Is this going to drill in a concrete wall thanks

​Only if you point it that way and pull the trigger

sorry should say combi drill not combine!

Looks good to me!

how these compare to Dewalt or Makita or Milwaukee?

Good price but don't forget to add £4:99 for delivery

depends on model

blue bosch are professional grade & at this price its a steal over anything at the same price less a possible Makita

I ordered it and it didn't charge for delivery,it said the £4.99 is included in the price,not sure how that works!

Hot.

Don't forget, the standard warranty is 1yr but you can increase this to 3yrs by registering (the drill & batteries separately) on the Bosch Professional website.

There's one for £65 after cash back

Ordered, thanks

Sofiasar, how £65?

Batteries normally have a 2 year warranty. Parts cost less than the other brands normally and they have all metal gearboxes unlike some others.

also you can sell the l-boxx for £25 on ebay alone making it £60 , good price however at least from the videos it looks rather cheaply built even its from their professional range.
Would have been a great deal if this was for an Impact driver tho

Hoe does this compare to the screw fix on for £99 ?

Hammer function is for drilling and is not the same as how an impact driver works.

Great price for this Bosch drill. Heat added

Don't need this but bought one anyway. Gonna sell one of the batteries and the box on ebay which should recoup £43 (after fees etc.) of my outlay, making the drill and a battery £42 after cashback

It's useless at being an impact driver, trust me
Regular driver-yes, but not impact.

If using occasionally than sure, however the extra battery is actually a must have if you are working on time-sensitive stuff such as glue-ups, or mixing something, I have only 1 good battery now for mine and its always frustrating when it happens in a middle of a job like that.
Also the l-boxx is actually a damn good storage box for other stuff ,throw out the insert and you have nice sturdy place where to store all kinds of other stuff you need.

I only tend to do short jobs anyway so I think one battery will be enough

Thanks ordered

In my opinion better than DW, not as good as Makita, with Milwaukee being absolute top of the range. I do have, however, one of basic BOSCH drills worth £50 in my garage being used and abused EVERY DAY except Sundays in last 4 years and it is still running!

Postage will be a lot for the battery

Wow, I'm thinking now wether to buy one and do the same

Is this going to drill in a concrete wall thanks

Not sure if the description is accurate, it states that it has 2 2amp batteries but this model has only ever come with 1.5amp batteries (and they will die very quickly they are not very powerful the ones you really want are the 4amp ones).

I have one albeit the 14.4 model from B&Q when they cleared it out, with again 1.5amp batteries, and I need to recharge them quite often as it lasts around 20 mins mixing mortar, and about an 45mins for general drilling in mortar/bricks/metal.

The product code according to Bosch is 0 601 9D2 370 which is only 1.5amp

Oh and the promotion is the Big Bonanza offer and you need to download the app to get the cashback and take a picture of the receipt.

m.screwfix.com/des…024 has a 2ah battery albeit just one

Nice deal. HOT.

Looking at this site the "original " prices are very escalated so the now bargain price looks better !
Take for example the Bosch GOP 18 V-EC ?
£249 rrp ! Now £169 - £20 cash back
Well a quick check on the web abd this item is universally £149 without cash back.
Hmmm..... all that glitters is not gold

Different product code (06019E7170) shown on the listing. See bosch-professional.com/gb/…s-p for manufacturer description.

Maybe with a bit of sweat. Hammer drills work best drilling into soft brick/cement. I'd recommend an SDS drill to make your life much easier. A good one normally treats walls like butter.

Cheers ordered

Is there a link to how to claim on the cashback?

I've bought this mainly for the batteries for my impact driver, but I've got a Bosch PSB 18 LI-2 drill as well I could replace.

The specs are here - bosch-do-it.com/gb/…jsp - could anyone tell me if its any better?

I can see that the chuck is bigger, but the torque is lower?

EDIT - D'oh, just realised it's not a hammer drill!

ordered, cheers OP
