Bosch UniversalImpact 18V Cordless Impact Drill, Solo

The Bosch UniversalImpact 18V Cordless Impact Drill, Solo is a battery-powered drill and screwdriver intended for home improvement, installation work and general DIY tasks. Its 18 V supply provides cordless operation without dependence on a mains lead. Maximum torque is rated at 34 N·m for hard applications, defining the drill's headline driving output. Maximum drilling diameter is 30 mm in wood, 10 mm in steel and 10 mm in concrete. This range combines conventional drilling and screwdriving with impact drilling for occasional masonry work.

The drill weighs 1.3 kg and has a pistol-grip body with a soft-grip handle. Its keyless chuck accepts bits up to 10 mm and permits changes by hand. A two-speed gearbox and adjustable speed control allow output to be matched to drilling or driving work. The built-in LED provides illumination in dim working areas. It uses removable lithium-ion batteries from the Bosch POWER FOR ALL 18V range. This Solo package contains no battery, charger or carrying case, so compatible power accessories must be sourced separately.
