Best Bosch combi drill

Updated: 22 October 2026

You want the best Bosch combi drill for the person holding it, not one winner for every shed. A 4.7 on a 40 Nm kit is not the same tool as a 4.7 on a 110 Nm body, and a bare body is not cheaper until a pack and a charger are priced. These ten amazon.co.uk rows are the capture of 19 October 2026: shelf prices, stars, scope lines, and Bosch GB pages where the table conflicts. There was no lab test. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Prices and the full rows sit on the [Bosch combi drill comparison](/hub/drilling-and-accessories/bosch-combi-drill).

A first drill wants a kit and a 13 mm chuck

With no Bosch batteries, use an EasyImpact 18V-40: 40 Nm, 13 mm, impact drilling stated, AL 18V-20 and a case. One 1.5 Ah pack is about £64.97, model 06039D8170, 4.7 from 631 reviews. The job waits when it is flat. Two 2.0 Ah packs are about £75.23, 4.7 from 517, less here than two 1.5 Ah packs at about £83.64, 4.7 from 650. One buyer of that dearer kit reported wires coming away after a repair return. Tables that print CR2032 or Impact Driver disagree with the scope line. The 18V-38 at about £76.50 is a 10 mm chuck.

Stay on green if the packs are already green

A POWER FOR ALL pack will not run a GSB. On a green shelf the step-up is the UniversalImpact 18 or the AdvancedImpact 18V-80. The foot is the Bosch green or blue drill page. The UniversalImpact 18, 06039D4170, is about £103.21, 34 Nm, 4.5 from 151 reviews. Reviews say the chuck loosens, brick is beyond it, and one gearbox crunched on day one. Do not copy 18V-60 figures onto it. The AdvancedImpact 18V-80 is about £139, 82 Nm, brushless, 13 mm, 4.4 from 26 reviews, and one buyer could not release the battery.

A blue body is a saving only when the pack is owned

The four blue rows are bodies. The GSB 18V-25 at about £48.95 is cardboard. Bosch lists 21/56/60 Nm and 1.5–13 mm. Amazon prints 45 Nm, 10 mm and brushless, a UK review title says brushed, and green packs do not fit. The GSB 18V-65 at about £84.99 is 4.7 from 35 reviews: 65 Nm in a bullet, 55 Nm in the table, and 175 mm is the head length. The 110 C is about £149.99 in cardboard, 4.6 from 222, or about £186 with an L-BOXX, 4.7 from 795. Both are 110 Nm, 13 mm and no pack. Bosch rates 16 mm in masonry. The cardboard chuck draws complaints. Gears are on how to use a Bosch combi drill.

Same stars, different tools

Four rows sit at 4.7 and they are not one tool: 631 reviews at 40 Nm, 517 reviews at the same 40 Nm, 35 reviews on the GSB 18V-65, and 795 reviews on the L-BOXX 110 C with no battery. The two 1.5 Ah EasyImpact, 4.7 from 650, is dearer here than the two 2.0 Ah kit. Read the model and the chuck before the stars. The prices are the amazon.co.uk capture of 19 October 2026.

Common questions

Which of these listings is for a first Bosch drill?
The EasyImpact 18V-40 kits. About £64.97 if one 1.5 Ah pack is enough, or about £75.23 for two 2.0 Ah packs. Skip the about £48.95 GSB body until you own a Professional pack, and skip the 10 mm EasyImpact 18V-38 if your bits need 13 mm.
Which listing is for someone who already owns green packs?
Stay on EasyImpact, UniversalImpact or AdvancedImpact. If the packs are already charged, the AdvancedImpact 18V-80 at about £139 is the higher-torque green kit in this set, at 82 Nm, with only 26 reviews. The UniversalImpact 18 at about £103.21 is the one reviewers say is weak on brick. Do not buy a GSB to use those green packs.
Which listing is for someone who already owns blue packs?
A GSB body, and you still check that the box is empty. The L-BOXX GSB 18V-110 C at about £186 is the 110 Nm row with 795 reviews. The cardboard twin at about £149.99 has chuck complaints. The about £48.95 GSB 18V-25 is a body only, and Amazon’s brushless line does not match the Bosch GB block.
Is the about £48.95 body the cheapest way to get a Bosch combi?
Only if a Professional 18 V pack and charger are already yours. Otherwise the EasyImpact 18V-40 at about £64.97 includes the pack, the AL 18V-20 charger and a case. A bare GSB that cannot click onto a green battery is not a completed purchase.
What is the difference between the two GSB 18V-110 C listings?
Both are 110 Nm bodies with a 13 mm chuck and no pack. B083QM7PLT is model 06019G0309 at about £149.99 in cardboard, 4.6 from 222 reviews, and UK reviews say the chuck loosens. B083QMJR8Y is model 06019G030A at about £186 with L-BOXX 136, 4.7 from 795 reviews. They are two boxes, not two torque classes.
Why is the UniversalImpact 18 dearer than an EasyImpact kit?
In this capture it is about £103.21 against EasyImpact 18V-40 kits at about £64.97, about £75.23 and about £83.64. It is the older 34 Nm model 06039D4170, not the later 18V-60, and UK reviews say the chuck loosens and brick is beyond it. The higher sticker is not a higher masonry rating.
