Description
This is a pre-owned Skil corded hammer drill featuring a powerful 6.0 amp motor and a 1/2-inch keyed chuck. Designed for drilling through tough materials like concrete and masonry, it features a variable speed trigger and a side handle mounting point (side handle not pictured). Keyed chuck ensures bit security during high-torque tasks.
Key Features
Powerful 6.0 amp motor, hammer function for masonry, 1/2-inch chuck capacity (larger than standard DIY drills), keyed chuck for maximum grip, and includes the original chuck key attached to the cord.
Authenticity Indicators
Genuine SKIL product. Authentic logo molding, material stamp (PA6-GF30) on the handle, and standard factory cord relief. Confidence level: High.
Flaws to Note
Cosmetic scuffs across the red casing; surface rust/patina on the metal chuck; missing the auxiliary side handle and depth gauge; moderate dirt buildup in cooling vents.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist for local pickup to avoid shipping costs. eBay is viable but shipping weight (approx. 4-5 lbs) will eat into profits.
Selling Tips
Wipe down the casing with a damp cloth and use a wire brush/WD-40 on the chuck to remove surface rust. Take a photo of the tool plugged in and running if possible. Use keywords like 'Hammer Drill', 'Masonry', and 'Keyed Chuck'.
