Overview

The Bosch GBH 18V-45 C Professional BITURBO is a true powerhouse among cordless rotary hammers. Built for heavy-duty drilling and chiselling in concrete, stone, and masonry, it delivers the performance of a corded SDS-Max tool while offering complete cordless freedom. It’s part of Bosch’s high-end BITURBO Brushless range and works best with ProCORE18V batteries, delivering outstanding runtime and power.
Key Features
1. Cordless Power Equal to Corded Performance
Thanks to Bosch’s BITURBO Brushless motor technology and ProCORE battery system, this drill achieves up to 12.5 J of impact energy, rivalling many corded SDS-Max hammers. It provides serious drilling force for large-diameter holes and tough materials without needing a mains connection.
2. Long-Lasting Power Supply
The kit typically includes two 12.0 Ah ProCORE18V batteries, offering extended runtime and ensuring that the tool can handle full-day professional workloads. These batteries are backward-compatible with other Bosch 18V tools, making them a practical investment.
3. Advanced Safety and Control
Equipped with KickBack Control, the drill automatically stops if the bit jams, protecting the user from sudden torque reaction. The Electronic Precision Control (EPC) and Adaptive Speed Control (ASC) ensure smooth starts and precise control during drilling and chiselling operations.
4. Efficient, Balanced Design
Despite its strength, the GBH 18V-45 C is designed for comfort and balance. Weighing around 8 kg (without battery) and 9.3 kg with battery, it’s lighter than comparable corded SDS-Max models. The ergonomic handle design and optimised centre of gravity make it easier to manage during longer tasks.
5. Smart Connectivity Options
The drill supports Bosch’s Bluetooth connectivity module, allowing tool customisation, service reminders, and performance tracking via the Bosch Toolbox app.
