vince, just picked up the Skil 12v multitool. It outperforms my M12, my Makita 18, and my DeWalt 20.
Waiting patiently for them to bring out a framing nailer.
I'm really considering the 12v brushless sawzall for cutting pvc all day
Got 12v. Drill kit and the 5 yr warranty when u register it!
The LED on those Skil tools looks pretty nice. I've been thinking about a new oscillating tool. Not sure if I want to go Milwaukee or try the new Skil.
chervon took over skil in 2017. for 3 years they been cooking this new stuff up thats just arrived. they are the same guys behind the ego lawnowers and that stuff rocks. i can assure you they will take skil above and beyond anything tti makes
Probably the coolest light I've seen on a tool
I was about to pick up this 12v drill for home stuff the other day. Got a super deal on a Makita but wish I bought this one. The Makita is way too powerful and large for drywall or hanging cabinets. So out to the shop it goes. I just might have to get the Skil 12v drill.
Well you weren’t lying. I stand corrected. Preconceived notion was wrong. I’m convinced Makita is sub’ing out their stuff. Somebody must be. These looks serviceable though for sure
I just picked up the five piece set off amazon after watching this! $175 what a steal
6.18 'like butter'. Yeah right! It took ages and the bit feel out the chuck!!!
With the Worm Drive circular saw... i knew Skil was one to watch...that worm drive saw is the very best saw money can buy on the open market ..if they invest half of what they put into that saw in their other tools , watch out Dewalt, Milwaukee and Makieta! Proud for you Skli!
Vince! Man that oscillating tool. When’s that gonna come out? Looks like they redesigned the light which is primo. I switched to Milwaukee but man I might just have to pick up the oscillating tool if it is durable
Nice skil power tools
@VCG the demo on the oscillating multi tool, the battery says 20v but on the skil website the 20v oscillating tool looks different and isn’t brushless. So did they just not release the brushless version yet?
multitool demo was really impressive!
I am happily impressed!
I am FROM BRAZIL and i Always WATCH your videos!CONGRATULATIONS
I've owned the 20v 4 tool set since last year and let me tell you... As
the first power tools I've ever owned and remembering as a teen how
cheaply built and short lasting battery powered was... These things are a
game changer at their price point and the best option for wireless and
even some of their wired tools for home owners, woodworking and metal
guys. Not to mention installers and people not on construction sites.
Edit: YES there is a BIG difference between the old crap Skil was selling and the new stuff. Anything that looks like the "PWRCore" line is GOOD stuff, even the wired. IF IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE PWRCore 12v OR 20v LINE... DO NOT BUY IT!
I liked skil then Bosch let them languish. I'm glad to see them back. Unfortunately I'm invested in Ryobi one+ now.
Any idea when the 20V multi tool will be released? Looks the current offerings are older models.
got me sold looks like my shop will be sporting skil pretty soon
I’m really impressed with the products and the price points that Skil is coming to market with. I’ve seen them at ORMES Hardware and you can feel the quality jus holding them.
