The Bosch 36-volt Brute Tough hammer drill/driver gives you minimum weight and maximum run time, for a tool that powers through the toughest jobs. It won't give out before the task is finished, and it won't wear you out, either. Rugged, reliable, and ready to tackle any task, this workhorse promises a lifetime of service and strength. This hammer drill's Brute Tough construction comes complete with Unibody Powertrain, which keeps the hardy metal gears in alignment so they won't grind, catch, or fail. It also boasts a metal reinforced collar and Durashield housing so you know it'll withstand real world working conditions. This model can even survive a 1-story drop, in case of work site butter-fingers. Although the 18636-02 is designed to be a sturdy job site companion, it's also loaded with precision features that provide real accuracy as well as muscle. The hammer on/off ring lets you easily engage or disengage the hammer mode, and externally accessible brushes can be switched out for maintenance in as little as two minutes. This hammer drill has a 15-position clutch, and the Flexible Power System to let you match the battery output to your task. The 18636-02 has a 15-position clutch and a ratcheting, carbide tooth single sleeve 1/2-inch chuck for easy one-handed bit changes. Its Litheon 36-volt batteries allow more battery charges and longer run times, and they're so light that they weigh less than most 14.4-volt batteries. Best of all, the included Litheon fast charger will bring them up to 80-percent of their power capacity in just 30 minutes. This model offers a no-load speed of 0-450 and 0-1,500 rpm in drill mode, and 18,000 bpm in hammer mode, with 600 in./lbs. of torque. The kit includes one double-ended bit, a Litheon fast charger and two Litheon 36-volt FatPack batteries, a 360-degree auxiliary handle, and a carrying case. Applications
Use this hammer drill for a wide variety of heavy-duty applications. It drills and drives holes and fasteners in concrete, masonry, stone, wood, metal, and plastic. It can also be used to drill holes in concrete footings to pin concrete wall forms, or to drill holes in concrete floors to pin wall framing. What's in the box
Bosch 1/2-inch hammer drill/driver, one double-ended bit, Litheon fast charger, two Litheon 36-volt batteries, 360-degree auxiliary handle, carrying case.

 Awesome Drill December 1, 2008
System Builder (Marlborough, MA, USA)
This is a wonderful drill. The first drill that always ran true (no wobble in the bit during use)! As light as my old 18v Ridgid hammer drill. Incredible power! The best drill I've ever owned! Bosch has also created a wonderful case for the drill. This is about the same price as many 18-volt hammer drills, is better quality than nearly any other cordless hammer drill, light weight, more power and Bosch quality! What's not to like? I resoundingly recommend this drill!
Very Powerful November 25, 2008
Joe
This drill is amazingly powerful. The battery is the heart of the system. The newer Lithium Ion batteries, such as this one, have no memory effect and can be charged early or at the dead state. This battery rocks! Lots of power all the way up to its long long end of charge.
 Not impressed November 8, 2008
Russell Spalding
I've owned this drill for a little over 3 months, and overall I am not impressed. I've used a Milwaukee 28v too, and I think that it is a better overall drill. I'll start with the design flaws. Plastic outer covering on the chuck. While drilling in tight quarters where I couldn't see too well the chuck was rubbing against a cinder block and got all chewed up, then when I went to remove the bit form the chuck the chewed up fragments of plastic sliced up my hand. 2ND the switch for high torque to high speed should switch in the opposite direction (like the milwaukee 28v) while drilling along side of studs or floor joists the switch is easy to hit, therefore disengaging the drill into a neutral or between gears position, very frustrating. Lastly I was drilling an 1 1/4in hole the other day when i hit a nail, but thanks to the handle I was able to control the drill but apparently the drill can't handle its own torque because the chuck literally snapped right off. I got this drill in a combo and I love the sawzall (unbelievably fast and powerful) and the circular saw rocks. The batteries are great as well and last very long. I admit that I am hard on my drills, but I couldn't help but laugh while holding my drill in two pieces while reaing the brute tough logo on it.
The best drill on the market May 8, 2008

Great drill. Super engineering. i got the one with the larger capacity batteries and they have a really long run time. ANd the drill is designed so that the weight is not a problem. Very well designed and engineered. Pwerful and the easy to use chuck is absolutely super. I like the way you can check on the battery capacity by pushing a button on the battery. THe charger is nice, has a built in handle and it charges really fast. This is a powerful tool, and better than the others I have used in the past.
