Review on Impact drill BOSCH GSB 13 RE (0 601 217 100), 600 W blue by Mateusz Mazurkiewicz ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

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 listened to me, and said that it should be so. You, uncle, buy a hammer drill for concrete. To my question - why the concrete drilling diameter of 13 mm is indicated in the passport, they just laughed, saying that it was for stone. So - I have an impact drill that does not work with concrete. Designed for simpletons like me, who trust all sorts of manufacturer's fables.

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