Bosch GSB18V-975CN Overview
This Bosch hammer drill/driver brings cutting - edge innovation to the jobsite, offering high - power performance for tough materials and various applications. The GSB18V - 975CN, an 18V brushless connected - ready 1/2 in. drill, is powered by a robust brushless motor. It efficiently delivers up to 975 In. - Lbs. of max torque and 0 - 31,500 beats per minute (bpm), yet it only weighs 3.4 Lbs. (tool only, battery excluded). With variable speed settings of high - speed (0 - 2,100 rpm) and high - power (0 - 480 rpm), along with a 25 - setting precision clutch, it minimizes fastener damage. The rapid mode selector allows seamless switching between drilling and driving modes without clutch adjustment. The KickBack Control significantly reduces the risk of injury from sudden torque reaction. The drill offers connectivity (module sold separately), enabling users to customize settings and get feedback via the Bosch Toolbox App. Its all - metal chuck ensures durability, and the longer belt clip provides a more secure hold. This is a bare - tool kit, so the battery and charger are sold separately.
Using the Bosch GSB18V - 975CN hammer drill/driver is a breeze. First, make sure you have a fully - charged 18V battery (sold separately). Insert the appropriate drill bit into the keyless chuck and tighten it firmly. You can choose between high - speed and high - power settings depending on your task. For normal drilling or driving small fasteners, the high - speed setting (0 - 2,100 rpm) is great. When dealing with tougher materials or larger fasteners, switch to the high - power setting (0 - 480 rpm). To switch between drilling and driving modes, just use the rapid mode selector. The precision clutch with 25 settings helps you avoid damaging fasteners, so set it according to your needs. When using the drill, hold it firmly with the side - assist handle to prevent slipping. The KickBack Control is there to protect you from sudden torque reactions, but always stay alert. For maintenance, keep the drill clean. After each use, wipe it down with a dry cloth. Check the chuck regularly to ensure it's working smoothly. If you're using it in a dusty environment, connect it to the Bosch PRO+GUARD™ dust solutions for better protection. And remember, the battery and charger need proper care too. Store them in a cool, dry place and don't overcharge the battery.
