Drill Battery

A scam, pure and simple – This company claims to be Australian, but the address on their website keeps changing. They are based in China using a number of Australian registered ABNs. They sell batteries under Drill Battery and also Cool Car Spare Parts, both registered to Chinese names. I ordered a simple small drill battery that never arrived. The seller lied a number… Read more

of times about delivery times, claiming there was a delay in Hong Kong even though they claim to sell from Sydney. (the same website also appears in the UK with many complaints) I finally got my refund from PayPal, but have since had the cheeky buggers try and scam me into re-paying for the product claiming that it was "successfully delivered, they are a small Australian company and I should have a heart and help them out with re-payment". They attached a photo of someone putting a battery into a letter box, but it wasn't my letter box. Good on them for trying to scam me a second time, got to give it to them for effort. If you work hard for your money, don't give it to these grubby ...

Brand stickers are fake. Items are generic Chinese copies which you can get cheaper on AliExpress – I paid $80 for a WORX fast charger.

Website shows branded batteries, but they ship generic rubbish batteries – Their website clearly shows branded batteries, but they shipped a generic battery that I can't use as I have to have certified equipment at the job site. No response when requesting to return. I paid with PayPal, so I raised a case for a refund.

Rubbish generic battery followed by poor service – Brought a generic battery for my Bosch equipment from Drill Battery and lasted 3 uses. Arranged to send back using their convoluted return system. Australia Post lost the return item as I don't think Australia Post can cope with returns going to a P.O. Box. There is no customer phone number and once Australia Post lost it, there was no further… Read more

follow up. Customer service is very poor coupled by a rubbish product. Suggest you look else were.

drill.

Negatives. The drill, hammer, screw adjusting ring is too easily adjusted accidently in normal use. As per most of these drills, the chuck leave a LOT to be desired. Not sure wether the extra cost for brushless is warranted as I have never had to replace brushes in other brands. Supposed to run cooler. Heavy.
