Bosch 12-Volt Max 3/8-Inch 2-Speed Drill/Driver Kit PS31-2A with 2 Lithium-Ion Batteries, 12V Charger and Carrying Case : desertcart.in: Home Improvement Review: Name is misleading - Great drill, small and powerful, but the 2A in the "PS31-2A" does not mean 2Ah batteries. I wrongly assumed that I was getting 2Ah batteries. If you read all the fine print here and on the Bosch site, they never mention the size or the part # of the battery in this kit and I believe that it is really part of their marketing plan. The batteries that come with this kit are BAT411 which are only 1.34Ah. If you want the 2Ah battery, the part # for that battery is BAT414. I really can't complain because I got a great drill at great price, but wanted to share my thoughts in case someone else is assuming the same as I did. Update - Confusing ... Home depot have the same PS31-2A on their site which comes with one 2Ah battery and Canadian Tire also has same part number, PS31-2A which comes with two 2Ah batteries. I guess it depends who sells it. Just be aware of which battery you are getting. Update - Dec 2016, I was just cleaning out old boxes and just noticed that the box does indeed have a sticker that shows 2.0 Ah batteries included, so my fault, I should have looked at box more closely and I could have returned the drill before 30 days. Too late now, but just wanna share in case you get the 1.3 Ah batteries like I did. The kit I bought was "USED" here on desertcart and what I can assume is that the person who returned it probably kept the 2.0 ah batteries and returned 1.3 ah batteries from another kit. Since all looked complete and clean, the employees at desertcart never noticed the difference. I can only blame myself for not paying enough attention. Lesson learned! Update - I just contacted desertcart customer service and they solved my problem. Nobody else has the level of customer service that desertcart has. Review: Well made set.. Drill, charger & 2 batteries for less than most drills with a single battery.. Have always had Dewalts, as an installer & wish I had found this terrific little drill sooner.. Only thing it needs is a belt clip & then it would be perfect.. It's well made & very strong in a small, light weight package..

Vale la pena para las personas que hacen trabajos rápidos, que no estén conectando cables y llaves para cambiar las brocas, es liviano y fuerte para diferentes actividades, es pijador y taladro para perforar madera metal y hasta concreto, todo con sus respectivas medidas de precaución, tiene un led que ilumina lo que se está perforando y tiene un indicador de carga del estado actual de la batería, excelente producto!

Best drill for around the house, home improvement, honestly, I can't think of anywhere this won't get the job done except maybe a drilling through a thick piece of hardwood with a 3/4" auger bit - it might though, I've never tried it. Charger charges the batteries from dead flat to 100% in about 30 minutes, and the batteries last forever. I got this for my GF's Dad last year and he loves it. It absolutely SMOKES in every single category his old full sized Ryobi 18V drill - battery lasts WAY longer, it weights half as much, fits in your hand better, AND has more power. Small size means it can fit places other larger drills can't, it fits my hand perfectly, and is extremely well balanced. Can't say enough about this drill/driver; the only thing I can think of where you might not want it is for full on contractor duty but it might be just fine for that too, as I'm not a contractor. This kit I'm reviewing comes with two batteries so you'll never be without power, no matter how much drilling/driving you're doing. I'd love to find a con, but I can't. It even looks cool. Don't even bother with Ryobi, its crap - drop the extra cash and have this one for the next 10 years (while you had to buy 4 batteries for your Ryobi, @ $30 each), you'll be glad you did.

Ordered the drill from Amazon Prime as recommended by Amazon Australia. It came in a timely manner but is incompatible with Australian 240V power. The Amazon listing on the Australian website does not list its voltage requirements. The charger for the two 12V Lithium Ion batteries only works with 110V. It is not dual voltage. Disappointing. The return postage costs $66 with Australian Post. Amazon only covers $30 as a Prime Member. While it is costing me to return the item in terms of postage and hassle, I am still drillless. Amazon Australia needs to correct its website listing for this item. https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B003BEE2LU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
