Can confirm it does indeed come with a hard case. Purchased today.

Thought I would just post this to satisfy others.

You need to get out more and not believe everything you read on internet websites. Go to Wickes and look at the drill I mentioned. READ the instructions and you will see the charge time is 30 minutes or do you wish to call me a liar. You need to get hard facts before you start accusing. In fact if you look at the advert from Wickes you posted you will see it says it's a CORDED drill. My my, I guess you missed that. No doubt you will be telling everyone they should buy Panasonic as it's one of the best brand names to buy yet all their cheaper stuff isn't made by them at all including their low priced tv's. Who do you think makes some of the Bosch range. You would be surprised in the current market how many brand name manufacturers are having their products made in the far east or Turkey in order to be competitive at all levels. You may want to take the P out of my tag name but I do my research and if you did yours properly you would know that what I wrote about the drill I purchased was based on fact after purchasing which looks very similar to some top brand ones out there. Anyway enjoy your 3 hour wait until the next full charge, as for me mine is nearly ready to go again in the time it has taken to write this, oh and did I mention I can take the battery out, put in a spare and carry on. Oh no I didn't I.

For anyone else who wants to chip in, I did actually mention that the Bosch drill offered good value, however my preference was to buy the Wickes one which I am highly delighted with. This is my opinion which I am fully entitled to but people like Crazyhead would appear that there is only one opinion and that is his.

U must like to read grown men squabbling over nonsense??

I can echo what Comatosesheep has said
The case is very good quality and as you would expect from Bosch, plenty of little extra compartments for spare drill bits and the odd pack of screws too..
The drill is surprisingly powerful for its size and I have just finished drilling 4 holes in Tiles and masonry for my bathroom towel holder, for information it went through it just as quick as my 14.4v drill did, infact I had a lot more feel with the Bosch as it is way lighter than my existing drill, I can see my old one being put at the back of the cupboard now as the variable feel from the trigger is also much nicer on this Bosch
Loving the drillbit set too and very good quality bits, nice touch is the 7mm and 8mm mini-sockets included, you'd be surprised how many socket sets leave these sizes out now, Pozi-drive and Torx bits are also a nice addition..Well worth the £39.99 all day long!

Just so everyone knows, the drill arrived today after being ordered online and yes it does come in a hard case, a very good quality one too. given the drill a quick test and it seems really good for the money, very impressive so far

Even worse. 3 hour charging time and you can't swap batteries. No thanks.

Sounds like u need to get a life crazy legs

Yep plenty of dreamers and jokers on here, I always catch em out though!
Not such a smartguy after all eh, comes on the thread, slates a branded hammer drill with a drill bit set deal, and sings the praises of a drill driver "which is a Challenge drill cheap brand with Wickes branding on it" they bought thats not even in the same ballpark..
The Bosch has a 1.5ah battery, the challenge brand has a 1.3ah, The Bosch has a 3 hour charge time and the challenge has 5 hours, the challenge is less powerful and doesn't even have a hammer action either, the Bosch also has the Syneon chip, the Challenge would be lucky if it had a portion of chips..
The guy then lies telling everyone his challenge drill has a 20minute charge time..
He also goes on to say he fits signs for a living..Really! wouldn't want to be his customer then..
All credibility gone and a liar to boot!!!
He's also gone on various websites and lied on the reviews pages of this drill with the same drivel...Unbelievable!!!!

Did you just walk into the store and buy, or did you buy online with CaC?

I have drilled many engineering bricks in my time and if you have the right drill and the right bit, even a low powered drill will go into it quite easily, only inexperienced people have trouble, its all about technique not brute force which you amateurs tend to use!

Nice 3-5 hour charge time by the way..Ha ha 20 mins indeed! :laughing:

Perhaps you should have asked does it come in a hard case or does it come in a canvas one such as Ryobi. Your question implied it just came loose. You need to ask the right question to get the right answer and this drill is small enough to go in any man-size toolbox anyway. Try drilling an engineering brick and then you may just realise how inexperienced you are if you think a 10.8v drill for 40 quid is going to make an impression let alone a hole. And just to add I put signs up for a living, like on brick walls, without electricity !!! Had a good deal of hammer drills and with these small drills on a brick wall all its going to do is rattle the drill bit loose but at least it has a nice case.

It will however be ideal for light drilling and be an excellent screwdriver. The only downside is you will need two for longer projects because by the time it's gone flat and it's charged up again it will be nearly time to knock off. Fine for small occasional jobs but 3 hours charge in today's world is just no good and that's why they are on offer.

Plenty of drills out there just come in a canvass case not a hard case, I can see 2 just on the B&Q website alone that come in a soft case!
As for your hammer comment..You have just shown how inexperienced you are!

Don't think the drill comes with its own case, nothing on the site about a case
Hate having drills loose in toolboxes!

Bought two, hot :sunglasses:

Can confirm it does indeed come with a hard case. Purchased today.

You want to link to that info as I can find nothing on any review about hard case for this drill model!

Make sure it has the 2.0 ah battery, I bought one with the 1.3 ah and was disappointed in the short life span, paid another £30 for a 2.0 ah which is OK.

Decent deal, ordered one as i'm moving house next week and it'll be good for odd jobs compared to my bulky mains powered draper drill

Good deal!!

29.2 x 25.8 x 10 cm

Does anyone know the length and height of the drill?

From Amazon I got:


Which seems a bit too big from the pictures, can anyone confirm?

It's not the one with the removable battery so not hot for me. It's a good price with the accessory kit but I looked at this at Christmas and bought the wickes one instead which comes with a Samsung battery and 20 minute charge for £34.99

Good price, I think I'll pick one up

Good price i have the previous version with 1hr charge, this one's a 3hr charge its a very capable compact drill now without the charger and better battery.

??????.
