Product Information

Integrated work light, by comparison to Makita’s built-in light. This one stays on and comes on ready for you to line up your screw before you start fastening it in place. While 1.5Ah batteries are not the longest-lasting options, thanks to this drill’s lithium-Ion batteries and its energy-efficient Syneon Chip, you’ll find that you’ll get a lot done with just one battery.

torque settings, drill setting, 2 gears with innovative forward/reverse switch for drilling/screwdriving, impact function can be switched on separately We did an article on The Best Impact Drivers of 2021 should you want to find out more about its counterpart the Bosch Professional GDR impact driver. However, it provides enough torque to drive most fixings in. The controls are easy to use and highly intuitive. The forward/reverse switch is coupled with a handy forward/reverse indicator at the top of the drill, so you’ll always know the direction setting. The Bosch PSB 1800 LI-2 runs on a Bosch 18v PowerForAll lithium-ion battery, meaning it shares battery compatibility not only with other Bosch 18v Home & Garden (Green) cordless tools, but also with other tools from other manufacturers who have recently become part of the Power For All 18v Alliance, including Gardena, Wagner and Rapid. metal drill bits Ø 2-8 mm (for metal, plexiglass and hard plastics). 11 masonry drill bits Ø 3-10 mm (for masonry, limestone, natural and artificial stone). 8 wood drill bits Ø 3-10 mm (for hardwood, softwood and plastic).I would highly recommend this tool as I would always advise to be equipped with middle-range products for everyday use. If you can afford and have even more use than I have go for top range. It’s great that Bosch have included a charge level indicator on the base of this drill. It takes the guesswork out of knowing how much juice is left. It’s something that Ryobi could take on board. Right in front of the indicator is the LED work light. It’s reasonably powerful but turns off as soon as you let go of the trigger. You can, just about, run the light without turning the drill on as well, which is nice. Complete with two lithium-ion batteries, a charger, and a carry case, we think the Bosch PSB 1800 LI-2 is excellent value for money, mainly if you are new to DIY and don’t already have any interchangeable 18V batteries. These clever Power for All batteries can push the business end of the drill to a maximum drilling speed of 1,350 rpm. It’s not class-leading but it’s fast enough for most jobs. In hammer mode, you get a maximum of 20,250 bpm, which is the slowest of all the combi drills I’ve tested and reviewed. The 38 Newton metres of torque it puts out isn’t beating any of the bigger name brands on the list either.

One of its unique features is that it works as both an electric drill and a screwdriver. As a user, you don’t want to have to use two different tools when doing a single task. A combination of the two puts both’s power in your hands making it easier, lighter and faster to manoeuvre around the working area. Also, you get to save on costs with the combination since the tool comes at a reasonable pricing point. As always with Bosch the warranty that comes with the product is 2 years which once activated online becomes 3 years, this really does finish the product off nicely. Bosch PSB 1800 Accessory Set Combi drills are highly versatile tools, and the Bosch PSB 1800 LI-2 is no exception. With 20 pre-selectable torque levels, it makes a great multi-purpose power driver. It also has a drill mode for drilling holes into wood and plastics and an impact drill mode for drilling into more challenging materials such as masonry and steel. Am delighted with my fantastic new drill/screwdriver I bought without charger nor battery as I already own the latest. Hence it cost me less than previously thought and I am now all equipped with solid European Bosch products which has been my ecosystem for years!! There’s plenty of control when it comes to torque settings on this cordless drill. Bosch have called it ScrewControl, but it’s the same principle. You get 20 different settings that control how much power you can put into a screw, to help save the surface of delicate materials you’re working on.Good news! After doing this my drill is now working again and the problem you describe has stopped! However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You get a decent case and two batteries to play with. These two Power Alliance batteries can fuel a range of tools by different brands, which is remarkable in the age of proprietary systems. It’s a good place to start as long as you don’t expect this cordless drill to perform like one of Bosch’s Professional level tools.
