Rotary Hammer Bosch GBH 18V-28 DC (SDS-Plus) with 2x 5.5Ah ProCORE batteries and GAL 1880 charger

The Bosch GBH 18V-28 DC is a cordless rotary hammer with an SDS‑Plus bit holder, supplied with two 5.5 Ah ProCORE batteries and a GAL 1880 charger. Designed for professional on‑site work, the tool delivers portable impact drilling and chiselling for concrete, masonry and renovation tasks where hammering force and mobility are required. The battery-powered configuration removes the need for mains power during drilling, demolition and anchor or dowel installation, while the SDS‑Plus interface allows quick bit changes and secure seating of drill and chisel accessories.

Advantages

The cordless Bosch GBH 18V-28 DC combines the hammering performance expected from a rotary hammer with the freedom of battery operation, enabling use in locations without easy access to power. Including two 5.5 Ah ProCORE batteries ensures extended runtime and reduces downtime for battery changes, while the GAL 1880 charger supports recharging of the supplied battery pack. The SDS‑Plus system provides compatibility with a wide range of drill and chisel bits and allows fast accessory swaps. The kit is intended for professional applications that require both impact drilling and light chiselling without a power cable.

Suitable for

• Impact drilling in concrete and masonry
• Light chiselling and removal of plaster or tiles
• Installing anchors, dowels and fasteners on construction sites
• Renovation and retrofit work where mobility is required

Key specifications

• Power source: 18 V lithium‑ion battery system
• Supplied battery capacity: two 5.5 Ah ProCORE batteries
• Bit holder: SDS‑Plus
• Includes: two ProCORE 5.5 Ah batteries and GAL 1880 charger
• Primary functions: impact drilling and chiselling

How to use

Install a charged ProCORE 5.5 Ah battery into the tool before operation and ensure the battery is fully seated. Choose an SDS‑Plus bit appropriate for the material and task, insert it into the bit holder until it locks, and select the required mode (impact drilling or chiselling) if the tool provides mode selection. Start drilling or chiselling with steady axial pressure, allowing the tool's hammering action to do the work rather than applying excessive force. For anchor or dowel installation, drill to the specified depth and clean the hole of dust before inserting fixings. Recharge depleted batteries with the GAL 1880 charger following the charger's indicator instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask) when drilling or chiselling. Use bits rated for SDS‑Plus and suitable for concrete or masonry. For prolonged operations, rotate between the two supplied batteries to maintain productivity and allow batteries to cool between heavy cycles.
