- Does the GSR18V-975CN come with a battery?
- No. It is a bare tool, so you need a Bosch 18V battery and charger. If you already own Bosch 18V packs, you only pay for the drill.
- What does "Connected-Ready" add?
- It pairs with the Bosch Toolbox app over Bluetooth. You can adjust speed and torque settings, set kickback control, and check tool usage from your phone.
- Is it worth $159 at Lowe's?
- That is a fair bare-tool price for a brushless 1/2 in. drill with app tuning. It makes sense if you already have Bosch 18V batteries; otherwise add the cost of a battery and charger.
- How does it compare with a compact 18V drill?
- It is bigger and heavier, built for tougher drilling and driving. A compact drill is easier for overhead work and light assembly.
- What is in the box?
- The drill/driver, a belt clip and the operator's manual. Battery, charger and case are sold separately.
- When is it cheapest?
- Cordless drills usually drop during holiday sales and spring tool events. Watch the price history here rather than assuming one store's price is the low point.
- Where is the Bosch GSR18V-975CN 18V Brushless Connected-Ready 1/2 In. Drill/Driver (Bare Tool) cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $159.00, as of our latest check.
