Best Bosch cordless combi drill

Updated: 22 October 2026

Ten Bosch cordless combi drills are easy to sort by stars and still easy to buy for the wrong cupboard.

Best first kit if you own no Bosch batteries

With no Bosch packs, buy a complete green kit. The top pick is the EasyImpact 18V-40 with two 2.0 Ah packs, charger AL 18V-20 and a case, at about £75.23 with 4.7 from 517 reviews. It prints 40 Nm, a 13 mm chuck and impact drilling in masonry. Power is modest once the job leaves light workshop work. One 1.5 Ah pack is about £64.97 with 4.7 from 631 reviews, the best value box if you can wait to charge. Two 1.5 Ah packs are about £83.64 with 4.7 from 650 reviews, dearer here than the two 2.0 Ah kit. Skip the green kit if your other tools are already blue. The order of the criteria is the Bosch cordless combi drill buying guide.

Best green upgrade if you already have POWER FOR ALL packs

Once green packs are on the shelf, you are paying for the tool. The bare AdvancedImpact 18V-80 QuickSnap at about £92.99 is the upgrade: brushless, 82 Nm, a 13 mm chuck, 4.5 from 63 reviews, and no battery in the scope line. Buyers say masonry felt stronger than on a smaller multi-drill, and the extra torque over-drives a screw if the clutch stays high. The kit at about £139.00 adds a 2.5 Ah pack, with 4.4 from 26 reviews, and one buyer could not release the battery. If you already own PBA packs, price the bare body. Skip the UniversalImpact 18 at about £103.21 for this upgrade: 34 Nm, and UK reviews say the chuck loosens.

Best blue tool if you already have Professional packs

With Professional packs already charged, start from the GSB 18V-65 body at about £84.99. Bullets say brushless, KickBack Control and 65 Nm, and the box is an L-BOXX. The table also prints 55 Nm, and a 175 mm cell that is the head length. The GSB 18V-110 C at about £149.99 is for the 110 Nm listing only after you have read the chuck reviews: 222 reviews include a crunchy chuck, a bit that falls out, and a chuck that then jams. It has no battery. The GSB 18V-25 at the same price is the kit when you want two 4.0 Ah packs and you do not own them yet. Skip it if those packs would be green. One buyer returned it for that fit. The colour rule is the Bosch green vs blue combi drill page.

What to skip even if the stars are high

Stars here run from 4.4 to 4.7, so they do not separate a first kit from a body you cannot charge. Skip the AdvancedImpact kit as the best Bosch on 82 Nm alone: 26 reviews and one jammed battery release sit next to EasyImpact kits with hundreds of ratings. Skip the GSB 18V-110 C because 110 is the largest number. The chuck complaint is repeated, the battery is excluded, and Bosch still rates it as a combi to 16 mm in masonry, not as a rotary hammer. Skip a GSB 18V-55 or a UniversalImpact 18V-60 as the winner. Neither listing is in the set. A Screwfix shelf at £79.99 is not this amazon.co.uk capture.

Common questions

What is the best Bosch combi drill for a first flat?
With no Bosch batteries, the EasyImpact 18V-40 with two 2.0 Ah packs at about £75.23 is the top pick: a 13 mm chuck, hammer mode stated, a charger and a spare pack. It is the wrong pick if you already own Professional packs. One 1.5 Ah pack at about £64.97 is enough for shelves if you can pause to charge.
Is the AdvancedImpact worth £139?
Only if you have no green packs and you want brushless 82 Nm in one checkout. The sample is 26 reviews, and one buyer could not release the battery. If you already own POWER FOR ALL packs, the bare body at about £92.99 is the closer comparison. Skip 82 Nm for flat-pack screws.
Is the GSB 18V-110 C the best because it is 110 Nm?
No. 110 Nm is the listed torque, and the battery and charger are excluded. UK reviews praise the power and also describe a chuck that drops the bit and jams. It can suit someone who already owns Professional packs and accepts that fault. It is not the best first drill, and it is not an SDS drill.
Should I skip the UniversalImpact because of the chuck reviews?
Skip it if a chuck that loosens is a fault you will not work around. More than one UK reviewer describes the bit falling out. It is also 34 Nm at about £103.21, above cheaper EasyImpact kits with a 13 mm chuck stated.
What should I buy if I already own blue batteries?
Price the GSB 18V-65 body at about £84.99 first, and add nothing for a pack you already own. Move to the GSB 18V-110 C only for the higher listed torque, and only if you accept the chuck complaints. Do not buy a green EasyImpact to use up blue packs. A GSB 18V-25 buyer returned the tool for that fit.
