PS31-2A 12V Max 3/8 Inch Drill/Driver Kit with (2) 2 Ah Batteries and Charger, Variable Speed

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.

This was my first experience using a drill/driver. It is amazing. Easy to use. Lightweight. The only thing I wish it had was a magnetic tip. I keep dropping the screws haha. I also bought the accessory kit. Would recommend. I can't wait to see what I can do with this.

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..

This replaced a $30 drill from ikea that broke before I even had a chance to charge the battery. This is an amazing set with two replaceable batteries and much more powerful drill for just a little bit more! I’ve had it for around 6 months now, and moved into a new apartment and used to attach new handles on kitchen cabinets, swap out multiple light switches and fixtures, put together some flat pack furniture, install shelves in my wardrobe, put up roller shades for my windows and other small projects around the apartment. It’s surprised me how often I’ve actually used it! The light is really useful for illuminating where you’re screwing, and I find it comfortable to hold. I’ve only used for very lightweight tasks (drilling/screwing into drywall, studs, and a couple times metal) but has met every task with ease. The carrying case has quite a lot of extra room. I use it to also store a small set of drill bits, a level, some pencils, and a manual screwdriver- and even with all that extra stuff it everything fits well. My only regret is buying the cheaper ikea drill in the first place and not buying this first off.

Fantastic drill/screwdriver! I want to address some of the negative reviews…. 1. Hard to remove battery. No. Quite simple actually. Squeeze the finger grip spots and slide out. It is firmly planted but I’m a 53 year old woman with small hands and severe arthritis and I can do it just fine. 2. Wobble. It can be a bit finicky about how the bits are secured. If it wobbles then just loosen and reseat it. 3. Reliability. My husband has one at work and loves it enough that we got the exact same one to replace mine at home. 4. Batteries came about 80% charged. Zero issues with reaching full charge. Make sure the battery is fully seated in the charger and that it’s blinking.

I currently have an 18v Dewalt XRP and it is a fantastic drill - super powerful, great battery life and it's about 6 years old. Still works like the day I bought it. I'm a DIYer and have used it regularly. I've recently begun to make furniture and have discovered that I needed a backup or replacement drill that was considerably smaller. I'd like very much to pick up a Festool T12, but I can't afford it. Anyway, on a whim, I bought this Bosch PS31-2A because it was such a great deal. I have a Bosch jigsaw and it's great. I also know of a few people who have other Bosch drills and have not heard complaints. However, I agree with other reviews of this tool: 1. The chuck woobles - at least a 1/16" 2. The chuck itself is slick, it should be either more "rubbery" or not as tapered. 3. Battery life is OK The good points: 1. Compact size 2. Battery indicator level 3. LED light 4. Good soft carrying case 5. Decent power for its size 6. 30 minute charge 7. Glad I didn't pay full price I did a test of my own, I was a bit skeptical about its overall performance for my needs. I took a 2x4 of red oak and some 3" screws and wanted to see what it could handle. I drilled 5 screws without pre-drilling and about 25 with pilot holes through the 2" side before the battery died (I buried them in about 1/8"). The battery was warm and the motor was OK. I took the second battery and drilled about 5 holes at 1/16" thinking that the chuck wobble would cause me trouble by drilling a wider hole. If it did, I couldn't notice. Then I drilled out 25 more holes for screws and screwed them in, also about an 1/8" below the surface. After that I drilled out four 3/8" holes on the 4" side before the battery died. At this point, the battery was warm and the motor was warm too. For my usage, I think the test was rugged enough. Most of my projects will use plywood and 1" to 2" screws. The battery will likely last long enough for the time I have to work that day. If not, the second one will come in handy while I recharge the first. It's definitely going to be easier to take to someone's house to work on repairs or basic installations. Overall, this is a good drill.

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 Amazon 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 Amazon never noticed the difference. I can only blame myself for not paying enough attention. Lesson learned! Update - I just contacted Amazon customer service and they solved my problem. Nobody else has the level of customer service that Amazon has.

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!

C’est un outil très pratique. Il est très fort et les batteries sont de longue durées.

lo ocupo de manera ocasional para armar muebles, y esta muy practico por el tamaño, el maletin es muy estetico, lo recomiendo

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
