Bosch is introducing a new generation of cordless screwdrivers in the 14.4 V and 18 V classes. New models even more powerful, comfortable and durable than previous models. Now available as Standard Series and Advanced Series. The cordless drill/drivers GSR 14,4 V-EC Professional and GSR 18 V-EC Professional as well as the cordless impact drill GSB 14,4 V-EC Professional and GSB 18 V-EC Professional complete the cordless drill series that impresses with high performance in a compact design.

Reduces wear and tear, increases comfort
The cordless drills and cordless impact drills are equipped with the market’s most innovative and unique precision clutch. It prevents over-twisting during screwing: in case of an overload of the clutch, the electronic control immediately stops the motor.
That prevents unnecessary noise from screwdriving, reduces vibration and ensures less wear on the material and the socket itself. The result: less wear and therefore longer tool and accessory service life. Additionally, all screwdrivers are equipped with a robust 13 mm carbide drill chuck.

Full control when drilling and drilling
Two LEDs inform the craftsman when the tool needs to be turned off: a white LED indicates if the tool is blocked, an additional red LED in case of overheating. Professionals are always aware of the condition of the tool. More ergonomic comfort: knurled and soft grip on the handle.
Particularly in overhead work and in narrow and hard-to-reach places, the new models offer an even more secure and comfortable grip. The proven KickBack Control formerly Electronic Rotation Control which is now also available as standard model series, gives you full control over your tools even for the most demanding screwdriving and drilling tasks.
If the integrated sensor detects a sudden blockage during work, e.g. if the drill bit misaligns when drilling in metal or if it hits a hard object in wood or masonry, the motor is stopped within fractions of a second. This prevents a sudden impact and therefore reduces the risk of injury.

The right tool for every application
All models are equipped with a brushless motor, are highly efficient and require no maintenance. EC technology also allows a very compact design: The screwdrivers in the standard series, for instance, have the same body length as a cordless drill driver or a cordless impact drill of the 10.8 V class. That makes the new models ideal for series use and ensures that electricians, locksmiths and carpenters can work quickly and effectively.
The extremely powerful models in the advanced model series with a maximum torque of up to 75 Nm are suitable for the most demanding screwdriving tasks. For optimum control the additional handle with innovative locking: A corrugated profile on the tool and a clamp on the handle ensures a secure, positive locking connection.
Reliable locking of the auxiliary handle is guaranteed even when tools are pressed too hard, for screwdriving, drilling without impact or with a hammer action. Thanks to its innovative locking mechanism, it is quick and easy to mount and dismount and can be locked in 23 different positions. This gives the cordless drill from the top series better control.
The screwdrivers in the standard series and the high-end series are already available from specialist retailers. All tools are available in an L-BOXX-case with two 4.0 or 5.0 Ah batteries and a quick charger.
