Fast Speeds and High Torque

Part of the Compact Tough series, the HDS180-02 has two optimized speeds--one ideal for high-torque applications (0-500 RPM) and one for high-speed applications (0-1,700 RPM)--and it provides a maximum of 600 inch-pounds of torque. The 4-pole open frame motor and newly developed gearbox provide exceptional power. The 18+1 clutch settings included in this Compact Tough model and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. It can also drive 500 screws per charge when using the 3.0 Ah HC battery (not included).

Balanced Design and Easy Bit Changes

The HDS180-02's Durashield housing is constructed with ABS/nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible on impact and able to withstand tough job-site conditions. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.

The ratcheting single-sleeve 1/2-inch keyless chuck makes bit changes simple and quick with one hand. The ergonomically designed handle and soft-grip wrapped housing offer a comfortable fit for extended working time. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.

Flexible Power System

Like all tools in Bosch's 18-volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3 Ah Slim Pack battery (model BAT609), a 2.6-Ah Fat Pack battery (model BAT618), or the 3.0 Ah HC Fat Pack battery (model BAT619G). If you're looking for a lightweight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job.
