Is the GSR 18V-65 worth it over a cheaper DIY drill?

For regular trade use, yes: 76 Nm and a metal 13-mm chuck hold up better than budget drills. For occasional home jobs, a smaller 12V or 18V DIY drill costs less and does the same work.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

Most listings are bare tool only, so check the listing before buying. If you already own Bosch Professional 18V batteries, the bare tool is the cheaper route.

Can it drill into brick or concrete?

No. It is a drill driver with no hammer function. For masonry you need a hammer drill such as the Bosch GSB 18V-55 or a rotary hammer.

How does it compare with the GSR 18V-60?

The 18V-65 has more torque (76 Nm hard versus about 60 Nm) and a shorter head. If you mostly drive small screws, the older model is lighter and cheaper.

What chuck does it have?

A 13-mm keyless chuck that takes bits from 1.5 mm to 13 mm. It is a metal chuck, not the plastic one found on DIY models.

When is the price lowest?

Bare-tool prices drop during Bosch promotions and around Black Friday. Kit prices with two batteries move less, so compare the bare tool plus a battery you already own.

Our take on the Bosch Professional GSR 18V-65

The Bosch Professional GSR 18V-65 is a cordless 18V drill driver in Bosch's blue Professional line, aimed at tradespeople rather than home DIY. It delivers up to 76 Nm of hard torque and 63 Nm soft, with a two-speed gearbox (0–550 and 0–2,100 rpm), a 13-mm keyless chuck and 20 clutch settings. The body weighs 1.06 kg without battery and is 166 mm long, so it fits into tight cabinet and framing work. It ships as a bare tool in most listings, so the battery and charger usually decide the real cost.
