I love great products. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I get home and the thing I bought is as good as it thought it was. Nothing burns me more then having one pulled over on me.

A few weeks ago I needed a new drill to do some work around the house I headed over to the local Canadian Tire …(they sell alot more then tires)

As I looked through the different drills i found a skil drill and I figured the price was right and i looked pretty dam cool.

What they did right

• they put a light that actually works ….lights up the work area
• they intergrated a removable stud finder
• they intergrated a removable laser level
• arrows that tell you which way the drill is going

What is the one thing i would change in version 1.1

The light goes on when the trigger is pulled. That being said the light should go on before the bit starts turning….

Here is to great product design and having no excuse not to do the work around the house.

Cheers

Scott
