Product Description
Product Description
The PSR 18 cordless drill/driver is a compact and powerful tool for maximum power for drilling in wood and metal. Whether you’re after drilling or screw driving work, with this practical tool you are really well equipped. This version of the tool comes complete with a second battery. PSR cordless screwdrivers are recommended for longer overhead applications and larger diameters. Whether it be reconstruction work, repairs on a wooden patio or summerhouse, or renovation work and repairs on fences in the garden, its range of applications is (virtually) unlimited.
Setting Ring With Pre-Selectable Torque Settings, Plus Drill Setting
The PSR 18 has 25 preselectable torque settings plus drill setting, giving maximum power for every application. With this tool you are able to drill both powerfully and delicately. The setting ring enables easy selection of the ‘screwdriving’ or ‘drilling’ modes. The drilling capacities are steel: 10 mm and wood: 35 mm. It takes a screw diameter of up to 8 mm.
Keyless chuck and Auto-Lock
The twin-sleeve keyless chuck allows tool-free easy changing of screwdriver and drill bits. The bits click audibly into place, ensuring a secure fit. When the on/off switch is not pressed, the drill spindle and tool holder are locked. This enables screws to be screwed in, even when the battery is empty and allows for the machine to be used as a screwdriver. The integrated Bosch Auto-Lock ensures that the machine locks the drill spindle at standstill, making it easy and convenient to open the keyless-chuck.
Forward/Reverse Indicator
The green direction LED shows whether the drill is in forward or reverse mode when drilling or screw driving.
Run-Out Brake
The run-out brake stops the motor in the shortest time possible with no after-run. This is ideal for driving rows of screws as it enables you to work without interruption and provides clean work.
Quick Change Battery Pack
The rechargeable 18-volt NiCD battery pack provides a high power output level. It is capable of a large number of charging and discharging cycles. The quick-change battery pack can be easily changed for the highest user convenience. Please note: NiCD batteries are not compatible with Li-Ion or NiMH batteries.
Bosch Electronic
Bosch Electronic speed control using the trigger switch enables the user to ‘accelerate’ from 0 to maximum. This allows for smooth pilot drilling followed by rapid drilling at full speed.
Integrated PowerLight
The integrated PowerLight ensures the workpiece is always well lit and clearly visible.
Softgrip
Comfortable handling and easy use is guaranteed by the PSR 18’s ergonomic shape and integrated Softgrip.

Customer Reviews
The extra battery is obviously a welcome addition but I feel that the price of this tool is really based on the high price Bosch puts on their spare batteries even when purchased from so called discount sources, something that effectively forced me to abandon a perfectly good 12volt hammer drill / driver of theirs which suffered from the batteries failing after only four years, the batteries (x2) replacement cost going to be in the region of £75.00 or so + VAT making it not really viable to repair.
The advert contains very little info as far as the drills spec is concerned, and so to assist anyone considering purchasing this is the drills specification.

The drill is solid yet nicely balanced. The battery release is easy to operate and doesn't require 'jiggling' to remove the battery. There's a handy light in the base which illuminates the drill tip - useful in dark places. The light comes on before the drill starts turning - another plus point! Just watch that your little finger doesn't cover the light. There's a 10-position clutch on the screwdriver selection and the keyless chuck, standard on most drills these days.
There are two points about which I am not happy. The first is the keyless chuck which is a two-handed operation. Bosch have produced one hand operated chucks before now and they are much easier to use when changing out bits. Maybe not such a big problem now for me as I have four cordless drills on the go at any one time. But for a budding DIYer, it might get a bit irritating to have to hold the drill between your knees while your hands both lock and undo the chuck, swapping bits or drills.
The second negative point is the inclusion of the two LEDs on the top of the body, representing forward or reverse motion, depending on the position of the direction switch. I feel they are superfluous as the switch is clearly marked with arrows to indicate the direction of the drilling or screwing.
I thought it would be a bit mean to haggle for 4.5 stars as it is still a well made drill and should provide many years of service. One of the drills this replaces is over 16 years old...
It doesn't have hammer action but there are an array of specialist masonry bits that do not require hammer action. Usually available on-line from shopping channel websites or other e-tailers.
It comes in a nice solid carry case, not a flimsy, blow-moulded box. There's a solid loop for securing with a padlock. Everything, including the batteries, drill and charger fit neatly inside and it's not a heavy thing to carry when full.
