Bosch GBH 18V-36 C Professional 500 RPM SDS Max 5.1 kg Black, Blue

The Bosch GBH 18V-36 C Professional is a cordless perforator designed for professional use where powerful impact drilling and portability are required. Equipped with a brushless motor, this SDS Max rotary hammer delivers up to 500 RPM no-load speed and an impact rate of 2,900 bpm, enabling effective chiselling and drilling in concrete and masonry. The tool accepts standard SDS Max accessories and can drill holes up to 3.5 cm in concrete while maintaining a compact, battery-powered form factor. At 5.1 kg and finished in Bosch’s blue and black colours, the unit balances durability with mobility on job sites.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides efficient power delivery and reduced maintenance compared with brushed designs, while the cordless 18V platform offers freedom of movement without trailing cables. The SDS Max chuck enables fast, secure bit changes suitable for heavy-duty masonry work. High impact energy and a 2,900 bpm rate support effective material removal and chiselling, and the 3.5 cm concrete drilling capability covers common anchor and fixing tasks. The tool’s weight and ergonomic layout are engineered to support extended professional use.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and fixing holes in concrete and masonry

How to use

Install a fully charged 18V battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the chosen SDS Max bit is clean and undamaged before inserting it into the chuck until it locks. Select the appropriate mode if the tool has multiple functions; for drilling in concrete use the rotary hammer/impact setting. Start at a low speed to position the bit, then increase to the working speed while applying steady, even pressure; avoid forcing the tool. After completing work, allow the tool to run briefly at no-load to clear debris, then remove the battery for storage or transport. Observe ventilation and cooling periods during extended use.

Recommendations

Always use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection and dust extraction or respiratory protection when drilling or chiselling concrete. Choose SDS Max bits rated for the required hole diameter and material, and use compatible Bosch 18V batteries and chargers to ensure optimal performance and safety.
