Assessment scenario: Bosch PS31N bare-tool drill/driver
Assessment scenario: a Bosch 12V Max owner has or plans to source a current-compatible battery and charger, wants a tool-only 3/8-in drill/driver and is comparing the PS31N with other bare-tool Bosch packages. Bosch lists one PS31 drill and two bits; battery and charger are separate.
Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- Bosch’s exact U.S. page identifies PS31N as a bare-tool 12V Max 3/8-in drill/driver; its written Includes line names one PS31 drill and two bits.
- The linked PS31 manual documents drilling and screwdriving, two speed ranges and material-specific maximum capacities; Bosch publishes a 7-in head and 1.8-lb tool-only weight. These are manufacturer claims, not test results.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- No battery or charger is included. The linked July 2021 compatibility sheet gives PS31-family examples but directs buyers to Bosch for current compatibility.
- The 3/8-in chuck is below the 1/2-in shank threshold; no hammer-drilling mode is documented; the stated 7-in head is above the site’s inclusive 6-in short-head cutoff.
- The exact page does not name a brushless motor, list a bag/case in the Includes line, or establish current seller stock, condition, runtime or independent performance.
Check these before ordering
- Confirm the exact PS31N suffix and that the seller’s carton matches the bare-tool package rather than the PS31-2A battery-included kit.
- Check the current Bosch compatibility information and the exact labels on any separate 12V battery and charger; do not infer fit from voltage alone or rely on the dated 2021 sheet as current by itself.
- Match the 3/8-in shank limit and material-specific manual capacities to the actual bit and workpiece; account for battery, chuck, bit, hand and approach space beyond the stated 7-in head.
