Bosch Professional 18V System Cordless Combo Kit: Combi Drill GSB 18V-21 + Impact Driver GDR 18V-160 (incl. 2x 2.0Ah GBA 18V batteries, AL 1820 CV charger, L-BOXX 136)

I bought these, as my old Green Bosch Drill has sadly lasted beyond its years. the battery in it rigged with LiPo's from a Radio Control Car so its time for a new one. I had a Decking Project to do so the combination of the batteries the charger, along with one drill/screwdriver and impact seemed the job for me. I had some 6 x 70mm Coach screws that I was going to use to build the decking frame with and the impact rattled them in with little or no hesitation, though I did buy the wrong coach screws at first which were 10 x 70mm and it didn't seem to have much problem with them either. The walls of my house are not brick but double-hard concrete. Using the Drill-Driver on hammer action seemed to have no issue with drilling the wall at all. Using the Impact to screw down the deck boards the 2Ah battery that came with the drill appeared to give up after about 200 screws, and perhaps about 40-50 coach screws, so I was quite happy with the battery life. I think a 5Ah battery will be a purchase if I have more projects to do, but the 2Ah supplied seemed to have enough grunt. The included PZ2 bit that came with it, didn't fair too well, with it stripping a number of deck screws and then mangling its own end to bits along with the screws. After this project its going to need replacement. Though, in fairness, it was also used to remove a ton of screws in the old deck as well, not a total disaster. The included L-BOXX system is a good idea, if you have signed up to the Bosch 18V system then you may as well keep everything tidy with the L-BOXX too. This is the first tool in the Bosch Pro 18v system that I have bought - you really have to target a system that uses the same battery, it makes the setup much more useful. Overall Solid tools what you expect from Bosch.

I didn't realise that the Darwin effect has eventually after 25 years of DIY taken effect in my workshop. The only tools that seem to last and stay effective. I had the Hammer / Drill version of this model (which is still going strong 10years later) and wanted to have a separate tool dedicated for screws so I don't have to change bits all the time and also for working on the car. I steered away from the next version up (impact gun) as this is really for wheel nuts and heavy commercial work such as Scaffolding etc and I wanted this to be a versatile tool in the workshop. I bought the Bare version without the battery as I all ready have a spare with my other unit and the charging is so quick that I cant really justify needing more than two batteries. When I opened the box I wondered if I had made the wrong decision, however I am please to say definatly havnet as this has been well used over the last few weeks and I am growing to really like its more compact size and power. So far I have used it to swap the wheels round on our Van (so much quicker and easier) I know it wont do them up to Spec however 160nm will do initially then they need to be properly Torqued up with a calibrated wrench, so no real issue. Around the house and workshop the screws go in so much easier and having the other bosch battery drill for pilot holes etc makes life much more efficient. No regrets.. :-)

I was torn as to which drill combo to buy. I believe I’ve made a great decision here. The drill had everything I need, including a hammer function. It’s really precise for drilling and driving into nearly every surface - in a few weeks of ownership the only surface I haven’t tried is concrete. The impact driver in particular has impressed, making various outdoor jobs driving long screws into wood an absolute breeze - its save me hours. The battery life of both units is great... have been using them every few days for a few weeks now and only just needed a recharge. The lights on both units are very helpful, especially indoors when the power (and therefore lights) are off. Really happy.

I had wanted an impact driver, the bare pack seemed good value and I had several Bosch batteries & chargers already for other tools. However I did not realise that this item has the new PBA 18V Bosch Battery not the older GBA 18V batteries and chargers I had. The online store accepted my return and refunded without delay. That was appreciated, given that it was my lack of produce knowledge that caused the incorrect order. Be aware of the new PBA battery!

Bought these as a reasonably heavy diy user (rather than a professional user). Have used them a lot of the last couple of years while renovating a house and building a deck and garden furniture. So far very happy with the tools - they are significantly better than consumer grade tools). Impact driver works as expected. Combi is great, loads of settings that do actually make a noticable difference (unlike the consumer grade ones) and really decently powerful. Battery life is good, charging cycle is very quick. Would still consider a third battery if you'll be using both at once. My only major complaint is that the charger broke within 6 months (just at the start of a big job...). This was very annoying. Note that the better charger was cheaper than the direct replacement.

The men amongst you please tell me what I’ve done wrong? I bought this for my husband of 24 years and he said it was brilliant, he loves a bit of diy and is handy and the last drill he has was a bosch one but the green ones, I thought I’d treat the old man to the professional range, stroke his ego for a bit . Anyway he loved the drill, but apparently not me, he left a few months later and took the drill with him! So if you’re a woman, and want your bloke to leave, buy the drill, if your a man and want a new drill, you treat yourself, but treat your mrs to something nice too. I’m not bitter at all, just a drillless manless gal 🤣 If you know scousemouse tell him I said hi.

Kraftvoll, zuverlässig auch bei mehr Gebrauch. Ich bin mit all meinen Bosch blau Geräten sehr zufrieden, aber dieser Schrauber hat mir noch keine Grenze gezeigt. Vielleicht tut er das niemals. Immer wieder.

Bonjour, Électricien de métier, j’apprécie au quotidien la puissance et l’efficacité de cette visseuse. En plus, petite et bonne ergonomie. Je recommande.
