The Skil 18V X-Drive Cordless Drill/Driver with Stud Finder 2887-06 is the Swiss Army knife of rechargeable tools.

Far more than just an effective drill, this model comes with several gadgets designed to cut down on trips to and from the tool chest. It's got a built-in worklight, so you can get a clear view of dim spaces. And, most impressively, it comes with a detachable stud finder, which tucks away unobtrusively into the top of the unit.

The drill itself is powered by an 18-volt motor, which means it's got enough drive to take care of most home-based tasks. The trigger accommodates two fingers, so it's easy to engage, and the removable side-assist handle provides additional control. This unit has a keyless chuck for easy bit changes, as well as a forward and reverse indicator so you know what direction the drill's set for.

The Skil Cordless 18-volt drill 2887-06 comes with two batteries and a quick charger that recharges in just one hour.


Pros: Versatile, several tools in one
Cons: Heavy-duty users will want to consider a higher-power drill
