Is It 18 or Isn't It a 48volt Impact Cordless Drill

Listings of the bla bla Kit 48V CORDLESS DRILL + 2 BATTERY HEAVY DUTY IMPACT DRIVER BRUSHLESS HAMMER CASE KIT.  I bought, I expected, I not get.  What I got was something that looks like all the images and video clips, but not with the sellers item's specifications. Turns out that what I got was about an 18 volt "unbranded drill machine kit of sorts" that's useless as an "Impact Drill" or isn't it ?, a "Brushless Hammer" (new to me).  The only part of the so called Drill kit that was recognizable in terms of viewing "Specs" is stated on the "Battery Charger" (or is it ?) that shows voltage of [21 volt] and only weighs about [100grams].  If so I can "assume" then that the batteries to the kit form might be [18volt] each, or is it ?, something else assumably [17.4volt]. So, taken for granted by the seller, which I have, if I add those two(2) batteries voltages together [18+18] I get 36 volts, or is it ? about [35 volts], [17.4 + 17.4].  Either way, not 48volt as advertised with [2 x batteries at 48 volt each], yet remains listed on the website.  Clearly in need of addressing that this listing also others similarly is a "Buyer Be Aware" or is it? "Buyer Beware" listing.  Unfortunately, in my shopping experience here, most eBay seller's deliberately set about to confuse, or is it? not confusing enough that eBay permits images and details/specs of unbranded items and those listings that don't have a Manufacturer's Branding nor Warranty that customers are not being made aware of prior to purchase.  Either way, eBay and Seller's claim "Customer Satisfaction" isn't what they make buying out to be.  When the customer (me) declares receiving such purchase/s, or was it ? something else that wasn't really in the listing, or did I get something else instead of !! what was described ?.  Then, must put up with continuing arrogance from sellers who got my money already when I want resolve of such matters addressed. In this case with the now aware, unbranded [48 volt  HEAVY DUTY IMPACT DRIVER BRUSHLESS HAMMER CASE KIT], or is it ?.  In addition, there is NO Warranty Card issued inside the box.  Or is it  only the seller's 'so called type of an assumed warranty' that comes with, or isn't it ? with a warranty.  At the end of the day, I'm stuck with IT  OR ISN'T IT a 48 Volt Cordless Drill bla bla HEAVY DUTY IMPACT DRIVER BRUSHLESS HAMMER CASE KIT of sorts, & remain confused caused by the eCommerce industry ?.  I am interested the other buyer's thoughts on this realistic view of purchasing online no so blindly though without the feel of the item about to be purchased, and where exactly has it come from, or ? who is the original seller and game.

It is definitely not 48v it is 18.5v as I made a tester and tested it also I removed the 4 screws on the 48v stamped battery and each battery have a stamp on it 3.7v  testing each battery separately I got 4.1v on each battery testing that they are all good batteries 

They are deceiving the buyers by saying they are 48v and they are definitely not I cannot understand why ebay continues to allows it to continue with this false advertising 


It's good that you are a capable person and able to test these and yes, the seller is definitely deceiving the customers if what you say is true.

However, you have to remember that ebay has never seen these batteries. No one at ebay personally knows you or the seller and they would be unlikely to take your word for it that all of this seller's item descriptions are false. For all they know, maybe you got the one faulty item.

 

Ebay does have a money back guarantee so if you applied for it on the basis the items are not as described, you would probably get a refund. But they would be unlikely to ban the seller, especially if it is a fairly big volume seller where the majority of buyers seem happy enough.

 

It's not the same set of rules for Chinese sellers compared to Australian sellers either.

 

Unlike a lot of boardies here, I would not put the blame on a buyer for buying on ebay. The average casual buyer tends to take an ad at face value, they do not necessarily know how or where to check seller registration and the % of feedback can often look okay to them, especially when the ebay spiel itself claims it is one of ebay's top rated sellers.

 

All I can suggest to you is to be aware that it is not ebay selling any of these products, they don't stand behind any of the items. You are buying off a random seller and if that seller is in China, a lot of the electrical stuff & batteries etc are not likely to come up to Australian standards. They may be unsafe.

I am not saying nnever buy from China, but be suspicious & cautious in what you do buy.
