Our take on the Bosch HDH181BL 18V Brute Tough 1/2 In. Hammer Drill/Driver

The Bosch HDH181BL is an 18V cordless hammer drill/driver built for heavy drilling and driving. Its 4-pole motor delivers 700 in-lbs of torque and two speed ranges up to 1,800 rpm, with a 27,000 bpm hammer mode for masonry. At about 4 lb with a 1/2 in keyless chuck and an L-Boxx case, it sits at the top of Bosch's 18V line and competes with premium brushless hammer drills from Milwaukee and DeWalt. Owners like the power and the tough build; the main complaints are weight and the older brushed motor design.

Questions and answers

Is this a hammer drill or a regular drill?
It is both. A collar switches between drill/driver mode and hammer mode for light masonry.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
The kit includes an 18V lithium-ion battery and the L-Boxx case. Check the listing for whether a charger is bundled.
Can it drill into concrete?
It handles small holes in brick and block. For repeated large holes in poured concrete, a corded rotary hammer is the better tool.
How does it compare with brushless hammer drills?
It matches them on torque but runs shorter per charge and is heavier. Brushless rivals are more efficient and often include a work light.
What size bits does the chuck take?
The 1/2 in keyless chuck takes bits with shanks up to 1/2 in, including hex accessories with an adapter.
Is it good for overhead work?
Its torque helps, but the weight makes long overhead sessions tiring. A lighter compact drill suits that work better.
