Bosch GSB 1080-2-LI 10.8V Cordless Impact Drill, 10mm Chuck, 2-Speed

Bosch GSB 1080-2-LI

The Bosch GSB 1080-2-LI Drill provides professional-grade performance in a compact 10.8V frame, engineered specifically for trade professionals requiring a versatile tool for drilling, screw driving, and impact drilling in masonry. This cordless unit utilizes a high-torque planetary gearbox and Electronic Cell Protection to ensure longevity under standard job-site conditions. It serves as an essential primary tool for light-duty installations or a secondary tool for tight-access fastening where larger 18V units are too cumbersome.

Built for the Job

This impact driver is optimized for overhead work and repetitive fastening tasks common in electrical and plumbing installations. Electricians frequently deploy this model for mounting conduit brackets, junction boxes, and switchgear into brick or timber. Plumbers find the slim grip design advantageous when securing pipe clamps behind cabinetry or in narrow utility closets. The inclusion of an impact function allows for light masonry drilling up to 8mm, making it suitable for plastic plug installations in residential and commercial maintenance. The 2-speed gearbox allows for high-speed drilling in metal or high-torque driving in dense hardwoods without stalling the motor.

• Installing kitchen cabinetry and hardware where precision torque control prevents surface damage.

• Fixing electrical components to masonry walls using small diameter wall plugs.

• General assembly of office furniture and metal partitioning systems on commercial fit-outs.

Product Highlights

Optimized Planetary Gearbox

The two-speed transmission delivers 28 Nm of hard torque for heavy fastening and 1600 RPM for rapid drilling through steel and timber.

Electronic Cell Protection

• Protects the battery against overload by monitoring current draw during heavy applications.
• Prevents overheating and deep discharge to extend the overall service life of the Li-Ion cells.

Integrated Impact Mechanism

Delivers up to 22,500 beats per minute, allowing the tool to penetrate masonry and brickwork efficiently for small-bore fixings.
