It was Skil's most widely accepted product. FWIW I had a skil battery operated drill in 1979, 1980.. My then FIL gave it to me. integral batteries. I was slow, but it was a pretty good early battery operated drill. -- Jeff --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
