Product Information
Full details
The Bosch GSB 18V-55 Professional is an 18V cordless combi drill designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who need a powerful and efficient tool for drilling, impact drilling, and screwdriving. Its key benefit is the brushless motor, which offers high performance up to 55 Nm and 1,800 RPM, maximizing efficiency across wood, metal, and masonry, while ensuring extended tool life and battery runtimes. A potential consideration is its classification as an entry-level model, meaning it may lack some advanced features found in higher-end professional drills, but it excels in delivering robust performance for common tasks.

Troubleshooting
Drill does not turn on
Ensure the battery is properly inserted and charged. Check if the Electronic Cell Protection has activated; remove and reinsert the battery. Verify the tool's direction switch is not in the neutral position.
Reduced drilling or screwdriving power
Check the battery charge level. Ensure the correct gear setting is selected for the task. Clean any debris from the chuck and bit. Verify the Electronic Motor Protection has not been triggered due to prolonged overload.
Chuck is difficult to open or close
Inspect the chuck for debris or damage. Clean the chuck mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Battery not charging
Ensure the charger is properly connected to a power source. Check if the battery contacts and charger contacts are clean. Try a different compatible battery or charger if available.
