Published on 09/23/2026 at 21:59 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Bosch DIY PSR 18 LI-2 Ergonomic is an 18 V cordless drill driver with a curved grip design, a 32 Nm maximum torque rating, and a 1.1 kg weight including battery. Bosch introduced the model in October 2015 for home-improvement users.
Core Specifications and Design
The drill driver uses an 18 V lithium-ion battery rated at 2.5 Ah in the documented kit configuration. Its two-speed gearbox runs at 0-400 rpm in first gear and 0-1,340 rpm in second gear, while the maximum torque reaches 32 Nm in hard screwdriving and 28 Nm in soft screwdriving.Bosch's technical release lists the voltage, battery capacity, speed, torque, and weight.
The chuck accepts drill bits from 1 to 10 mm, and the tool handles holes up to 38 mm in wood and 13 mm in steel. Bosch lists a maximum screw diameter of 10 mm. The PSR 18 LI-2 Ergonomic is a drill driver rather than an impact drill, so the published specification does not include a masonry impact rate.
Battery Platform and Included Kits
The PSR 18 LI-2 Ergonomic belongs to Bosch's Power4All 18 V battery system. Bosch described the battery platform as compatible across 15 different garden and home-improvement tools when the model launched in 2015.The Bosch announcement describes the aligned tool axis and recessed grip design.
The launch range included a case with one battery and a quick charger, a case with two batteries and a charger, and a bare-tool carton without a battery or charger. Bosch listed launch prices of 199.99 euros for the one-battery kit, 239.99 euros for the two-battery kit, and 119.99 euros for the bare-tool configuration in its European announcement dated 03/18/2015.The launch announcement identifies the kit contents and original prices
How It Compares
Compared with the related PSB 18 LI-2 Ergonomic impact drill, the PSR version is the simpler drilling and screwdriving tool. The PSB adds masonry impact drilling and carries a documented 1.4 kg weight including battery, while the PSR is listed at 1.1 kg.
The PSR also differs from the older PSR 18 LI-2 listing in its published ergonomic design and Power4All positioning. Its 38 mm wood-drilling capacity and 13 mm steel-drilling capacity place it in the general-purpose 18 V DIY class, while the absence of an impact function limits it for masonry work.
Best Fit for DIY Projects
The Bosch DIY PSR 18 LI-2 Ergonomic suits users who need one cordless tool for screwdriving, wood drilling, and metal drilling. Its 18 V battery system, 20 plus 1 torque settings, two-speed gearbox, and 32 Nm maximum torque cover furniture assembly, workshop projects, and routine home repairs.
The practical limit is category-specific: this is not the impact-drill version, and Bosch's published data gives no masonry-drilling capability for the PSR model. Buyers comparing it with the PSB 18 LI-2 Ergonomic trade lower weight for the impact function and the heavier documented configuration.
