My (very) old 12 volt Skil cordless managed the 6 x 100 OK but is

Try the Skil connected to a 12v car battery or engine starter, if
there is a huge difference it might benefit from recelling the battery
pack.

There are other things wearing out as well, the chuck is getting
sticky (presumably from mechanical wear) and the whole thing is
getting a bit rattly as a consequence of being dropped innumerable
times. Re-celling it wouldn't really be a good way to spend money I
don't think.
