Bosch GBH18v-26DK15 Cordless Hammer Drill

Bosch GBH18v-26DK15 Cordless Hammer Drill I have used other hammer drills but I was a bit skeptical about a battery operated version. With the advent of brushless motors and lithium ion batteries, some battery operated tools are more powerful than the corded forefathers. The tool comes with one 18Vdc lithium ion 4.0 Ah battery, a quick charger, a depth set gauge, a second handle, and a carry case. The Battery is an 18 Vdc Lithium Ion 4Ah battery which is a sizable charge but not overly lar...

What can I say, I'm incredibly impressed.

I have to say, I'm massively impressed with this rotary drill. I know from past experience that Bosch makes a great tool, but color me surprised even at that. As is pretty standard it comes with a hard case, charger, and one battery. The charger is fairly large so it will take up some real estate on your work station; however, the battery itself is rather small compared to others in this class of tool. In fact the battery is small enough you can put it in a cargo pocket if you are working long e...

Packs power & great features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a Handyman I have a huge array of tools since I’m a multi purpose handyman and Bosch is definitely a name I try to keep on hand. This is my first time experiencing The Bosch D-handle Bulldog Hammer Drill and I have to say I am very impressed with it. This drill packs a lot of punch and power. This Bosch drill is cordless and lightweight and delivers 1.9 Ft-Lbs of impact energy. I really like the side handle and how it can be held in a var...

Best Hammer Drill I've Owned !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this Bosch GBH18V- 26DK15 Hammer Drill. It's at least a good 10-12 seconds faster than my other corded hammer drill. I love the D shaped handle as it allows me to drill above, below, and at various angles sideways. I love that its cordless so cords and extension cords don't get in the way while I'm working. Comes in a nice molded plastic case for when it's not in use. Being in construction, I regularly use a hammer drill espec...

EXCELLENT!! Made a difficult job easy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a gazebo project that went smoothly with this tool. My husband said the rotary hammer felt comfortable in his hand with the soft, non slip handles even when using for longer periods of time. It performed flawlessly with the high torque motor. This Bosch Bulldog tool has 3 modes, "rotory only", " hammer only" and " rotary & hammer" modes which gives you the option to choose which mode will be most convenient for the job. All of these are ...

Failed

I bought one of these 8/1/2019 and it failed the first time I used it. I was drilling through concrete with a 1/2” drill bit and it would just stop working. I made sure the freshly charged 4amp 18v battery was connecred properly and tried again. It took me a long time to drill my 24 holes 6” deep because it kept dting multiple times with each hole. I tried 3-4 freshly charfed batteries and got the same result. It did the same thing when drilling horizontally through brick. So I returned it ar...

I trust this tool to get the job done

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really impressed with this rotary hammer. I know that Bosch makes great products, so I had high expectations for this, but it truly did exceed my expectations. I work in construction and do a lot of DIY around my own property, so I am always in the market for tools that will help me with the big jobs. I found this rotary hammer/drill to be a bit heavy, but in the best way. I feel confident that this thing can tackle a tough job and not ...

This thing works great for small concrete jobs

I was a bit skeptical that a battery powered hammer would work that well, but this this is great. I used it for a few concrete jobs like drilling a hold and smoothing off the top of a block. See the before and after pic of the top of the concrete block I smoothed off. First tip is to be sure to fully charge this guy, second tip would be eye protection is a must as this thing flings sharp shards of concrete up in your face, on your head... just everywhere. A mask might be a good idea too. This th...

Quality drill but only 5 min battery life.

The drill works really well! ...for 5 minutes at a time. Good quality drill, but the "all day performance" claim they make on the box is misleading at best. You'll find yourself recharging the 4 amp battery constantly if you buy this drill. I confirmed with their help line that my battery was not defective and this is typical output one can expect when using a 1" drill-bit. I'm told they do make an 8 amp battery if you're planning on purchasing extra batteries. Personally, I returned the co...

Working Mans Tool

This hammer drill is made for the working man who uses his tools to pay his bills. This drill is on par to the corded 1/2 inch corded hammer drill I already own. The cordless feature makes using it on the job site very convenient. One note it has a SDS chuck and you will have to buy SDS compatible bits. they are worth it as they do not strip or spin when using the hammer function. I have not used it as a chipping hammer but it has that ability, and what I have used it for this feature will help ...
