50 years of battery competence at Bosch Power Tools: First professional cordless hammer drill in the world

By bringing battery technology to the hammer drill GBH 24 V, Bosch was able to meet the needs of professional users in 1984. The cordless hammer drill represented the only way to carry out certain work away from power sockets. Scaffolders, for example, needed the cordless tool to drill holes in the wall high up while electricians required it to affix antennas and lightning conductors. In 1986, Bosch introduced the GBH 24 VR with an additional pivoting handle to make working in various positions easier.
