Unboxing | Bosch GSB 18V-50 Cordless Brushless Driver Hammer Drill

[@aishainman]

This is the 5th tile project we've done where we've removed the old tile before installing new tile, and the first one with this tool kzbin.infoUgkxqqoaX03nrziKwF7Bjjcc71YzLEleMvOS . I want to cry for all the unnecessary work we've done in the past. With this tool, we removed tile surrounding a fireplace, as well as the hearth tile, set in loads of cement, in less than an hour. I highly recommend this tool. It was easy to use, and very satisfying watching the tile literally fall off the wall.

Thank you for the excellent video! I wish all unboxing videos were like this - straight to the point, showing all angles, accessories, demonstrating the function, no music so I can hear the tool, etc. without making it all about oneself instead of the product. :P

I just ordered the US version (GSB18V-490B12) on Amazon for $149 and couldn't be happier. This hammer drill is replacing a brushed GSB-180Li which was my first Bosch tool. I also have a GDX-180 impact driver that has served me very well. Bosch makes great tools and they've got my business for years to come

[@JohnUyArts]

That's grrat to hear bro , this is my 3rd bosch tool and it did serve me well in its 4 months of use since bought , it has akready gone through more than hundreds of drilling in concrete wood and some metal , and i am using it more than my corded hammer drill 🙂

[@engineer_alv]

Just noted the 490 stands for 490 in-lbs of torque or roughly 55Nm. So yeah, mine is basically the GSB18V-55. Still going strong. I use it mainly on wood and concrete walls

[@JohnUyArts]

@@engineer_alv I've got mine for six months now , used mainly for drilling wood , concrete , and driving screws , that is every day use , also used for drilling metals , I love the speed clutch function because I prefer drilling metals in low rpm.

Muito boa e forte a parafusadeira GSB 18v-50! A minha chegou hoje 09/10/2020.

[@usuarioNordestino]

ainda está usando? deu algum problema?

[@thenordenviking8725]

hi i bought the bosch GSB 18V-28 but my drill had one of its battery installed and the the drill wasent in a plastic cover . From outside it looked unopend but now im not so sure. I hate when i get used stuff

[@vickryfajriansyah9821]

I just have bosch go gen 2.i hope next time i can buy another bosch. Bosch very help me in my work at home.

[@JohnUyArts]

be careful with that tiny beast , it's strong it can break screws

[@jarrod-smith]

Great demo. I just got this drill (well, the newest -490 version) and the Gen3 Freak. Seems like a very good upgrade from my 10YO Bosch drill/driver combo.

[@nekpeniroghama1798]

Thanks so much, it really helped.

[@user-cz8ft5rd2e]

I have 1unit of this machine , I choose to screw mode , when I screw until tight ..it' is auto stop when that screw tight ?

[@JohnUyArts]

yes depending on the torque setting , you can see there is 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,,, etc ... you try experimenting which setting is best for you in screw mode , that is a feature to prevent over tightening of screws , so it auto stops when it is tight , depending on the number you set in drill and hammer mode , it will force more torque on the screws which will cause loose thread , broken screws , etc...

[@user-wq7lf8ej9k]

Hey, thanks for the video. Can you tell me about the clutch. Is it possible to assemble furniture with?

[@JohnUyArts]

yes , the clutch controls the max rpm of the drill , first gear has max rpm of 460 , second gear has max rpm of 180. and yes i build furniture with this drill , i even drill holes in metal and concrete with this :)

What is the difference from brushed drill? I have no idea with the brushless n brushed

[@JohnUyArts]

types of motor brushed - with carbon brush commutation , has friction during operation brushless - no carbon brush , all digital , more efficient

[@Sanx007]

Nice video, bro. Well filmed. I got mine today, here in Brazil, but I'm noticing something like a "gear sound" when i'm full throtle on the 2nd speed and release the trigger, also a little "tremor"on the body, seems like its the brake mechanism. Does your make it too?

[@JohnUyArts]

Hello good day bro !!! It's a normal behavior for cordless drill especially with brush-less motors . There is the absence of inertia or "freewheel" after the trigger is released . It's also its brake mechanism . With the 2nd gear , the inertia is higher and that's why we get the "gear sound" after releasing the trigger and the brake is engaged . It's like a "gear bump" sound . And also , if the chuck is not locked during this process , it will freewheel after each braking . Hope I get everything right and clear ? :)

[@Sanx007]

@@JohnUyArts Thx a lot for the response John! I'm glad to know its normal and also for the free lesson lol. Saw many vids before your responde and ALL of them did this sound hahaha, now I can put holes on my wall without worries

[@MZMA85]

Me too! my gsr18v50 sometimes emits sound like crack crack crack...i thought that the gearbox is busted

[@JohnUyArts]

@@MZMA85 i believe that cracking sound is the torque limits in the driver mode of the tool , screw icon + torque settings from 1 to 20

[@TheRealSmooch]

Hmm, i did not know that a GSB18V-50 exists. Its not listed on Bosch page either. I guess its the GSB18V-55 now. They renamed the 85 to 110 as well to represent the max torque and make it more compareable with other manufacturers. Just bought the GSB18V-55 and can see no difference in the model with yours.

[@JohnUyArts]

I believe the model name is different on every region? In southeast asia this is what they call it , as with other products , the model name / number is different with other countries / region as well :)

[@nomadiclog]

Hi there. Is there much wobble on the chuck?

[@JohnUyArts]

Good day , my unit has less than 1mm of chuch wobble , but the collet has no visible wobble unless measure by a dial gauge

[@FORZABAZ]

I bought this drill yesterday

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Problem with the Bosch Professional line is there are 5 or so different 'professional' drills but it is very hard to know which one is correct for your purpose???

[@michaeltubol4884]

The only reason why there 5 different professional drills is because of the price

[@raijinmadapaka]

I've been using the GSB 180-LI for months. Is it worth upgrading to the 18v-50 say tool only for php 5k?

[@JohnUyArts]

definitely worth it. you can also keep both. both works great. both has its own pros and cons. but both are definitely worth it.

[@JaypeeVestidas]

I'm looking to buy my first drill, and this seems to hit the spot. Are there any similar ones that you can recommend? Thank you for the vid and the comments, this is very helpful=)

[@JohnUyArts]

GSB 18V-50 GSB 18V-150 (if you can wait for the release) GSB 12V-30 - if you dont plan doing super heavy tasks , actually GSB 12V-30 is more than enough for woodworks and DIYs you may check other brands like the Makita LXT and XGT , they are pretty good Dewalt is also good If you are in the Philippines , Bosch has the best aftersales parts and service , hence why I buy the Bosch

[@JaypeeVestidas]

Is there really a nuisance/crackling sound when using 2nd gear?

I wish PH dealers sold those higher than 50nm GSBs

[@JohnUyArts]

PH only receives few models and releases are so far behind from other countries

[@spyketan72]

I would have gone withDewalt DCD796 if I were u

[@actorlyric]

All depends which platform you want to use. Dewalt unit is a great drill similar in price to the bosch. But for about 100 quid Inc 2 batteries a charger & a case isn't bad to be fair. Also the batteries are part of an alliance scheme where they can be used in other brands , seems makita is on board as well now. So you don't have to be tied to one platform 👍

[@ricardohechanova]

original bosch drill lazada?

[@Jerryl07]

How long to fully charge a single battery?

[@JohnUyArts]

From zero percenr , about an hour. A friendly tip , never zero your batteries to make them last so long , once the indicator is one bar recharge it immediately , it usually gets full in less than an hour , 30 to 40 mins on average I am basing this on stock 2Ah

[@rw4212]

what do you think of the PSB 1800 compared to this?

[@JohnUyArts]

Hi , the PSB 1800 has a max torque of 38 Nm , the GSB 18V50 is 50 Nm. I am not so sure if the PSB 1800 is compatible with the bosch 18v system. The PSB 1800 is for light DIY home projects with chuck max capacity of 10mm , while the GSB 18V50 is heavy duty , 13mm capacity , metal chuck compared to the other which is plastic , and brushless motor compared to the other which is DC brushed motor.

[@rw4212]

@@JohnUyArts True. But PSB is made in Europe. Would that be considerable?

[@JohnUyArts]

@@rw4212 personally , the country where its made does not matter so much , what matters is what it was designed to , we also have that model in our country , i believe its made in China or Malaysia . The GSB 18V50 is construction grade , it was designed for job sites.

[@benjieadia1331]

Just bought one 2 daya ago bothered ako sir kase may cracking sound sir pag sa gear 2 after release ng trigger. Ganun ba talaga?

[@JohnUyArts]

good day sir , its normal because the speed is faster and it takes more force to stop the rotation , so you can hear the braking part of the mechincal drive .

[@benjieadia1331]

Ganyan din sakin may tutonog pag nka 2 gear,pero pag 1 gear lang ok naman

[@dennisbaltazar]

Bro, how's the hammer function? Na try mo na sa concrete like sa pader? Salamat sa review👍💯

[@JohnUyArts]

Yes sir , I have tried this on pure concrete , take note , concrete is not the same as masonry , masonry may just refer to plaster or hollow block walls . With hollow block walls digs with ease , but impulse drives makes the drill bit run cooler and digs efficiently compared to continuous drive . Now with concrete , this is a different story , whether you are using the GSB 18V 50 or any corded percussion impact hammer drill , drilling becomes a pain , a silver percussion or a multi material masonry bit will make drilling a tiny little faster , but using ordinary masonry bits is torture . But still force is required and drilling multiple holes will really pain you hehe . The real solution to masonry is with a rotary hammer drill , trust me its effortless :))) So to answer your question , yes the GSB 18V-50 can do the job , but i dont recommend drilling concrete with more than 10 holes .

[@dennisbaltazar]

@@JohnUyArts Salamat sa sagot mo. Actually I own a GSB 13 (corded). Sobrang bigat lang gamitin. Sakit na sa kamay. Almost 6 months ko na ginagamit. Thinking of upgrading and I've been watching all reviews about GSB 18V-50. Salamat sa input mo and highly appreciated. Tama ka, for mansonry, rotary hammer talaga best. For mounting mga floating shelves kaya na yan diba? salamat bro.

[@JohnUyArts]

@@dennisbaltazar floating shelves have thick diameter brackets , yes GSB 18V 50 can do it if youre installing in hollow block walls and plaster boards . But with solid concrete the drill and bit will suffer .

[@JohnUyArts]

@@dennisbaltazar GSB 13 is not a heavy drill , BUT due to drilling inefficiency in concretes youre body gets easily fatigued . Thats why its better to have even at least an entry level rotary hammer at hand , at 2 kilo weight BUT with effortless drilling i think its a better option
