Bosch PRO GSB 18V-55 - 55 Nm and 1,800 RPM
Published on 09/14/2026 at 16:18 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Bosch PRO GSB 18V-55 is a cordless impact drill driver with 55 Nm of torque, 1,800 min-1, and an 18.0 V battery platform. Bosch lists it with a 13-mm metal chuck, a brushless motor, and a body weight of 1 kg without the battery.
Motor And Drilling Range
The tool is rated for wood up to 35 mm, steel up to 13 mm, and masonry up to 10 mm, with 20+2 torque settings and a two-speed gearbox. Bosch also lists Autolock, Electronic Cell Protection, Electronic Motor Protection, LED light, and reverse rotation.
Its no-load speed runs from 0-460 min-1 in first gear to 0-1,800 min-1 in second gear, which puts it in the standard bracket for compact pro cordless drill drivers. Bosch says the model uses a lithium-ion battery type and works on the Bosch Professional 18V system, including ProCORE18V batteries and AMPShare.
Price And US Context
The Bosch page lists an MSRP of 215.00 EUR without VAT, while Bosch's US corporate page gives Robert Bosch LLC in Farmington Hills, Michigan, as the responsible U.S. entity. For U.S. buyers, that matters because the Bosch Professional page shown here carries the model number 0.601.9H5.303 and the included L-BOXX 136 configuration.
On Bosch Professional's U.S. or Germany-facing search results, the same platform appears in multiple pack-outs, including body-only and kit versions, but the core drill driver spec stays centered on 55 Nm and 1,800 min-1. That keeps the model easy to place against other 18V drill drivers that trade off power, weight, and kit contents.
Kit Contents And Fit
In the shown Bosch configuration, the box includes the GSB 18V-55 tool in an L-BOXX 136, plus the case insert for the tool. Bosch also ties the model to the 10 mm screw diameter limit and to drilling in wood, steel, and masonry.
Compared with many entry-level cordless drill drivers, the 55 Nm torque figure and 13-mm chuck put this Bosch model toward the stronger end of the compact class. The 1 kg weight without battery keeps the body light enough for overhead work and drilling tasks that reward a smaller footprint.
Where It Lands
Bosch PRO GSB 18V-55 fits users who want a brushless 18V combi drill with a 13-mm chuck, 55 Nm, and standard Bosch Professional battery compatibility. The practical limit is clear in the numbers: it is built for drilling and screwdriving, not for larger rotary hammer work.

Market Position
For Bosch's 18V Professional lineup, the GSB 18V-55 sits as a compact combi drill with a 0-460 min-1 low gear, 0-1,800 min-1 high gear, and 20+2 torque settings. That mix gives it a clear lane between lightweight household drills and heavier jobsite tools.
