With the AdvancedDrill 18 and the AdvancedImpact 18 from Bosch, DIY enthusiasts are now able to screw and drill powerfully, while operating the tool easily and intuitively. The powerful 18-volt cordless drill/driver and combi drill feature a new operating concept: with just one click DIY enthusiasts can now electronically change their screwdriver’s rotation direction – both on the right and left-hand side of the tool. The selected setting can simply be viewed from green LED arrows on the back of the tool. The forward arrow indicates right rotation, the backward arrow left rotation. If the tool goes unused for a prolonged period, it automatically switches back to right rotation direction and thus to the main application. In addition, both tools use self-explanatory symbols to display the correct mode − screwdriving, drilling and also impact drilling in the case of the AdvancedImpact 18. Pre-selecting the speed is also easier: It can be continuously adjusted via a minimum-to-maximum scale. This minimizes application errors and makes work easier. With a weight of only around one kilogram and an ergonomic handle, both screwdrivers fit comfortably in your hand. This compact design is made possible by the brushless motor, which also makes the tools longer-lasting and maintenance-free.
