Hammer drill/driver

The 15618 18V BruteTough hammer drill/ driver runs 500 rpm faster, delivers 50 inch-pounds more torque and offers a two-times increase in bpm compared to the Bosch 13618-2G it replaces. The company says the 15618 drills up to 35 percent faster than the competition in wood and up to 63 percent faster in masonry, concrete and sheet metal; the patented BlueCore battery pack gives users up to 89 percent more run time. All metal planetary gears withstand even the most rigorous real-world operating conditions. Unibody construction maintains alignment between clutch, gear train and motor for the most durable drivetrain system on the market. Bosch’s DuraShield housing, combined with a battery-to-tool interface and a new metal collar around the chuck assembly, ensure that these tools can withstand real-world punishment and continue to deliver trouble-free service.
