Bosch 850 W Corded Impact Drill - 13 mm Keyed Chuck, 2-Speed Variable Speed (GSB 19-2 RE)

High-Torque Engineering for Versatile Industrial Drilling

 

The Bosch GSB 19-2 RE Professional is a powerhouse in the corded impact category, specifically engineered for the high-torque demands of South African industrial and construction sites. Powered by a high-performance 850 W motor, this drill is built for endurance, featuring a robust stacked metal gear housing that ensures maximum tool longevity even under heavy loads.

This model excels in versatility with its mechanical 2-speed gearbox, allowing operators to toggle between high-speed precision and high-torque power. To ensure uncompromising safety, it is equipped with a mechanical Rotation Control Clutch, which prevents sudden kickback if the bit binds in tough materials. With its variable speed pre-selection and ergonomic slimline design, the GSB 19-2 RE provides the reliability and control required for consistent performance in masonry, metal, and timber.

 

Key Features

• Mechanical 2-Speed Gearbox: Optimized for rapid drilling at high speeds and heavy-duty work at high torque.

• Rotation Control Clutch: Anti-rotation mechanical safety system that protects the user by disengaging the motor if the bit jams.

• Heavy-Duty Keyed Chuck: 13 mm industrial-grade chuck provides a secure, non-slip grip for high-vibration impact tasks.

• Speed Pre-selection: Features a setting wheel for adjusting the speed to suit different materials and application types.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is this drill better for concrete than a Rotary Hammer? This is a high-performance Impact Drill, which is excellent for brick and light masonry. For heavy-duty structural concrete drilling above 18 mm, an SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer would be more efficient.

2. Why should I choose the Keyed Chuck version? The keyed chuck is preferred for industrial applications where bit slippage is a risk. It allows you to manually tighten the bit with a key, ensuring it stays locked during high-torque 1st-gear tasks.

3. Does this model have a safety clutch? Yes, it features a mechanical Rotation Control Clutch (Anti-Rotation) that prevents the tool from twisting out of your hands if the drill bit gets snagged.
