Should be perfect. Seems skil is pushing quite a few 12v tools these days so plenty of room to grow it if you need.
Thinking about picking these up for my parents. I got them a cheap HyperTough set a few years ago but they're pretty garbage!
I have both these kits from these deals:

Those were excellent deals/prices. The tools are great. Nothing wrong with 12v around the house or even lots of jobsites. I'd just wait for a deal on a larger kit again in the next few months.
Something to consider if you're in a house with yard you upkeep, you may want to match your power tools with outdoor power equipment to all use the same batteries. That's stuff like a trimmer, blower, chainsaw, sprayer, etc. and maybe even a push mower if it's a small lot. You'd want to stick with the big 3 (Milwaukee, DeWalt, and Makita) if you go that route... maybe Kobalt. But yes, it's expensive to buy that convenience. Out of all my Makita "power tools" I probably use the blower the most, and it's been extremely nice having lots of batteries for it. The vacuum or trimmer is a close 2nd and 3rd before stuff like drills and impact drivers. I reached for my Skil 12v drill before my Makita 18v to place anchors to hang some pictures a couple weeks ago. It did the job as well as my Milwaukee Fuel 12v drill would have done. Biggest downside of my Skil 12v stuff is its batteries won't power my Milwaukee heated jackets. And my M12 batteries won't power a couple M18 tools I have. It may not matter to you, but to some of us, being in a lot of battery lines is a headache at times. 4 is more than I'd like.

I agree. However, have you seen the price hike on the links you mentioned? Crazy

Edit: I just realized this was the 12V, I have the 20V.
Oh for sure. I have a brushed Craftsman 12V drill that I use a few times a month for smaller projects, and it's a perfect alternative to having to use a screwdriver.
