Bosch GSB 18-2 RE 06011A2190 hammer drill

Efficiency and safety when working with hard materials

The GSB 18-2 RE impact drill is a tool designed to meet the demands of both fast drilling in wood and difficult work in concrete or masonry. Thanks to a motor with a rated power of 800 W and a two-speed gearbox, the device offers the flexibility necessary for daily work. The first gear, with a speed of up to 740 rpm (up to 1100 rpm at no-load), delivers high torque (up to 24 Nm), which is crucial when drilling large holes or driving screws. The second gear allows for speeds of up to 3000 rpm, shortening working time with lighter materials. The impact rate reaches up to 48 000 per minute in the second gear, significantly accelerating the drilling process in hard substrates.

User safety is a priority here, implemented through a mechanical "Anti-Rotation" safety clutch. In the event of a drill bit blockage or sudden stop, this mechanism prevents the tool from jerking violently in the operator's hands, protecting against injuries. Additionally, the rotating brush holder ensures identical performance for both right-handed and left-handed work – there are no compromises in power regardless of the direction of rotation.

Construction and ergonomics for professional applications

The durability of the device is guaranteed by a robust metal gear housing, which effectively protects the internal mechanisms from mechanical damage and dust. The keyed chuck with a clamping range from 1.5 to 13 mm allows for secure mounting of drill bits and bits. It is worth noting the spindle neck diameter of 43 mm – this is a standard EU norm that enables the mounting of the device in a drill stand without the need for additional adapters.

Work ergonomics have been refined thanks to a new handle with innovative mounting and a soft rubber pad (Softgrip). This solution ensures a secure grip even during prolonged use and reduces vibrations transmitted to the hand. The pre-adjustment speed control knob allows for precise adjustment of operating parameters to a specific material before drilling begins.

Scope of delivery and practical applications

In the set, you receive a complete package necessary to start work immediately:

• Depth stop (210 mm) – facilitates drilling holes of a constant depth, e.g., for wall plugs.
• Auxiliary handle – increases stability when drilling with large bits or using full impact.
• Carrying case – protects the tool and accessories during transport and facilitates storage on the construction site.
• Keyed chuck (13 mm) – ready to use immediately after unpacking.

The tool works perfectly as a universal mounting solution, allowing for drilling holes with a diameter of up to 16 mm in concrete and 18 mm in masonry and stone. For woodworking, the maximum hole diameter reaches 35 mm, and for steel materials, the tool handles bits up to 13 mm in thickness. Thanks to these parameters, the GSB 18-2 RE does not require tool changes when moving from woodworking to electrical or plumbing installations in masonry walls. It is a classic example of an "all-in-one" device that eliminates the need to own many different machines for various domestic and professional tasks.
