    Great drill and awesome price.

    If I didn't have a hammer drill already I'd jump on this.

    • +45

      Sounds painful.

    • +6

      I don't think that's covered by the warranty.

  • +3

    Shame would've went for this deal, but the keyed chuck is swaying me away.

    • They can be handy to have alongside sds drill

      • I am thinking of using this to drill holes along the circumference of a large hole on a double brick wall then knock them out with a chisel in order to install a fan extractor. What would the sds dril do? Which one is more versatile? Thanks.

        PS: I am Googling the answer now.

        • +3

          That will take forever, you may end up cracking the wall around the hole from hitting it with a chisel.

          If you value your time just hire the right tool for the job or pay someone to do it.

        • +4

          Best bet would be a decent masonry hole saw, but they aren't cheap, probably better off just getting someone to do it.

          Problem with round holes on brickwork is that the corners of the bricks and mortar will crumble near the edge if you try and drill around the circumference (especially with the hammer action).

          If it was a square hole you could just use an angle grinder with a masonry disc.

        • +1

          Got my answer. Since I already have a set of Bosch 'blue' 18V cordless normal drill and an impact driver, the rotary hammer drill would be more versatile for me to scrap and drill the brick walls around the house.

    • +8

      I've got 2 big hammer drills here that are both still in perfect nick apart from nackered keyless chucks .
      One is a Metabo the other a bosch blue . I'll take a keyed chuck in a hammer drill any day .

      • Agreed. They are the HQ of chucks

    • UNcleMurphy, what's the disadvantage with a keyed chuck?

      • Mainly ackwardness, and losing the key. I prefer a key system too.

        • +6

          You tie it around the power cord.

        • thanks ggrant and supabrudda

    • +1

      This isn't a rotary hammer is an impact hammer drill. Huge difference.

      • Yes. Rotary hammer all the way, after trying one after using hammer drills could not go back. Goes through concrete like butter.

    • You can use keyed chucks same as keyless, just use your callused hand

  • +1

    Can anyone pls recommend a good bit set to use with this?

    • +1

      What do you want to drill?

    • -1
      • Hi, I work only just up the road from you. I've emailed you on your website. Can I pop in Monday, pay and pick up. Cheers!

      • Agreed. I bought a Sutton drill bit from Bunnings; it went through brick like hot butter but was the wrong size. So I got some cheapies from Bunnings in the right size (1/4 the cost for a few of them) and they quickly wore out after one or two holes. I didn't actually understand what was going on until it started to get dark and I couldn't get the third hole done.

        Half an hour later… I tried another bit… and it quickly went through but yeah they're not durable.

        I'm not a DIY person so I didn't know stuff like this happens. Wish I'd just gotten another Sutton the first time (but they were sooo expensive; like $40 vs $10).

      • Do both for $100 you have a deal

        • +4

          I'm taking this guy Car Shopping next time!

        • I'd happily pay $200 for the set - how about it?

  • Thanks, finally bit the bullet on a proper hammer drill. Have a green multipurpose but the hammer function has never worked well for me. Although could be the crappy bits I have. Time to buy decent masonry bits too I guess. 1 decent 6.5mm for green plugs enough for 99% of DIY jobs?

    • Have a green multipurpose but the hammer function has never worked well for me.

      The green Bosch are a toy compared to blue.

      Green is ok for DIY or basic stuff, but it's not professional quality like Bosch blue.

      Although could be the crappy bits I have.

      More than likely, better off with good bits and a mediocre drill than the other way around.

      • I have a Bosch green handed down to me, was bought before 1986 and used by a tradesman up until around 1997, prior to myself for diy but it gets used a lot (2 Reno's in that time), still going strong 30 years later. Maybe green isn't what it used to be, but absolutely nothing wrong with. I don't know how much better than that it really be an be

        • +1

          Apart from being green, not even close to comparable. Todays green is their cheap trying to be competitive with $40 odd brand alternatives, while still making the tradie stuff, now blue.

        • Today's Green tools does not live up to the reputable name Bosch built over the time.

      As a quick fix try clearing your cache.

    OP, any upcoming deals on a Bosch blue GOP multi tool?

    • Do you have any model numbers in mind?

      • +5

        250 or 300.

        BTW, it must be great working in a tool shop, I love tools.

        Tool shops are right up for me with porn stores.

        • Tool shops are right up for me with porn stores

          What? There's a difference?! No wonder I walk funny the days.

  • Awesome deal. Thanks to OP for sharing. My old (green) Bosch rechargeable drill has a pretty rubbish battery and it's always dead whenever I want to use it. Have been looking for a good deal on a corded drill for some time now. This ticks that box, plus a few others, all at a lower price than I paid for my last drill.

  • +3

    Looks like this deal for professionals is going to get hammered.

  • -1

    What can I do with this?

    • +2

      Use it to drill into your Eneloops and Nespresso pods.

  • +1

    Bought the Bosch GSB 19-2 RE Professional impact drill from Bunnings early last year through Ozbargain, for the same price.

    It's an absolute monster - amazing quality, and will do anything that I will possibly need!

    Have to agree with earlier comments - a keyed chuck is far better in this type of drill. It's not really an inconvenience when you consider how often you would probably use it.

    You need a lighter cordless drill for general work - I have a Hitachi DS18DJL 18v, which works fine for all general work around the place.

  • Confused. Impact or hammer drill? Or dual function?

    • I think they're the same thing.

      • -2

        They're not. This is a hammer drill.

        • Yes, impact drills and hammer drills are the same thing. Impact drivers are different.

    • +2

      Impact driver uses hammer action in rotation as an aid to torque.
      Hammer drill/impact drill applies hammer action in up and down manner to assist with drilling holes into hard substrates like concrete or brick

  • Thanks OP. Bought one. I was looking for one under $100. Finally got it in my budget.

  • Does drill connect to a powercord? Also can it be used for other general purposes? I.e. drilling to normal gyprock, wood, etc, or only concrete/brick walls? Can this drill also screw things together? Sorry for all the questions, don't know a lot about drills but have been looking for a general multi purpose one to have on hand at home.

    • Hey mate yea this is a corded drill so you may an extension cord. The drill can be used for any kind of drilling it's a bit overkill for smaller jobs seeing as it's a medium sized drill. Which also goes for screwing you can use it to drive in screws/bolts but it's a bit heavy and big to be a go to tool for that job.

      • +1

        Yeah agree my theory is to have two drills - a light weight cordless drill for small jobs and one like this bosch for heavy duty jobs.

    • Does drill connect to a powercord?

      It has a mains lead, you just can't see it in the picture.

      drilling to normal gyprock, wood, etc, or only concrete/brick walls?

      Yes, it will drill wood and steel etc, there is a switch for normal drilling and for hammer drilling (concrete/brick).

      Can this drill also screw things together?

      You could, but you wouldn't want to, it's too big and bulky for screwing things in.

      Just buy a decent cordless for screwing things.

    • +1

      for plasterboard, you don't need an impact drill.

    • +1

      Yes it connects to power, doesn't run on a battery.

      They're mainly used for drilling hard surfaces like bricks, concrete etc. You wouldn't use it to screw things together.

      • In the Bosch video the chuck must scratch the top of the towel rail holder.
        When drilling with a hole saw best to come from either side otherwise risk splintering.
        Same observation as commenter below drill looks buckled..
        Having said all this still looks like a good drill, mostly user error.
        I'd buy one if didn't already have 2 others.

    • For screwing anything together get a drill driver like
      https://www.makita.com.au/products/power-tools/drilling-a-fa…
      You will strip far less screw heads then using the above.
      I started off with most of my tools corded till i came across good cordless bargains.

    Cheers. Bought.

    Was looking for something to replace the faithful Ozito thats done a fair job til now

  • Website is buckled

  • -2
    • It's a lesser model probably one model below.

      • I see…650w vs 800w…but it makes me wonder how the $249 original price is true…

        • This drills model number is GSB 20-2 RE KC

          Bunnings drill is model number GSB 13 RE KLC

          Type the model number of this deal into google sydneytools is selling the drill for $239

          If you would have bothered to look the bunnings drill is smaller and lighter and has a smaller engine. Bunnings drill also has a Keyless chuck.

        • @aussieprepper:
          So which is better leaving the price aside

  • Any deals on the drill driver?

  • Any deals on some drill bits but not more than the drill is worth

    • Can't go wrong with Irwin and Kango selling at Bunnings based on my relatively shallow DIY experience. Drill bits are consumables and meant to be replaced over time.

    last time i bought from these guys, cause it was "cheap" and had free shipping, the item was already opened and used.

    • Thanks for the warning!

    • I have bought from them twice and had top notch experiences both times. YMMV I guess.

    I'm looking for a new drill, and want to get something that is good quality (but not too exxy - just for DIY stuff), but I'm looking for a cordless.

    This is a hammer drill, not perforator. Will not drill concrete and will overheat drill bits.

    I'm not sure how professional it is. No profi is going to buy a hammer drill.

    • This video says it can
      https://youtu.be/q_bJDCnyH-I

      Won't do as well as a rotary hammer but still looks good for an impact drill.

      • Yeah been there not fun. Use a proper tool.

      • Watched the video. They don't drill concrete, they drill bricks, tiles and lightweight concrete.

    • You understand that the issue here is heat. Why don't you squirt some water into the hole to reduce heat?

      If you used diamond tools you definitely have to cool with water.

      Beware of electrocution.

      • The issue is not heat, heat is a byproduct of rotating the drill bit more than hammering. In fact, there's no hammer inside it's just a ratchet to make vibrations.

        Again, try rotary hammer and you will never again take a hammer drill in your hands to drill concrete.

        Also, I stand by my claim no professional is going to buy a hammer drill.

        • Pretty sure many tradesmen use hammer drills.

  • It's a good drill, however, if you're going to be be drill a large number of holes, consider getting a SDS rotary hammer drill, so much faster and easier.

  • Any idea when these will be shipped
