Bosch lists the GSR12V-300N in the US as a 12V Max EC Brushless 3/8-inch Drill/Driver sold without a battery or charger. The product page identifies the included tool as GSR12V-300 and describes two speeds and a keyless chuck. This guide introduces the names and documentation rather than reviewing tested performance. Bosch's spare-parts section shows identification number 3601JH8010 and asks owners to match the number on their tool. Use the linked GSR12V-300 manual and check the separate battery and charger instructions.
Battery platform
Bosch 12V Max lithium-ion; use model-specific battery/charger list
Controls and model distinctions
Two mechanical speed ranges, variable trigger and reversing/lock lever; 20 clutch settings plus drill position; keyless three-jaw chuck
Package identity
The GSR12V-300N listing is identified as bare tool. Bare tool still includes accessories; do not describe it as a kit with a battery.

A source check date records this research pass. It does not confirm that a manual is the newest possible revision, a tool is still in production, or a particular unit matches these documents.
The US product page links the 12/18 manual shown here. A separate 04/20 shared manual has differing capacity entries. Numerical drilling capacities are deliberately omitted rather than merged across revisions.

Keep the limits in view.
- No hands-on review or purchase recommendation
- Do not conflate GSR12V-300 with GSB12V-300, GSR12V-300HX, or Flexiclick variants
- Do not infer battery and charger compatibility from voltage branding alone
- Do not merge differing specifications from the 2018 product-linked manual and the 2020 shared manual
- No numerical drilling capacity, runtime, or lifespan claim is supplied
- Not GSB12V-300, GSR12V-300HX, or Flexiclick.
- Keep 2018 product-linked manual separate from later manuals; do not merge capacity specifications.
- GB GSR 12V-35 uses service type 3601JH8000; no US equivalence asserted.
Read the instructions for the tool and any applicable battery or charger together. Routine owner care stays outside the housing; internal service belongs with the manufacturer or an authorized service provider.

Guides for this model
Explore controls, comparisons and documentation for this exact model.
- External care and service boundaries
Aim for a dry grip, unobstructed vents and clean controls. Cracks, binding and an unreliable switch need more than cleaning.
- Bosch: decode the full model
Consider the 300 for tight spaces and an existing 12V setup, the 400 for ordinary drilling on 18V, and the 975C when a suitable job needs hammer mode.
- Match the right manual
Record model, Type/service identifier, market and document revision separately. Download availability today does not automatically establish applicability to your unit.
- Drill, drive or hammer?
3403-20 has drilling and clutch driving; 3404-20 adds hammer drilling. Mode, mechanical gear and trigger speed are separate settings.
- Bosch kit contents
GSR18V-400B12 includes one BAT612 2 Ah battery and a charger; GSR12V-300N and GSB18V-975CN exclude both.
- Bosch model and Type
Record the model and ten-character identifier from the actual label; a sales suffix describes a package, not a verified parts match.
- GSR12V-300 setup
Hand-clamp the sound shank with the battery removed, then check alignment. Trial screwdriving on a low numbered clutch; the drill symbol is not fine torque control. Confirm capacity before large accessories.
- 300 versus 400
Consider the 300 with suitable 12V equipment and smaller-shank accessories; consider the 400 for an approved larger shank or an existing compatible 18V setup.

Cover identifies GSR12V-300 despite stale PDF title metadata. Verified capacity entries on printed page8 are compared only against shared manual2610056578 page10 to expose a version conflict; not capacity permission.
