Revainrating 3 out of 5

Im not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

For all the time of use, it was under repair 4 times and all for one reason - a problem with the reverse button. All the time there is something burning and charring. They do it for free, under warranty, but each time it takes about 2 weeks of time, + time to bring and pick up. The cartridge has a strong beating, you can’t work with long drills and drills. The power is small. Wood and gas blocks still all right. But bricks are already with difficulties (any, especially ceramic ones). I'm…

Pros
  • Hard to tell
Cons
  • Chuck runout, weak, problems with reverse all the time, high price

Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

A good model, but she can not cope with the walls. Took to drill the walls. Completely disappointed. Moreover, after all, I chose according to the characteristics, drilling of concrete was promised. Pobedit drills - they took everything from the old DWT. With this one, 10-15 millimeters are drilled, and that's it. Specialists said that concrete is different. Why didn't they say this before. But in the end I have not the cheapest, but completely unnecessary drill.

Pros
  • Small. Powerful. Well drills everything around except walls.
Cons
  • Frankly weak, it can not cope with concrete. There is no suitcase.

Not a bad product, nothing extraordinary.

Similar to the previous writers, the situation is as follows: when drilling wood panels and boards, there were no problems. In brick walls, it is also quite tolerable to make holes of 8-12 mm for dowels. Noisy but goes slowly. If you need bigger holes in the brick, this is where the whole thing begins: the blow is weak, the drills scroll in the cartridge, there is wild heating. It takes as much as 2-3 minutes to drill, or rather dig a hole of 16-20 mm. After a couple of months of such a dance…

Pros
  • light and small
Cons
  • low-power, unreliable cartridge, cartridge backlash, price

Bought over 10 years ago. It cost about 3000. With quick-release Ryomovsky chuck. Production - Switzerland. Mode of operation - domestic but intensive. The drill went through fire and water more than once. It was the only tool of this type during the overhaul of several apartments. Used on concrete, brick, wood, metal, as a mixer for plaster and putty, with various grinding (D125) and wire attachments, as a screwdriver. Right now there is a screwdriver and punch, but the drill works fine to…

Pros
  • Reliable, indestructible model
Cons
  • No case.

It's not a bad product, nothing extraordinary.

Well, in general, I certainly would not scold this percussion drill. Now I'm smart and I understand that it's not worth it to follow Bosch's ads, where they drill concrete. An impact drill should not be used to drill concrete. But, you see, I gave a lot of money for this "professional" tool. And what happens. I once tried to work with the boys in a construction site with the most ordinary interskol, but I didn’t remember the model. So you know what? Well, no difference. And why the hell did I…

Pros
  • comfortable
Cons
  • weak, self-tightening cartridge holds unreliably, expensive

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

Excellent model for home use. Keyless chuck allows you to quickly change drills. At home, it allows you to perform all the necessary drilling work, using it with bosch drills. Doesn't take up much space. It's just a pity that there is no case in the delivery, I had to buy separately.

Nothing special, there are positive and negative sides.

In general, an ordinary percussion drill. But for Bosch, which I have always considered a model of a good tool, this is just a failure. The main problem is the beating of the cartridge. Because of this, it is problematic to start working with large drills. On a steel sheet, they break off from a pointed point, on a wall they simply crawl along the surface until they go deep at least a little. As a result, instead of a neat hole on the wall, a peeled penny a few centimeters in size remains. It…

Pros
  • Small, quick release chuck.
Cons
  • Weak, the reverse breaks, the beating of the cartridge.

A good balance of price/quality, recommend it.

I use this drill at home. I bought a Bosch stock, after a couple of days the price increased by a quarter :) Good build quality and materials, despite the fact that they began to assemble in 2022. I drilled a thick silicate brick with a 10m drill for it. A couple of times during work, the drill turned, I had to clamp it. The cartridge is metal, not afraid of blows. Not happy with the lack of a suitcase for storing a drill. All the same, the greedy Germans saved on "lice".

Pros
  • - light, comfortable. - metal keyless chuck. - relatively low price. - 3 year warranty.
Cons
  • - the chuck does not hold the drill well. - there is no suitcase for storing the drill.

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

Impact drill Bosch GSB-13 RE. Purchased 11202222, died 04202222. Kitchen assembler / installer, experience - 42 months. GSB was killed in 3 years. Is it a lot or a little? If you work non-stop, i. E. every day, then any drill-repair dies, it becomes unprofitable, you have to buy a new one, and it is best to throw the old one out the window! (joke) Boschservice is something absolutely unbearable. In Hong Kong Makitaservisov-4, Khitachevsky-3, Boshevsky-1. The lack of competition corrupts: no…

Pros
  • Compact, lightweight, powerful and ergonomic. The self-tightening chuck saves a lot of time changing drill bits. Over time, it becomes clogged with cement dust and begins to jam, but this is easily treated with WD-40.
Cons
  • The device is very good - not perfect yet, but already something close to it . I would buy myself the same one again, but I only outgrew such small models . But the service drank blood (I live in Hong Kong).

Unusable to use, bad product.

Some pros: Compactness, appearance, ergonomics. The first drill where an additional handle helps in the work and you don’t want to immediately remove it. Cons below: The cartridge - it doesn’t get worse: the drills don’t really clamp, they turn, it’s impossible to use a drill - I handed it back.

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…

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

There are disadvantages, but the product is usable.

She drills full-bodied and silicate bricks with great tension, you understand that there is not enough power. Foam blocks, aerated concrete, dense wood - this is quite a material for her. It comes across that it is harder, the drill begins to heat up. If pressed, it can jam tightly. It also infuriates that the handle turns (maybe only I have such a marriage, until I went to the service). I tried to drill 16 mm holes in a brick and began to hit the cartridge with a drill that heats up wildly…

Pros
  • build quality, case included, ergonomic shape
Cons
  • low-power, the additional handle turns, there is a beating of the cartridge

Performs its functions, nothing unusual.

I am surprised to read the reviews of those who praise this drill. It looks like it's the same model. And my impressions of six months of using this drill are completely opposite. I bought it mainly for drilling in concrete, in a new building I had to make several holes of 6-10 mm each. 600W + shock should be enough. As a result: she drills to drill, but the blow seems to be absent, either there or not. I re-read the instructions - up to 13 mm in concrete. I went with her to the service, they…

Pros
  • Small, well drills wood, foam blocks, brick
Cons
  • Concrete is too tough for her, power is not enough

Not everything is so bad, the average purchase in quality.

The problem with the centering of the cartridge is worth everything else. I discovered the backlash of the cartridge immediately, drove into the store, they said that it would run in in two or three days. Used for two weeks, work is inconvenient. A hole in the wall begins with peeling of the plaster around, it moves out on the metal, it’s even useless to core. Without pre-drilling, you will not get to the intended point. A thin drill deepens quickly, but also not always accurately, and using…

Pros
  • Reversible, quick tool change, compact.
Cons
  • Centering problem.

An impact drill with lousy impact power is nonsense, especially for Bosch. Brick, foam blocks and wood drill normally, as it should be "German quality" - quickly, smartly, without noise and dust. But there are problems with concrete. The drill makes a small hole and spins in one place, if you start to press, the drill buzzes and heats up. This is despite the fact that you drill with an 8 mm drill, and the instructions say up to 13 mm in concrete. The reverse also began to act up after 10 days…

Pros
  • compact, lightweight
Cons
  • weak in power, there is no case for storage and carrying, there is a beating of the cartridge and the reverse sometimes junk

Not a bad product, but you can do better.

From the brand, perhaps, only the build quality can be noted. By itself, a low-power drill, so nothing surprising was expected from it. The patron was able to surprise. The beating is noticeable, I tried to turn the screws with it, but refused just because of the beating, he does not screw long screws, but starts to swing them. The speed control from the button almost always works, but it happens, which is surprising, when turned on, it starts at full speed, and only when pressed lightly does…

Pros
  • Brand, build quality
Cons
  • Cartridge, reverse button

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are some variations, but tolerable on the whole.

What I thought when I took this "impact drill", I honestly do not know. Into darkness, apparently. When I noticed that there was only one speed, I immediately realized that I had probably bought the wrong thing, but I thought: Bosch, after all! But alas, besides the fact that there is only one speed and it is impossible to use it as a screwdriver (although it is in the name in the advertisement for NM: impact drill screwdriver). The speed control is still not enough - it didn’t work out for…

Pros
  • comfortable in the hands
Cons
  • weak cartridge, blow - none, like a screwdriver - disgusting
