Key Features of Bosch Professional 18v Drills

• Brushless motors: Found on models such as the GSB 18V-45, GSB 18V-55 and GSR 18V-55. They run efficiently, which helps extend runtime and motor life on long site days.
• Combi hammer action: GSB models switch between drilling, driving and hammer drilling, so one tool handles timber, metal and brick.
• SDS Plus and SDS Max chucks: GBH models hold bits securely and transfer impact energy directly, making drilling in concrete and masonry faster.
• Connect Ready: The GSR 18V-11 is Connect Ready, so it can work with Bosch's tool connectivity.
• Dust extraction: The GDE 18V-12 integrated extractor is designed for the GBH 18V-22 SDS Plus drill, capturing dust at the point of drilling overhead or indoors.
• Shared 18v batteries: Batteries and chargers work across Bosch's 18v system, so you can move power between tools. Chargers run from standard 240v UK mains.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a GSR and a GSB drill?

A GSR is a drill driver for drilling and screwdriving in timber, metal and plastics. A GSB is a combi drill with an added hammer function, so it can also drill into brick and masonry.

When do I need an SDS drill instead of a combi drill?

Choose an SDS GBH drill if you regularly drill into concrete or masonry. SDS Plus suits everyday holes, while SDS Max, as on the GBH 18V-36 C BITURBO, suits larger diameters and heavier work.

Are brushless Bosch drills worth choosing?

For frequent use, yes. Brushless motors run more efficiently, helping extend battery runtime and motor life compared with brushed alternatives. Occasional users may find a brushed model like the GSB 18V-21 perfectly adequate.

Can I use one battery across different Bosch 18v tools?

Yes, Bosch Professional 18v batteries are designed to work across the 18v system. If you already own compatible batteries, the bare-tool versions of these drills can be a cost-effective choice, available from Tooled-Up.com.
