Our take on the Bosch 18V Connected-Ready Sds-Plus Bulldog 1-1/8In Rotary Hammer With 2Ct Core18V 8Ah Batteries

The Bosch GBH18V-28C is an 18V brushless SDS-plus rotary hammer with 1-1/8 in capacity and 2.6 ft-lbs of impact energy, at 7.3 lbs bare. It targets tradespeople who drill and chisel concrete away from outlets: the cordless Bulldog line trades some raw power for portability against corded SDS-plus hammers. Bosch's KickBack Control, anti-vibration system, Vario-Lock chisel positioning and an on-tool display set it apart from simpler cordless rivals. The Bluetooth tool module is sold separately, and the kit ships with two CORE18V 8 Ah batteries.

What reviewers say

Owners of the cordless Bulldog line generally rate the brushless motor, low vibration and kickback safety highly for anchor and overhead work. The recurring complaints are weight with a large battery and the add-on cost of the connectivity module and dust attachment.

What people mention
  • VibrationPraisedOwners say the anti-vibration system keeps long drilling sessions comfortable.
  • Kickback safetyPraisedKickBack Control is cited as a real confidence boost when a bit binds.
  • WeightCriticisedWith a CORE18V 8 Ah battery mounted, users find it heavy for extended overhead work.

Questions and answers

Is this rotary hammer powerful enough for concrete anchors?
Yes. Its 2.6 ft-lbs of impact energy and 1-1/8 in SDS-plus capacity handle typical anchor and through-hole drilling in concrete. For sustained large-diameter coring, a corded hammer is the better tool.
Do I need the Bluetooth module to use the app modes?
Yes. The Connectivity Tool Module is sold separately; without it the Auto, Favorite and Soft modes can't be customized through the Bosch Toolbox app. The tool still works as a standard rotary hammer.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes the GBH18V-28C hammer, two CORE18V 8 Ah batteries and an 18V charger. The dust collection attachment and connectivity module are not included.
Can it chisel as well as drill?
Yes. Vario-Lock lets you rotate and lock the chisel at the angle you need for light chipping and demolition work.
Does it take standard SDS-plus bits?
Yes, it uses the SDS-plus chuck system, so standard SDS-plus drill bits and chisels fit.
How does it compare with a corded Bulldog?
The cordless version gives you jobsite mobility and no cord, but corded Bulldog models deliver more impact energy for heavy, continuous drilling.

  • About the Bosch 18V Connected-Ready Sds-Plus Bulldog 1-1/8In Rotary Hammer With 2Ct Core18V 8Ah Batteries

    The Bosch GBH18V-28C is an 18V brushless SDS-plus Bulldog rotary hammer with a 1-1/8 in. capacity. It delivers 2.6 ft.-lbs. of impact energy (EPTA) and weighs 7.3 lbs. without the battery. The brushless motor maximizes battery runtime.

    KickBack Control technology helps reduce the risk of sudden tool reactions in binding conditions. An anti-vibration system adds comfort during extended work. The L-shaped design gives better control for both overhead and horizontal drilling. The 360-degree side handle offers a variety of grip positions, and Vario-Lock rotates and locks the chisel.

    Bluetooth connectivity works with the free Bosch Toolbox app on a connected device, once the Connectivity Tool Module (sold separately) is added. The app lets you customize one of three working modes: Auto, Favorite or Soft. An on-tool display shows tool performance for immediate feedback and control. The hammer is compatible with the GDE18V-16 Dust Collection Attachment (sold separately) for drilling overhead into concrete.
