Overview
The Skil DL6290A-11 is a cordless drill running on a 12 volt battery, spinning up to 1700 RPM and weighing 1.9 pounds. It fits light duty drilling and driving tasks around the house where a compact, lower voltage tool is enough.
A 12 volt platform and 1.9 pound weight put this drill in the compact category, built for one-handed control rather than heavy demolition or masonry work. The 1700 RPM top speed is on the higher side for a 12V drill, which usually means quicker driving of small screws at the cost of some low-speed torque.
- 12 volt battery power
- 1700 RPM top speed
- 1.9 pound weight
- Compact cordless design
Who it's for
Good for homeowners and light DIY use, such as furniture assembly, small screws and occasional drilling into wood. Not built for contractors needing a high torque drill for masonry or heavy framing.
Pros and cons
- Light at 1.9 pounds for one-handed use
- 1700 RPM top speed for quick driving
- Compact 12 volt platform
- Lower voltage limits torque for heavy duty tasks
- No clutch or chuck size specified
- Not suited to masonry or framing work
Performance notes
At 1700 RPM this drill spins faster than many entry level 12V models, favoring quick driving over raw torque. The 1.9 pound weight keeps fatigue low during extended one-handed use, a common tradeoff at this voltage class.
