Bosch GBH 18V-34 CF Professional 500 U/min SDS Plus 5,9 kg nero, blu

The Bosch GBH 18V-34 CF Professional is a pistol grip drill with a brushless motor and an SDS Plus chuck, designed to deliver consistent drilling performance for professional applications. With a maximum idle speed of 500 RPM, the tool is capable of drilling up to 40 mm in wood and up to 13 mm in steel. The drill is battery powered, weighs 5.9 kg and is supplied in a black-and-blue design. It is engineered to combine power and mobility for on-site and workshop use.

Advantages

The brushless motor improves efficiency and reduces maintenance compared with brushed alternatives, contributing to longer runtime and a more compact design. The SDS Plus chuck enables quick bit changes and stable retention for hammer drilling tasks. A maximum idle speed of 500 RPM provides controlled rotational speed for larger-diameter drilling, while the cordless battery design removes limitations related to cable access. The weight of 5.9 kg balances robustness and manageability for repeated use.

How to use

Fit the appropriate SDS Plus bit for the material and application, ensuring the bit is correctly seated in the chuck. Select the required speed and drilling mode before starting; begin drilling with steady, even pressure and allow the tool to reach operating speed. For larger holes in wood or steel, use progressive pressure and clear debris frequently to maintain cutting efficiency. Always follow manufacturer guidance for battery installation and charging procedures.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves. Match the bit type to the material (wood, steel, masonry) and avoid excessive side load on the drill to prolong gearbox and chuck life. Allow the battery to charge fully and follow Bosch battery care instructions to optimize runtime and service life.
