Bosch GBH 18V-24 C Cordless Rotary Hammer, SDS Plus, 18V, 2.4J, 980 RPM

The Bosch GBH 18V-24 C is a professional-grade cordless rotary hammer engineered for demanding drilling and chiseling tasks. Powered by an efficient brushless motor, this tool delivers consistent performance and extended service life. It features an SDS Plus chuck system for rapid accessory changes and provides an impact energy of 2.4 Joules, ensuring effective material removal in concrete, masonry, and wood. Designed for mobility and power, it is an essential tool for construction professionals requiring a reliable solution for heavy-duty applications.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this rotary hammer is its high-efficiency brushless motor, which maximizes runtime and reduces maintenance requirements. The 2.4 Joule impact energy allows for fast drilling progress in concrete up to 24 mm in diameter. Its ergonomic design and balanced weight distribution minimize user fatigue during prolonged operation. Furthermore, the integration of the SDS Plus system ensures secure bit retention and quick transitions between different drilling or chiseling tasks, enhancing overall productivity on the job site.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and masonry up to 24 mm
• Light-duty chiseling work in brick and stone
• Renovation and construction projects requiring cordless mobility
• Installation of anchors and fixings in hard materials

When it may not be suitable

This tool is not intended for heavy-duty demolition or drilling through reinforced concrete with very large diameters exceeding its capacity. It may also be less efficient for continuous, high-volume industrial drilling compared to corded rotary hammers.

Key specifications

• Voltage: 18V
• Impact energy: 2.4 J
• Maximum speed: 980 RPM
• Chuck type: SDS Plus
• Maximum drilling diameter in concrete: 24 mm
• Motor type: Brushless

How to use

To operate the tool, insert a compatible SDS Plus drill bit or chisel into the chuck until it locks into place. Select the appropriate operating mode using the selector switch, choosing between drilling, hammer drilling, or chiseling. Ensure a compatible 18V Li-Ion battery is securely attached to the base. Maintain a firm grip on the main handle and the auxiliary side handle while applying steady pressure to the workpiece. Always start at a lower speed if necessary and increase as required for the specific material.

What to consider before purchase

• Battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately
• Ensure compatibility with existing 18V battery systems
• Assess the maximum drilling diameter requirements for your specific projects

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles and ear protection, when operating the rotary hammer. Regularly inspect the SDS Plus chuck for debris and ensure the tool is kept clean to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
