Bosch GSB 18V-52 Cordless Impact Drill/Driver (Bare Tool) | 06019S01C0.

Work efficiently in confined spaces with the Bosch GSB 18V-52 Professional Cordless Impact Drill/Driver. Designed for tradespeople who require a combination of power, durability and manoeuvrability, this compact 18V cordless tool delivers reliable drilling and screwdriving performance across a variety of professional applications.

The GSB 18V-52 features a powerful brushless motor that delivers 25Nm of soft torque, 52Nm of hard torque and a maximum torque specification of 70Nm. This combination provides the driving force needed for demanding fastening and drilling tasks while maintaining precise control for more delicate applications.

One of the tool's main advantages is its exceptionally compact design. With a head length of just 161mm, the GSB 18V-52 allows users to work comfortably in tight, awkward spaces where larger drill drivers may struggle. This makes it particularly useful for cabinet installation, electrical work, furniture assembly and general construction tasks.

The advanced brushless motor provides efficient power delivery while reducing mechanical wear associated with traditional brushed motors. As a result, the tool offers improved durability and a longer service life, making it suitable for regular professional use.

For additional strength and reliability, the GSB 18V-52 features a robust metal keyless chuck with a clamping capacity of 1.5–13mm. This durable chuck provides secure accessory retention and allows users to change compatible drill bits and screwdriver accessories without a separate chuck key.

The two-speed gearbox provides no-load speeds of up to 500rpm in first gear and 1,900rpm in second gear. This allows users to select a suitable speed range for controlled screwdriving or faster drilling applications, depending on the material and task.

An integrated LED work light illuminates the immediate working area, improving visibility when drilling or fastening in poorly lit spaces, inside cupboards or around electrical installations.

Weighing approximately 0.98kg without a battery, the Bosch GSB 18V-52 combines portability with practical handling. Its pistol-grip design supports comfortable operation and precise tool positioning during repetitive drilling and fastening tasks.

The tool operates on Bosch Professional's 18V lithium-ion battery platform, allowing users with compatible Bosch Professional batteries to incorporate it into their existing cordless tool collection.

Whether installing cabinetry, assembling furniture, drilling mounting holes or completing electrical installation work, the Bosch GSB 18V-52 provides the power, compactness and durability required for efficient professional performance.

Powerful Brushless Motor:

The Bosch GSB 18V-52 features an efficient brushless motor designed to deliver reliable power while reducing mechanical wear.

Unlike conventional brushed motors, brushless technology eliminates the need for carbon brushes, reducing friction and maintenance requirements associated with brush wear.

This design contributes to a longer tool service life and makes the drill driver suitable for demanding professional applications.

High Torque Performance:

The GSB 18V-52 provides three manufacturer-specified torque ratings to support different drilling and fastening requirements.

• Soft Torque – 25Nm: Supports controlled fastening applications where a gentler driving force is required.
• Hard Torque – 52Nm: Provides increased driving force for demanding screwdriving applications.
• Maximum Torque – 70Nm: Represents the tool's maximum specified torque capability.

These torque characteristics allow the drill driver to accommodate a range of fastening tasks while providing the control needed for accurate screw placement.

Compact 161mm Head Length:

The Bosch GSB 18V-52 features a compact head length of only 161mm, making it particularly suitable for working in confined areas.

This compact construction allows users to position the drill more easily inside cabinets, between structural components and in other restricted spaces.

Its short head length is especially beneficial for cabinet installers, electricians and tradespeople who frequently work in awkward positions.

Durable Metal Keyless Chuck:

The drill driver incorporates a robust metal keyless chuck designed for durability and secure accessory retention.

With a clamping capacity of 1.5–13mm, the chuck accommodates a variety of compatible drill bits and fastening accessories.

The keyless design allows users to change accessories without a separate chuck key, reducing interruptions when switching between drilling and screwdriving tasks.

Two-Speed Gearbox:

The Bosch GSB 18V-52 features a two-speed gearbox that allows users to select a suitable operating speed for different applications.

• First Gear – Up to 500rpm: Provides a lower speed range for controlled screwdriving and suitable drilling tasks.
• Second Gear – Up to 1,900rpm: Provides a higher speed range for faster drilling applications.

This flexibility helps users balance control and speed according to the material, accessory and intended application.

Integrated LED Work Light:

An integrated LED work light helps illuminate the immediate working area during drilling and screwdriving.

This feature is particularly useful when working inside cupboards, under shelving, around electrical installations or in other areas with limited lighting.

Improved visibility helps users position the drill bit or screwdriver accessory more accurately.

Lightweight & Ergonomic Design:

Weighing approximately 0.98kg without a battery, the Bosch GSB 18V-52 offers convenient handling during everyday professional tasks.

Its compact pistol-grip construction makes it easier to manoeuvre in restricted spaces and supports comfortable tool positioning.

The combination of lightweight construction and a short head length is particularly beneficial during repetitive fastening and installation work.

18V Cordless Convenience:

The Bosch GSB 18V-52 operates on an 18V lithium-ion battery system, providing cordless freedom for drilling and fastening applications.

This allows users to work in locations where direct access to mains electricity may be inconvenient.

As a bare-tool version, it is particularly suitable for users who already own compatible Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers.
