Bosch GBH 185-LI SDS-Plus Cordless Rotary Hammer Bare Tool

Impact energy of 1.9 J indicates the amount of energy delivered with each hammer blow. Paired with a high BPM (up to 4,675) and a solid no-load rpm (up to 1,050), it provides efficient material removal for concrete and masonry tasks.

The SDS-Plus chuck allows fast, tool-free bit changes with secure bit seating. This reduces downtime between bits and minimizes bit slippage during heavy chiseling or drilling, boosting overall productivity.

The tool is optimized for drilling concrete in the 4–22 mm range. For smaller holes or larger holes beyond this range, consider a different bit size or tool suited to the job.

Key safety features include KickBack Control to reduce tool reaction on bit binding and Vibration Control to minimize operator fatigue during extended use.

The bare tool weighs approximately 2.3 kg (without battery). It has an ergonomic, compact design for better handling in tight spaces. Adding a battery will increase weight, but the balance is intended to stay comfortable during extended use.

No-load speed reaches up to 1,050 rpm, and the impact rate can go up to 4,675 bpm, enabling fast drilling and material removal when used with appropriate bits.

Yes. This is a bare tool designed to be compatible with Bosch’s 18V battery system. You can pair it with your existing Bosch 18V batteries and chargers.

To install a bit: 1) insert the SDS-Plus bit into the chuck and push firmly until it seats with a secure click; 2) release the chuck sleeve to lock the bit in place. To remove, pull back the sleeve and withdraw the bit. Ensure the tool is off and unplugged if testing without a battery.

Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask when drilling or chiseling. Secure the workpiece, avoid forcing the tool, use two-handed grip, keep hands away from the chuck area, and ensure proper ventilation in dusty environments. Allow the tool to cool if it begins to overheat.

Being a bare tool, the GBH 185-LI ships without a battery or charger. You will receive the bare tool, the SDS-Plus chuck, a user manual, and any included quick-change accessories shown in the product listing for the bare tool version.
