Skil Power Tools

Skil is a prominent brand in the power tool industry, founded in 1924 following the invention of the world’s first portable electric circular saw. The brand's origin is tied to the Skilsaw Inc., founded in Chicago, USA. Over the decades, Skil became a household name for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts through its reliable and innovative tool designs.

In terms of manufacturing, Skil products are produced in multiple countries to satisfy global demand, with significant manufacturing operations located in China and other Asian manufacturing hubs, though design and engineering often maintain international standards.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned through major industrial leaders. After being owned by the German multinational Robert Bosch GmbH for over two decades, Skil was acquired in 2016 (completed in 2017) by Chervon (HK) Trading Co., Ltd, a leading global power tool manufacturer based in China. Chervon continues to manage the brand globally, focusing on expanding its lithium-ion cordless technology offerings.
