Bosch UNIVERSALHAMMER P4A 18v Cordless SDS Drill
Part of the PowerForAll 18v Alliance, the Bosch UNIVERSALHAMMER 18V is a cordless SDS Plus rotary hammer drill which shares battery compatibility with tools from the Bosch 18v Home and Garden (Green) range, as well as other manufacturers who have joined the alliance.
The UNIVERSALHAMMER 18V has an SDS Plus chuck which can be used with standard SDS Plus drill bits and chisels, and when fitted with an appropriate chuck adaptor it can be used with a wide variety of additional drill bits and other accessories too. It has modes for rotary only drilling, rotary hammer drilling, and hammer only (chiselling) - along with a setting which enables flat chisels to be fixed at the optimum position before commencing work. Ideal for tougher jobs like hammer drilling into concrete, it has a compact and ergonomic design with an adjustable auxiliary handle and a decoupled rear handle which helps to minimise vibration. Additionally, a safety clutch helps to safeguard against injury in the event that a drill bit jams.

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
Bosch PowerForAll
The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing.
PowerForAll has many advantages not least the fact that once you have a tool with a few batteries then there is no need to buy the more expensive versions with battery & charger, you can just go ahead & buy the much cheaper no battery versions!
So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however.
As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable.
Important
You cannot use Bosch Pro (Blue) batteries in either 12v or 18v DIY (Green) products.
