I’m interested in the GDS 300 ABR…and of course getting it at an affordable price. Most retailers in Australia have it over $300AUD however online vendors based in China & HK sell it around the $130 mark.
Pretty much all my Bosch blue cordless drills are made in Malaysia however the pictures from Chinese vendors show a small Chinese manufacturers sticker on the drills handle with the Bosch logo and Chinese text. Also the serial number label has no “made in Malaysia” line, that line of text is replaced with Chinese text.
My question is, is the 300ABR made in China or are these fakes? The vendors only issue 1 year warrenty as opposed to the usual 6 year for the Blue Professional range.
I would think they are fake because I have seen this with other tool brands and the warranty makes me wonder.
