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.
We really love the carry bag it comes in, to keep things together. We keep it in our camper for raising/lowering the stabilizers, as well as chores in the camper. I'm also impressed how infrequently I have to charge it while it stays in the camper between trips for months on end. Yet it always has a charge when we need 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.

très légère
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.
