Overview
Skil's DL6300D-12 is a cordless drill built on a 20 volt, 2 amp battery platform, spinning up to 1700 RPM while staying light at 2.03 pounds for one handed use.
The 20V platform and 2 amp draw put this in the category of a general purpose cordless drill driver rather than a heavy duty hammer drill. Its 300 units bought in the past month, among the higher demand figures in this batch, points to steady mainstream use.

Who it's for
Suits homeowners and DIYers who want a cordless drill for household repairs, furniture assembly and general drilling or driving. Tradespeople needing sustained heavy duty drilling into masonry or metal all day may want a higher amperage or hammer drill model.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cordless 20V platform for portability
- Light 2.03 pound weight for one handed use
- 1700 RPM for reasonably fast drilling and driving
- Not built as a hammer drill for masonry
- 2 amp battery may need recharging on longer jobs
Performance notes
At 1700 RPM and 20 volts, the drill is geared toward speed for driving screws and drilling smaller holes rather than high torque tasks. The 2.03 pound weight keeps it easy to control one handed for extended use, which matters more for repeated household jobs than for a single heavy task.
