BOSCH GBH 18V-24 C Professional Rotary Hammer, SDS Plus, Solo

The BOSCH GBH 18V-24 C Professional 18V SDS Plus Rotary Hammer, Solo is a cordless rotary hammer for professional drilling and chiselling work. It runs on an 18V battery system rather than mains power. Its primary role is drilling and hammer drilling in masonry, with conventional drilling supported in wood and steel. Maximum drilling diameter is 30 mm in wood, 13 mm in steel, and 24 mm in concrete. Stone drilling capacity is rated at up to 14 mm.

At 2.9 kg, the drill's weight is worth considering during prolonged or overhead drilling. The SDS Plus chuck accepts matching drilling and chiselling accessories. Adjustable speed spans 0 to 980 rpm, allowing the rotation rate to be reduced for more controlled starts. A built-in light illuminates the immediate work area. The battery interface uses lithium-ion packs and is compatible with Bosch Professional 18V and AMPShare batteries. This solo configuration includes neither a battery nor a charger, so an existing compatible pack and charging setup are required. A carrying case is included for storage and transport.
