  A charger and two batteries were purchased at ********************** and Skil had a promotion if you buy the charger and two batteries you get an extra two batteries. It took a total of 9 phone calls to Skill to eventually get them to at least replace the charger and two of the batteries. All the Skil tech support people said that they are recommending replacing all batteries because they are all leaking but corporate overrode this many times and refused to replace the other two batteries. All Skil does is keep delaying the replacement of the defective product so the customer just gets frustrated and gives up. They defiantly believe in the 3 D's (Delay,Deny,and hope I die mentality).Skil has a defective product with there batteries leaking and this his a major safety hazard across the board. My plumber **** who is using the product is very frustrated that these leaking batteries leaked all over him ,his car and all his tools . You would think after Skil seen the ctures they would step up to the plate and take care of the safety and hazard conditions of these batteries. But of course this has never been a priority for Skil otherwise I would not have filed this complaint.Major Safety and hazardous product to both the customer and the environment and ********************** keeps doing the delay process and never responds back to *********** plumber wants to know who is going to pay for the damage to his other good tools and car?

  I bought a Skil sander, from Amazon. The sander is missing attachments and the backing pad doesn't come off or rotate, as it should.Efforts to contact Skil are unavailing. There is no online or email contact information, only a phone number: ************. I've called, five times. Each time I've gotten a recording: Your call cannot be completed, at this time. Please try again later.I'm very unhappy with Skil.Thank you,****************************** ****************

  I purchased a Skilsaw heavy-duty worm drive table saw (SPT99-11) on June 13, 2022. The saw burned out and stopped working in April of 2023, within the one year warranty period provided by Skil. I first called Skil customer service to inquire about repair or replacement on April 11, 2023. I was told that if I could provide documentation that I had purchased the saw within the last 12 months, it would fall under warranty. I was also told that because the nearest certified repair center was located roughly *************************************************** a new saw as part of their warranty program.Between April 25, 2023 and November 15, 2023 I called customer service a total of 13 times in order to try and track down the saw they were allegedly going to send me. On one occaision (May 30, 2023) I actually received a shipping notification from Skil notifying me that they had shipped the saw via Old Dominion Freight Lines. The tracking number they provided me with could not be found when entered on the Old Dominion site. After about two weeks with no saw being delivered, I called Old Dominion and they notified told me that they could not locate the package and had no record of it being picked up by them. The representative also told me that typically when someone in my situation reaches out, it is because the party sending the shipment (Skil) has provided a fraudulent tracking number and never sent the package in the first place.Over the next several months, I spoke to various customer service representatives at ********************** who all assured me that they were working on the issue and had to bring it to their customer service leads. Each time I was told that it might take a day or two to sort out the issue and that they would call me back. None of them ever called me back.It has now been almost 9 months since I first reached out to Skil customer service and I still have not received a new saw or even a shipping confirmation or functioning tracking number.
