The Bosch HDS182 18-Volt Brushless 1/2-Inch Compact Tough Hammer Drill/Driver is equipped with innovative features that enable it to perform the broadest range of heavy-duty applications with unmatched performance and durability. With an innovative brushless motor and improved electronics, this tool lasts twice as long as previous generations of the same product type. A maintenance-free motor is protected from overload by an Electronic Motor Protection system that is individually customized for each user, extending the life of the drill/driver even further. The HDS182 is more durable and powerful than ever before, outperforming competitors in heavy-duty applications while still providing unrivaled control as the most compact tool in its class, according to the manufacturer. Because of increased demand from users for increased power, the HDS182 provides optimized torque for screw driving while also delivering increased speed (up to 1,700 RPMs) for drilling applications; in addition, the HDS182 includes an additional hammer drill function for drilling in brick and block. This tool also includes a variable speed trigger for reliable speed regulation, as well as 18+1 clutch settings for increased versatility and adaptability. With a head length of only 7-2/5-inches, the HDS182 has the shortest overall length among its competitors. Additionally, the HDS182 is equipped with a 1/2-Inch auto lock chuck, which allows for convenient clamping of drill bits and other accessories. For maximum jobsite efficiency, the HDS182 is equipped with a magnetic four-tip bit holder as well as a belt clip that allows for convenient tool storage when the tool is not in use, as standard. The HDS182 is constructed to withstand the rigors of a construction site, thanks to its Dura shield housing and built-in LED light that illuminates any working area. In the HDS182BL Kit, you’ll find an 18-Volt Brushless 1/2-Inch Compact Tough Hammer Drill/Driver (batteries not included), a 4X Bit Tip Holder, a 4 Piece Bit Tip Set, a Magnetic Bit Tip Holder, a Belt Clip, and an L-BOXX-2 carrying case with an Exact-Fit Tool Insert Tray, which are all part of a stackable storage system designed to improve tool organization and transportation on the jo.
A bit pack was supposed to be included with this drill/driver when I ordered it, but it was missing from the box and appeared to have been used before I received it. In addition, the Bosch packaging was bent and crinkled, and there were scratches on the drill’s body and on the L-box as well.
