Bosch GBH36V-EC 36V Li-ion Compact Brushless SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill
We are currently unable to show all models available.
The GBH 36V-LI Compact Professional is the first professional Bosch Power Tool to be driven by a brushless EC (electronically commutated) motor. This technology results in a low abrasive and maintenance free motor that makes carbon brushes unnecessary. Its higher degree of efficiency (80-90 per cent) compared to a standard DC-Motor (70 per cent) makes the GBH 36 V-LI Compact Professional one of the enhanced cordless SDS hammers in the world.

26th September 2020Hi Bought this a while ago and I use it pretty much every day. It's cheap to buy and it's got so much power behind it. I can't recommend it enough.

10th June 2020Amazing. 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

28th February 2020Hands down, the best brill I've owned. More powerful than my 110v bosch and lasts along time in between charges. If you need to use a hammer drill daily this is the one to get.

9th June 2019On 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

23rd February 2019What 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.

7th December 2017This 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.

30th November 2016Good 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.

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