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.

The middle of the GSB range as a full kit: a brushless 64 Nm combi with switchable kickback control, two 4.0 Ah batteries, a charger and a 43 piece bit set.

In its favour:
- Switchable KickBack Control and a switchable precision clutch are listed.

- A 43 piece colour coded screwdriver bit set in S2 modified steel comes with it.

Good to know:
- At 64 Nm it is short of the 110 Nm flagship for large augers.
- The listing does not give a weight or head length.

### 3. Bosch Professional GSB 18V-45 18V System Cordless Hammer Drill (Speed 1,900 min-¹, Includes 2X 2.0Ah Battery, GAL 18V-20, L-Case)

Voltage: 18 V; Max torque: 45 Nm; Weight: 920 g; Batteries in box: 2 x 2.0 Ah

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.
