Are these the same drill?

Effectively yes. Both are Bosch 18V brushless drill/drivers with 400 in-lbs of torque, a 1/2 in keyless chuck, 0-1,900 RPM and 20 clutch settings. The difference is what comes in the box and the price.

Is the GSR18V-400B22 worth $40 more?

If you need a spare battery, yes. A second 2 Ah Bosch battery alone usually costs more than the $40 gap, and the kit adds a charger and bag. If one battery covers your work, the $59.00 kit is the better value.

How many batteries come with the cheaper kit?

The listing is inconsistent: the specs say two batteries, but the battery field says one. Confirm with the seller before ordering, since that changes the value comparison.

Which is better for overhead or cabinet work?

Both. They share the same 6.3 in head length and compact body, so reach and balance are the same. Pick on battery count and price, not handling.

The tools are the same brushless design, so tool life should match. The kit with two batteries lets you rotate packs, which is easier on each battery over time.

Can I use my existing Bosch 18V batteries?

Yes. Both are Bosch 18V tools and take the same lithium-ion packs, so older Bosch 18V batteries and chargers work with either.

Bosch GSR18V-400B22 Drill/Driver Kit vs Bosch 18V Brushless Drill/Driver Kit

These are the same Bosch 18V brushless drill: 400 in-lbs of torque, 1/2 in keyless chuck, 0-1,900 RPM, 20 clutch settings, 6.3 in head length. The GSR18V-400B22 kit is the better buy for most people because it includes two 2 Ah batteries, a charger and a bag for $99.90 at eBay as of November 7, 2026. The other kit is $59.00 at Lowe's as of November 7, 2026 and lists only one battery, so the $40 gap buys you a spare battery and a bag. Buy the cheaper kit only if one battery covers your work.

Today the Bosch 18V Brushless Drill/Driver Kit costs $40.90 less at its best price.
