does this come with the appropriate tool to gain access to the battery?

My package came with Tri-wing screw driver to unscrew the battery. Other than that, you need regular screw driver to unscrew the bottom of the cover.

Mine came with a 4-point screwdriver. You will also need a small tri-point screwdriver for the procedure.

No, I have one with 2 batteries (bought an additional one) - great tool! I love it.

Not sure about the case for the tool but I do know that they sell a charger with battery(s). I usually buy batteries in the two-pack.

To access, remove the face plate where the On/Off switch is located with a small Phillips head screwdriver. Pull out the battery compartment

Yes...for some reason I had a tough time getting one but I can confirm that it does actually exist. I bought the whole kit (including to batteries and a charger) so it may be even more difficult to find the tool only.

Hey Susan, you'll see on the side in-between the foam part and the hardshell a point that will fit a flat tip screw driver. As you place the screw driver in the space, twist it lightly and the foam part will separate and you can access the batteries from there.

Don, sorry forgot to say I didn't have to put in battery, and I've looked to see if any opening for one, I don't see it. So I assume just usb is sufficient. Hope that helps.

You have probably figured this out but it does have a battery. Though it is hard to get at.

Mine came with a battery and a charger. Superior tool. Well worth the price.

I bought the bare tool that does not have batteries or a charger. I have plenty of batteries and chargers. It is a nice tool as I like feel and it is compact. It gets a lot of recognition for being able to stand upright on the battery. That is kind of a nice feature but not that big of a deal for me as I end up knocking it over anyway.

A paper clip or tool that will fit in the small hole will work but must be long enough--at least 1/2" or so. One must push very hard to depress the plastic clip inside. I used a large paper clip that I bent one side of out straight but it was hurting my hand badly so I gripped it with pliers to enable me to use enough force. To make it even more difficult. one needs to pull out the small battery tray by the tab simultaneous with pushing VERY hard with the paper clip or other small gauge tool. Really lousy design that will probably cause many to give up and throw the thing in the trash, but it is possible to do.

Does it really matter? because if you do need to replace the battery, then you will do it anyway. Simply unscrew the side of the tool and place new battery in.

At the bottom of the drill, just above the battery, there are the standard bits, philips and a flat head. There is a small clip that holds them there. That was how mine came at least. You can zoom in on the picture and see it

No, there are screws to connect to your battery. You may find some with those clips that plug into these ends.

No, the bare tool does not include either the battery or the charger. Those items must be purchased separately.

A very small screw driver can open the bottom port where the batteries are. However, it's a hobby size screwdriver and not common. Also, I don't think it's easy to know that the battery is that accessible behind the latch.

No. I ended up buying this and it had all the necessary tools: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MKGRQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
