Our take on the SKIL PWRCORE 12 Brushless 12V 1/2 In. Compact Drill Driver with 2.0 USB-C Battery and 20W PD Charger-DL6290A-11

The SKIL PWR CORE 12 is a compact 12V brushless drill driver with a 1/2-inch keyless chuck and up to 350 inch-pounds of torque. It is about an inch shorter than the previous generation, which helps when working overhead or in tight spots. The kit includes a 2.0Ah USB-C battery and a 20W PD charger, so the battery can also top up phones and other devices. It suits light-to-medium drilling and driving around the house; it is not a substitute for an 18V drill on heavy work.

Questions and answers

Is this drill strong enough for home projects?
Yes for assembly, hanging shelves, and drilling in wood, drywall and light metal. For large holes or driving long screws into hard wood, an 18V drill is a better fit.
How does it compare with the previous generation?

Can the battery charge other devices?
The 2.0Ah battery has a USB-C port, and the kit includes a 20W PD charger and cable. That lets you top up a phone or other USB-C device from the battery.
What comes in the box?
The drill driver, one 2.0Ah USB-C battery, a 20W PD charger, a charging cable, a belt clip and a screwdriving bit.
Does it have a light?
Yes, an onboard LED with pre-light and after-glow so you can see the work area before and after the trigger is released.
What size bits does the chuck take?
The 1/2-inch single-sleeve keyless chuck accepts standard round and hex shank bits up to 1/2 inch.
