Bosch Home and Garden Cordless Combi Drill PSB 1800 LI-2 (2 x 18 volt batteries, 20 torque settings, drill and impact function, in carrying case)

Product Information

Combi drills have three functions. They can be used for drilling holes into metal as well as wood, drilling holes into masonry as well as concrete through hammer function and driving screws. Due to this combination function, they can be used for various home improvement jobs. The Makita DHP482Z 18 V is a battery operated combi drill with rich features that guarantee optimum performance. This cheap combi drill has variable two-speed transmission so that you can use it for various drilling and fastening jobs. If anything, the grip is a little on the small side. I’ve got large hands, and the bottom of my palm started rubbing on the battery release button surround almost immediately. I don’t know how comfortable this will be over time, and I don’t think it would be great to use with gloves on.

If the first choice gone unavailable, The Makita DHP482Z is our 2nd best choice. This 18V cordless combi drill comes with a variable speed trigger for executing productive jobs.

We know it is not a piece of cake searching for products to buy, and that is why this review is created. We hope that you will surely make the right choice. You can choose between 20 torque settings allowing you produce good quality results depending on the material you’re waiting with This drill still proves to be one of Bosch’s best entry level combi drills, but Bosch has also released the Universal Impact Driver, which on first glance sounds like an impact driver. In fact it is more of a hammer drill but with impact driver features on the side. If you are after a dedicated impact driver there are certainly better offerings, but this might set to be a likely replacement for the Bosch PSB 1800 a few years down the road.

These clever Power for All batteries can push the business end of the drill to a maximum drilling speed of 1,350 rpm. It’s not class-leading but it’s fast enough for most jobs. In hammer mode, you get a maximum of 20,250 bpm, which is the slowest of all the combi drills I’ve tested and reviewed. The 38 Newton metres of torque it puts out isn’t beating any of the bigger name brands on the list either.

The grip shape is fine, but it’s not as refined compared to the ones on the Ryobi R18PD3 or the DeWalt DCD796. Bosch have been a bit stingy on the rubberised sections as well, as the tips of my fingers are trying to grip on to hard plastic during use. It’s just not as comfortable as some of the other cordless drills on my list.
