Bosch Professional 2-Piece Procore 18V Brushless Combo Kit 0615990L24 $399 Delivered / C&C / in-Store @ Bunnings

430

ATL for OzB's favourite 2-piece kit. This price is an absolute ripper. Includes:

  • GSB 18V-85C hammer drill
  • GDX 18V-200C impact wrench/driver (aka Bosch "freak", it takes both 1/4" hex and 1/2" square drive bits and sockets. Older kits had the 200, which is a single speed. Newer kits should have the 200C which has a 3 speed selection button. Even more recent ones have the 210C which has 370Nm loosening torque and self-tapping and timber screw auto modes)
  • 2 X ProCORE18V 8.0Ah Battery
  • 1 X Fast Charger GAL 1880 CV
  • 1 X L-BOXX Carrying Case

The batteries alone retail for $349 currently at Total Tools and Sydney Tools.

Depending on how old the batch for your kit is, you may get lucky and get the newer GDX 18V-210C as the driver/wrench instead of the 200C. The 210C has 370Nm breakaway torque in reverse mode, and has 2 auto-drive modes for self-tapping screws and wood screws. My friend's kit bought some time in April had the 200C, mine has a 210C.

Decent amount of stock going around at the moment, esp in NSW. For VIC, delivery is likely the best option right now.

    Since when this is OzB's favourite 2-piece kit

    • +2

      Deals on this kit in the past have been very well received

    • Don't screw with it!

    • I always thought it was the 2 Piece from KFC!

  • +1

    Dang that's so cheap. I bought the kit with the 2x redemption batteries on one of the previous deals. Good gear.

  • Damn i bought the dewalt drill driver, would have got this instead

    • +1

      Which Dewalt kit? Chances are you ended up with better tools. The drill here is nothing special, and while it's cool that the impact driver doubles as a wrench, it isn't very good at being either.

      • If you get a more recent kit and get the 210C impact, it's a very capable machine (3400rpm/4000ipm). The drill is also better than the AEG Force I just returned, it is much torquier with the included 8Ah battery. This kit also includes high output 8Ah batteries, which most other brands want you to spend extra. Like AEG's fusion drill ideally needs the 4Ah tabless or 8AH high output battery to generate its full power and torque. It ships with a 5Ah instead.

        • +1

          If you want to use it as an impact wrench, it definitely is not capable. It is currently ranked 17th on Torque Test Channel's impact driver spreadsheet, and that is comparing the torque to other impact drivers, not wrenches.

          As an impact driver, there are plenty of videos comparing the US version to other drivers and it doesn't come close to matching the speed of impacts like the DCF860, Milwaukee gen 3/4, or most other brands top of the line impacts. It's also easy oversized for what performance you do get.

          • +1

            @jamesorion: The Dewalt isn't heaps better in forward, it somehow generates its full torque only in reverse. The Milwaukee is definitely better but the kit with the drill is $800ish ($697 right now at C&L). The AEG Fusion 4-mode is another driver that's very good. The Bosch isn't going to win torque awards, but for DIY use where time isn't as much of a concern as a professional use case, it's adequate.

            For $399 for the whole kit the value is really good.

      • It was the mclaren drill driver

        • +2

          The Bosch might be a little bit stronger, but it is bigger/heavier and so not as nice to use for normal drilling. Obviously which one is better depends on your needs.

          I own the DCD805 (same as yours) as well as a few other drills, and the 805 is the one I always reach for. It's a great blend of size and power. I've never felt it was underpowered, and I regularly use hole saws up to 165mm and large spade and forstner bits.

  • I have the above impact wrench. I tried some 1/2” sockets but they don’t seem to fit. Any ideas?

    • Apparently using a 1/4" to 1/2" adapter works better than putting 1/4" sockets straight on the machine as well because the hollow socket transmits less torque (as per Torque Test Channel)

      • The impact wrench takes both hex bits and 1/2” sockets. I tried a few diff 1/2” female sockets and I can’t get them to fit.

        • Haven't tried 1/2" on mine yet

          You may want to check if socket itself is deformed, especially if it's been used with impact wrenches?

          Otherwise maybe try lubricating the male socket on the driver?

          • +2

            @twister292: You had me at lubricating the male socket.

          • @twister292: Nay, its new. I had a few diff sets, tried ones from my Stanley socket kit and toolpro. Unsure if they are different 1/2” socket sizes or what the issue is. The sockets fits my 1/2” torque wrench and adjustable wrenches fine.

          • +1

            @twister292: Make sure the lubricated socket has protection on

    • +2

      They're very stiff to get on, push harder.

  • Can I use this as an amateur?

    Asking for a friend

    • Yes

      Save yourself some money and get the matabo drills which were also posted on ozbargain today.

      • I have one of their BBQs, didn’t know they were doing drills now

        • That's Matador I'm sure. The tools are Metabo, which is a brand by the same parent company that also makes Hikoki

  • +4

    I've got these and while they are great tools, I would NOT recommend the drill to the average DIYer. It's just far too heavy (and probably a massive overkill) for most people.
    Of course you can still use it, but I find that the accuracy is better when using lighter tools, especially if you're doing a project and getting a bit fatigued or working overhead.
    Great if you need a high torque drill, but I use my 60Cs (I've got 3 or 4 of them) FAR more than I use my 85C.

  • dang , batteries alone are $ 400

  • The bonus 2 redemption batteries was an awesome deal ($500 + $100 credit) for 4x 8ah batteries and some power tools. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/886064

    $379 with powerpass.

  • Good for car work?

    • +2

      What sort of work? Suspension/engine - definitely not. Wheels, maybe for small cars, large cars/4WDs no. It's only a driver not a wrench.

      • Claims to be a hybrid with a 1/2 inch square head.

        Obviously the torque is quite low for an impact wrench but might be OK for a DIY guy

        • It is very low, mine couldn't crack wheel nuts but as I said it's just a driver, not an impact wrench like people keep calling it. The fact it could take 1/2" sockets and 1/4" bits was the thing that attracted me to it but between the very low torque of the driver and the massive run out on the drill I always regretted buying the kit.

      • Suspension tie rod, control arms, etc

        • Some impact drivers work as well as some impact wrenches for this kind of work - not these ones apparently

          • @pangy: Impact drivers and impact wrenches are two different tools despite what many people think. No impact driver will ever match a impact wrench in torque output.

        • No, you'll need an impact wrench or you could crack everything manually then just use this to do the bulk of the threading on/off.

  • Good

  • Didnt need it but got one anyway. Damn you OzBargain.

  • Bunnings are currently running a spend $250, get $50 voucher.

    So, brings this down to $350, or stack with Power pass for an extra $20 off.
