Our take on the SKIL PWRCore 12 Brushless 12V 1/4 Inch Hex Cordless Impact Driver

The SKIL PWRCore 12 Brushless Impact Driver is a compact 12V cordless driver with a 1/4-inch hex collet and 1,100 inch-pounds of torque. Its brushless motor, aluminum gearbox and two-speed selector (0-1,600/2,600 RPM, 0-2,500/3,500 IPM) let it drive screws into thick material and loosen larger bolts. It suits homeowners and light trade users who want a small, light driver for cabinet, deck and assembly work. Against 12V rivals it trades peak torque for size and weight, and its PWRCore battery system adds cooling for longer run time, but the battery is sold separately.

About the SKIL PWRCore 12 Brushless 12V 1/4 Inch Hex Cordless Impact Driver

The SKIL PWRCore 12 Brushless is a 12V cordless impact driver with a 1/4 inch hex collet for quick bit changes. It loosens larger bolts and drives screws through thick surfaces. The tool is compact and lightweight.

A brushless motor powers the driver, and the gearbox is compact aluminum. A Halo light is 5X brighter than an average LED. Two-speed torque selection lets you choose between two speed and impact rate settings. It delivers 1100 inch-pounds of torque for driving large fasteners and bolts.

The tool runs on the PWR Core 12 system. The PWR Core 12 Lithium Battery has a patented cooling system, with each cell wrapped in temperature management material. SKIL states it gives 25% longer run time and 2X battery life. PWR Jump charges the battery up to 25% in 5 minutes, enough for up to 100 screws (based on a 2.0 Ah battery). PWR Assist Mobile Charging provides USB port power for mobile devices. The battery is sold separately.
