5 out of 5 stars I have no idea for a title   July 19, 2010
Glenn Sellers (Brunswick, Georgia, USA)
I purchased my Skil 2372-01 7.2 volt litium-ion power wrench as a back up for one my company provided me with. I have had few, if any, problems with this product. It does the job that I need it for, i.e. freeing one had to hold screws while using the wrench to install the screw. The only complaint I have with this wrench is the length of time it takes to recharge the battery, up to 5 hours. However, as I said, except for the recharge time, I really do enjoy using this product.

This Skil wrench worked great for three uses. It is responsive enough to drive smaller screws but powerful enough for bolts. Unfortunately, it stopped working after the third use. It appears to be fully charged, the switch clicks but it is dead.


1 out of 5 stars Great tool ..When they work !!   June 14, 2010

I have purchased approximately 10 or so of these wrenches over then past 2 years.I purchased extended warranty for a few bucks extra. Problem with that is that there is/was such a high failure rate of these ratchets that local retailers are not renewing stock of them once they are out.

As stated by other folks, these cordless ratchets just simply quit working. End of story. So far, I have had six of them fail, all less than a year old. Even had several warranty replacement ones failed !!! There is a mass defect in this tool and Skil/Bosch needs to step up to the plate and admit it.

I have had brand new,out of the box units setting in the "Smart" charger in use for only several months[light use I might add] only to go to use it and it is dead. The charge light is green constantly with only a flicker of red when you push the trigger switch while in the charger. The charger output is there at about 16 volts but whether it is regulated voltage by the time the wrench dies,I dont know. It seems to be a battery and/or charger issue. I'm thinkin that the ole Skil Smartcharger aint so smart and have been killing the Lithium-Ion cells in the wrench.... OR cells are defective from the get-go. I don't think it is a switch problem in the wrench. Just guessing though.

Sad thing is that I LOVE this tool! It is wonderful for low torque duty as in dashboards or many light duty jobs. With this widespread failure occuring,they just don't last. Skil needs to go back to the drawing board and redesign OR repair what ever is happening to these ratchets.

The 1/4" cordless ratchet is a fantastic tool concept that just hasn't been quit perfected as a reliable product.... by any manufacturer that I am aware of.

I haven't talked to Skil for quite awhile but will be calling soon to see if they have taken positive steps to get reliable ratchets to purchasers who want and love this tool!




4 out of 5 stars Nice product for the price   June 10, 2010
Otto Geiger (Ft. Lauderdale , FL USA)
I needed this type of tool to remove steel screws in my pool enclosure structure. The screw locations are tight and require a short, right angle driver, and none of my drill/drivers worked so this fits the bill. I found it to be very good at the task. It is i/4 inch drive and will not take the place of a breaker bar or an air powered unit but it worked very well. The speed is quite good and the forward and reverse switch works well. If you have a stubborn bold, it can always be loosened with a manual wrench, then removed with this electric one. This was a good purchase. I would have given a 5 if it had more power.


2 out of 5 stars Secrets?   June 7, 2010
Bill (Inland Empire)
Why do I have to dig all the way to the bottom of the descriptions to find out that this is not the old all metal 3.2 volt Skillwrench 3/8th drive sweetheart of a tool that I owned before? The drive size is the most important part of the description, right up there with the price. When you pout the conversion on it it becomes clumsy.
Are you going to make another one? 3/8ths this time. please

I am still waiting.,/./././
