Overview
The Skil HD6280B-11 is a battery-powered drill running on a 20 volt platform, rated at 2 amps with a top speed of 1700 RPM. Listed weight is about 11 pounds, on the heavy side for a compact cordless drill, which may reflect the tool plus included battery and accessories.

It carries a 4.3 rating across 635 reviews, though it shows 0 units bought in the past month, meaning purchase interest has recently cooled compared with other tools in this batch.

Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 20 volt battery platform for cordless flexibility
- 1700 RPM top speed for general drilling and driving
- 4.3 average rating across 635 reviews
- 0 units bought in the past month, well below other tools in this batch
- At about 11 pounds, heavier than many compact cordless drills
Performance notes
A 1700 RPM top speed on a 20 volt platform is typical for general drilling and driving rather than heavy masonry or high-torque fastening work. The 2 amp rating and roughly 11 pound weight suggest a standard-duty cordless setup, with the weight likely including the battery pack rather than the bare tool alone.
