Bosch introduces the GBM 13-2 RE Professional, a drill with significantly increased power for higher drilling performance and more precise results. The new tool with its 750 W motor and the increased speed of up to 3,000 rpm in no-load second speed offers considerably higher drilling performance than the previous 550 W model. It is also more compact and has a better grip thanks to the soft grip handle. The core drill is ideal for professionals who have to make lots of roughing and finishing holes every day.
Precision drill chuck
To ensure continued precision even in difficult applications, Bosch now offers a precision drill chuck in addition to a quick-action jaw chuck.
It has an additional clamping ring that holds the drill bit securely in place when carrying out demanding tasks, such as drilling holes in steel with a maximum diameter of 13 mm. The result – precise holes.
Anti-Rotation safety clutch
For full control during any operation the GBM 13-2 RE Professional is equipped with a mechanical safety coupling. The motor switches off automatically if the drill bit becomes misaligned in metal or other hard materials. It minimizes unwanted rotation of the drill bit and protects the user.
Professional use
The GBM 13-2 RE Professional is suitable for a wide range of applications, including drilling holes in steel and wood thanks to its 2-speed gearbox and electronic speed presetting.
Drill holes up to 13 mm in steel and 32 mm in wood in first speed.
The GBM 13-2 RE Professional drills holes of up to 8 mm diameter in steel and 20 mm in wood. High drill speed for powerful drilling performance.
This makes the tool suitable for a multitude of applications: For professional use in the metalworking industry and mechanical engineering, for carpentry and roofing, as well as for plumbing and installation work.
In addition, the GBM 13-2 RE Professional benefits from a high-strength metal gear housing, a swivel cable mount and a 4 m cable length – all of which guarantee comfort and a long tool life even in daily use.
