Had mine for several years now and excellent drill that will get through a lot of work. Drills 6mm holes for fun and will comfortably drill 22mm holes. Battery life is excellent. Only downside would be the handle in front of the battery that needs to be moved to change the battery but wouldn’t put me off purchasing

If your looking for a good sds that’s going to last you I would recommend this as this is strong and powerful, good for when your drilling small holes all day and even when your drilling through a thick wall it still gets the job done

Great bit of kit. I’ve used this drill for the last six months and have nothing but praise for it. The battery lasts well as it blasts through brick and block.
Not too heavy when being used above head height either.

Amazing. Best SDS I’ve used by far and at half the price of Milwaukee. Eats through stone walls like nothing.

Only issue is no hammer only function, I get it might be overkill for this lightweight 36v and push the wall over but would be a good feature

Just the job, excellent quality and built to last. Have had mine a while and it certainly has a hard life! Batteries charge quickly and last long - drill is half the weight of my last sds which is great as I do a lot of heights work off of ladders its comfortable to use and has plenty of power - 100% recommended

On my second now, originally brought the first as a spare when I sent the big 36v in for repair. It hits harder and faster than the big brother. 2 years drilling up to 35mm holes no bother. Great drill for £250

What a drill, the power is just right and with the right drill bits goes through concrete and brick like a knife through butter. The 36v batteries are robust and keep going, had mine now for over 4 years and the only thing that's broke is the charger! The drill itself is easy to handle even one handed up a ladder, the hammer mode and rotary only mode make it versatile for all jobs. Will never change to any other hammer drill after having this one.

This cordless sds from Bosch is a great bit of kit. It has all the power you need for a cordless sds but is hassle free with no cables trailing in your wake as you punch through brick, block or concrete. Its great value for money although the 36v batteries can be higher priced than youd expect if buying seperately. This is obviously due to the fact its a 36v battery though. For a decent ah you pay more.

All in all a great bit of gear i have every faith in.

Good build quality, reliable, and pretty powerful.
Make sure you get the bigger Ah battery with your drill and a spare!! Goes through walls with a 25,30mm bit no problem.
Quite a big drill to lug around though if your just using for light fixing. There are lighter models on the market that would do those jobs.

Asked on 10th June 2020 by Ewelectrics

Are Bosch expanding the 36v range beyond the SDS and GSB drills? Would love an overkill grinder personally.
