Awesome hammer drill
Rating: 5
Used with Bosch 4 1/2” hammer bit and had no difficulties drilling holes in basement concrete walls and attaching 2x4’s with Tapcon screws. Easy to load and use. Avoided cheaper hammer drills where reviewers noted burnout issues after just a few holes. Very glad I did. Fifteen holes so far and drill and bit still working smoothly.

Easy Drill/Hammer
Rating: 5
Great tool. Will be great to use on a couple more projects I have. Easy to use and not so heavy or loud as some I've seen. Drill and Hammer action works great...put in sump pump - great tool.

Loved the Rotary hammer.

It’s amazing! Drilled through 4” of concrete in less than 15 seconds.

This tool earns its name (bulldog)
Rating: 5
I bought it a week ago to remodel a basement bathroom floor (ceramic tiles) under which the heating cable went bezerk. It ate through the tiles (and when I learned the gentle way: taking them in one piece) and the wire and the auto-levelling concrete in less than a day (80 sq-ft). Works like a charm. I was surprised by the low level of dirt it created.

I used this rotohammer to remove mortar from a river rock patio and long walkway. Spent three days chipping tons of cement off of rocks and braking up the patio. Great machine for the $! Light and easy to use and maneuver. Basically a pro by the time we were done with that project and met all my expectations.

fast and easy
Rating: 5
Needed something to remove tile and mortar from the floor. Hammer and chisel was slow and involved lots of labor. I'm getting up in years and don't care for working on my knees for long periods. What took three hours to do with the chisel took about 30 min. to do with the rotory hammer.

Makes drilling holes in cement a breeze.
Rating: 5
I had 130 holes to drill to anchor large storage racks in a warehouse. My old hammer drill had trouble drilling the holes and went through many bits to get 20 holes done before dying. This hammer drill with an SDS drill bit for either 3/8" or 1/2" holes was recommended to me. I could not believe how easy it drilled the holes. I only needed 1 of each size bit to get the job done. It drills the holes effortlessly.

Wider choice of bits
Rating: 4
Have used Bosch tools over40 years in the commercial heavy construction industry. This one is not as heavy as past tools, to me means possible lack of performance and penetration. Need a larger choice of bits, can't find the "bush" hammer bit I used. The "SDS" is possibly great, I prefer the old ones. But, it is still a Bosch and I am a dedicated user of Bosch tools. Thank you for all the years.

perfect for home projects
Rating: 4
Ideal tool to have on a HVAC truck for drilling thru concrete walls or basement floors. SDS Plus saves me time spent on the job and i do not have to worry about burning thru several batteries on my cordless. I purchased this on the recommendation of several of my HVAC colleges and happy to use it daily

GREAT DRILL/GREAT PRICE/GOOD VALUE

So far I am pleased with this unit. Fairly compact for an 18V. Love the variable speed. For my needs (homeowner/DIY) I am certain it will suffice. I would recommend.

Great choice

Amazing tool. I am very statisfied. It has enough power and quiter sound. The 2.0A battery is enough for hours of use. I dirlled almost 300 screws without charging again.

Nice little drill
Rating: 5
Standard (non-brushless) model, has a little burnt smell to it when running, but to be expected. Features and solid and unit is a good weight.

GSR18V-190B22 18 V Compact 1/2 In. Drill/Driver
Rating: 5
I was building a large new deck and needed a replacement drill for my Dewalt 20v cordless drill - the (2) batteries die quickly right from the time it was purchased and the drill has limited power. It is pretty close to being useless. Thought I would try the Bosch drill and it was the best thing I could have done. The drill has more than enough power and the batteries have been exceptional. Great purchase!

Perfect compact drill
Rating: 5
I now have two of these drills. Hands down a very good tool. Very tough, lots of torque to drive in 3" deck screws...light weight...only thing missing is a place to store a driver bit or 2...I epoxied a strong magnet on mine just above the LED light...problem solved...

Great gift
Rating: 5
This was an unexpected gift to replace my old Dewalt portable. I must say my initial findings are very positive. In particular I am impressed with how balanced this new gun is, it also feels lighter, and that combined with the balancing I am sure result in a very workable tool.
by Pepper on 2019-12-26T16:00:00

Well balanced
Rating: 5
The title does not just refer to it's uses as a drill and driver but the balance of the tool itself. I bought it to supplement another cordless drill with this Bosch primarily to drive screws. The great balance and center of gravity make it very easy to hold and makes keeping the alignment of the screws/bolts correct. The batteries are also very light and not just because they're only 1.5 ah but I've compared them to similar batteries.

Not Sure if I Bought a Faulty Tool
Rating: 3
I like it but it doesn't stay tight and the bit falls out. Not sure if I bought a faulty tool or if they are all like this.

It stopped working within 3 minutes.
Rating: 1
Charged the battery. It worked for 3 minutes, and then stopped. I'm returning it to the store. Considering this was a replacement for my last Bosch drill, which started sparking and smoking, I may be taking a break from Bosch for a while.

Fail
Rating: 1
I bought this new one as a backup/extra drill as I have been so pleased with my first one, which I bought about 6 years ago to replace one I had had for ten years. Just started to use it today. It is of no use. It stops drilling whenever there is very much torque demand. Is this a common problem? Frustrating as I have two drills and two ratchet drive tools all with same batteries.
