Check price on AmazonAffiliate link
Bosch Professional names its combi drills GSB, followed by the voltage and a model number, and a higher number generally means a stronger tool. The 18V-110 C listing adds Bluetooth connectivity for app based settings. Every model runs on the same blue 18 V batteries, which are also shared with other AMPShare brands, so moving up the range does not mean changing platform. The choice comes down to torque and kit. The GSB 18V-45 is the compact entry model for home and light trade use. The GSB 18V-90 C adds more torque and switchable kickback control. The GSB 18V-110 C is the heavy duty option for augers and large hole saws. This guide compares the three models available in this selection using the torque, speed, chuck and box contents in each listing. The GSB 18V-150 C was not available here, so it is not covered. Check whether a listing is a full kit or a bare tool before comparing.

No. 2 · Bosch Professional

No. 3 · Bosch Professional
GSB 18V-45: compact 45 Nm kit with two 2.0 Ah packs
A light Bosch Professional brushless hammer drill with two 2 Ah packs, charger and case. Its short head and low weight suit shelves, fixings and flat-pack.
In its favour
- At 920 g with a 174 mm head length, the listing describes one of the lightest 18 V drills here.
- Brushless motor and a 13 mm metal chuck are listed, so bits hold firmly.
- AMPShare batteries also fit tools from several other brands in the alliance.
Good to know
- Single speed only according to the listing, so slow driving of large screws needs a gentle trigger.
- Two 2.0 Ah packs are enough for home jobs but small for long sessions.
