[@khuongathebounga4141]

Thanks for the Bosch review. All my Bosch tools have held up really well. But its good to see them finally catch up with the others when it comes to power. Now they need to make a stronger Freak impact driver.

[@luisinhoens90]

Agreed, although I believe it needs more RPMs and IPMs than torque. I just got the GDX18V-1860 which translates to 210Nm, used to have the 3 spd 200Nm version. They both remove my car and truck's lugnuts with ease. Breakaway torque is actually 365 Nm or 270 ft/lbs which is pretty strong for a tool that doubles as impact driver. 1/4" hex adapters can't take much before breaking anyway. But the 3400 no load RPMs definitely get cut at least in half when setting screws and lag bolts. That's where I can see the tool improving.

[@khuongathebounga4141]

@@luisinhoens90 Yeah i totally agree with the speed too. I've got the 3 speed 200nm like you used to but the RPM's drop alot under load. How are you finding the GDX18V-1860? Was it worth upgrading to?

[@Blobb2013]

@@khuongathebounga4141 I also have the 1860. it's weird cause the german version has different branding (GDX 18v 210 C). Doesnt make any sense, why they use different names in the US/UK. Anyway, i love this thing. It's pretty much become my daily driver for working on cars and around the house. I haven't had any issues with larger screws. I usually only use speed 1 and 2, 3 is overkill in most cases for my applications. A good bitholder is definitly a good investment. I already killed one, it just fell apart :D I use 4 Ah procore batteries which also improve the power output a little. For everything that needs brute force i have the GDS 18v 1050, which has 1700nm breakaway torque and is on a par with the top of the line milwaukee impact. There hasen't been a single nut/bolt this thing didn't break loose.

[@khuongathebounga4141]

@@Blobb2013 Thanks for sharing your experiences with the 1860. Sounds like i might need to upgrade mine. I'm also still running on non procore batteries as well, however i just ordered a 4ah and also an 8ah procore so should be getting them soon. Yeah i agree with the strange name difference. Sometimes it makes it really confusing. They should have just stuck to the same model number worldwide. As for the GDS 18v1050, that is one tool I'd love to own. Glad to hear that its been able to handle anything you've thrown at it too as it gives me more confidence in thinking abut buying it.

I would not mind the extra weight of that Bosch drill. It tells me that quality is most likely involved. Perhaps strong metal gears and a strong heavy duty metal chuck.

While I normally stick to my beloved Makita platform, I do own some quality Bosch 240V tools and I have no complaints. I enjoyed the Bosch review. Happy to see more.

[@dcl97]

That's simply because voltage does not equal power. While you can deliver the same power at a lower voltage it's not just for marketing. Higher voltage means higher efficiency, lower operating temps, and better reliability. That is why, for example, Milwaukee now rarely mentions "runtime" in there competitor comparisons, and they have begun to roll out some multi-battery tools a al Makitas X2 system. 36v is probably overkill for something like a drill or impact, but on constant high draw tools 36v has a real advantage.

[@permagnusandersson6052]

@@dcl97 and it means way less wear on the electronics and internals of the battery and motor because doubling the voltage means cutting the amps in halve.

Great review and testing. I just bought this bosch gsr 18v-150C, I also have the older gsr 18V-110C for more than 5 years. But this new one is more powerful but also heavier. I like the angle detection function. At some point in this video I saw smoke coming out from the bosch, when you tested with that 12mm screw. Did the temperature protection do it's job? Any warning or red light on the interface.? My Bosch angle grinder use a similar hmi and if I push too hard the warning light is blinking red. Or maybe just some oil or something else was evaporating. It happens when you abuse a new tool.

[@frans_d7989]

Thank you for your excellent review. One thing I did get from this is that the battery voltage has a little relevance to the tools performance. I suppose a watt is a watt regardless of the voltage. This brings me to the point. I have made an extensive investment in the Makita 18V platform and feel that Makita is no longer supporting this platform. Their battery technology has remained static for the last few years only providing a maximum capacity of a heavy 6.0Ah battery while their 40V platform have 8.0 Ah battery, that would equate to 16.0 Ah if it was on 18V platform. I think it is time to switch, Bosch is looking good.

Thank you for such an excellent and comprehensive test! 👍🏻 Is it possible you could review our options on using an sds drill as a combi? That would really be a great help 🙏🏻

[@Ruudwardt]

One thing to mind when assessing 'power' is how much rpm each have. Makita has more rpm in either gear. Power being proportional to rpm and torque - the Makita appears to still have more raw power. We already know that Makita underperforms with the 4 Ah battery (next to even a 2.5Ah pack). I can confirm that 5 Ah pack gives it more punch than 2.5 Ah. The Bosch is clearly a worthy powerful drill. Back when the drills were in an aluminium enclosure (WW2 ish) the bubble lever was common. Nice to see the feature returning in modern package.

[@nathkrupa3463]

Great comparison Sir Thanks for Sharing.

[@ironpirate8]

I would really like to see how the 18v biturbo circular saw measures up to the 36v and 40v makitas. Bosch seem to have decided to stick to 18v but upgrade batteries and motors, but is that enough? I'm on the 18v Bosch platform and that saw might be a future purchase.

[@AkosLukacs42]

AFAIK, that is a pretty good saw. Also, don't forget that current 21700 cells like in 18v bosch are much better than 10+ year old 18650 battery technology. Pretty sad that makita 18v stuff and their new 40v batteries are not compatible in any way.

[@engineer_alv]

As long as you don't need Outdoor Power equipment like leaf blowers, lawn mowers or chainsaws, 18V is plenty for most jobs. OTOH, 40V gives you more runtime than an 18V tool with the same Ah battery.

An important category you ignore, and I learned from experience is chuck durability and life. Why? I own a Dewalt hammer drill DCD696 and the chuck is its Nemesis. Chuck jams frequently and fails prematurely. To replace the chuck requires drill disassembly and a torch to free the drill shaft which has been shrink fitted into its housing. This is a biggie. I have used mine for heavy duty drilling of granite boulders prior to splitting them. That is heavy duty. Drills like the Bosch and my Dewalt are for lighter duty work. Remember the chuck is the weak link on any drill and easy replacement is a big item you have overlooked. Dewalt wants you to replace the drill and not the chuck.

Well why are you not using a Rotary Hammer drill? And do you mean the DCD996?

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Excellent question. I own the Dewalt and felt that I only had one or two grantie rocks to break up but I keep finding more and second guess myself saying that if I buy a rotary hammer I will likely never use it. What I think is important is that these 1/2 inch hammer drills are essentially light to moderate duty and with Dewalt you get a chuck which constantly jams (an irritation) and chuck replacement means disassembling the drill and heating the shaft housing to free it and then rebuilding the hammer portion.

@@chatterm17 nice Germany translate 👍👍

[@milwaukee_69]

Both brands are very good but they also have their ups and downs as well . Price wise makita is more expensive than Bosch

18:50 Bosch let the smoke out a bit

[@kajetanbiechonski7214]

awesome test, its fun to compare "the same" drills, i hope you know that the 40v engine has difrent parameters than 18v.

You forget about DF001GM. 140 Nm and 2600 rpm WOW

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I didn't forget it's the same drill just without the hammer function

[@N1rOx]

very cool angle feature. level bubbles on drills were okay but obviously relied on the thing you were drilling into being level to be 90 degrees to it. this is a lot better!

[@macvos]

What's the use in testing power in a torque limited setting? Therefore, always use the drill setting for power tests.

[@kizzjd9578]

Would’ve liked to see it race against the makita drilling a 300mm auger!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Coming soon...

[@howardgreen9718]

I’ll be gutted if this drill is that good because I just migrated over to the Makita 18v platform
