Bosch Professional GBH 18V-26 D Cordless Rotary Hammer, Body Only

The Bosch Professional 18V Cordless Rotary Hammer is a battery-powered drill intended for demanding construction, renovation and installation work. It runs on an 18 V lithium-ion battery platform, so battery compatibility is a key purchase consideration. Its 2.5 J impact energy supports hammer drilling in concrete, masonry and other hard materials. Maximum drilling diameters are 30 mm in wood, 13 mm in steel and 26 mm in concrete. The optimum concrete drilling range is 8–16 mm.

At 2.6 kg, the drill has a D-handle and an auxiliary handle for two-handed positioning. The main grip area has a soft-grip finish. Its SDS-plus chuck accepts compatible drill bits and chisels, which can be changed via the SDS system. Adjustable speed gives control over operating pace, and the integrated LED illuminates poorly lit work areas. This body-only package includes neither an 18 V battery nor a charger, so both must be purchased separately. No carrying case is supplied.

• Maximum impact rate of 4,350 blows per minute.
• Maximum no-load speed of 890 RPM.
• Brushless motor reduces reliance on wear-prone carbon brushes.
• KickBack Control helps reduce sudden rotational movement if the bit jams.
• Overload clutch helps protect the drill under heavy load.
• Reverse function changes the direction of rotation.
• Included depth gauge supports repeatable drilling depths.
