Review on Impact drill BOSCH GSB 13 RE (0 601 217 100), 600 W blue by Micha Gabriel Czajko ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are pluses and minuses, think before you buy.

the drill is suitable for drilling wood and brick, but the seller and instructions also talk about concrete. So it is written 13 mm in concrete maximum. Well, OK! I tried a dozen drills into bricks, they are well drilled into concrete, even with a blow - not very well. You can still see the drill only on brick and wood, although it looks like it is fully assembled (with a handle, a drilling depth limiter) just WOW. In the work I felt the beating of the cartridge several times, but for now I write it off for the period when I experimented with concrete walls. In a word, I have a double impression of the instrument. It seems to work, but as if the promised functionality is not in it.

Pros
  • compact model, lightweight
Cons
  • low power, no case for storage and carrying, hits the chuck, weak impact in the hammer drilling mode
