Key Takeaways
- Bosch fügt zwei professionelle Metallbearbeitungs-Werkzeuge hinzu: den GBM 38 Magnetkernbohrer (10,5 kg) und die GRS 18V-330 Winkel-Schlagschrauber (330 Nm Drehmoment).
- Beide Werkzeuge setzen auf leichtes Design, Thermenschutz und ergonomische Gestaltung, um die Ermüdung des Bedieners zu reduzieren.
- Der GBM 38 ist 40 % leichter als übliche Kernbohrer, während der kompakte Kopf der GRS 18V-330 (78 × 56 mm) in die engsten Motorraumbereiche gelangt.
- Bürstenlose Motoren bieten höhere Effizienz und längere Lebensdauer für den kabellosen Schlagschrauber.
- Bosch liefert ein komplettes Zubehör-Set für den Bohrer und einen hochkapazitiven Akku für den Schlagschrauber, sodass sie sofort im Feld eingesetzt werden können.
Bosch Expands Its Professional Metal-Working Line
Bosch Power Tools hat zwei neue Ergänzungen seines Industrie-Portfolios vorgestellt, die sich an Fertiger, Instandhaltungsteams und Kfz-Techniker richten, die hohe Leistung, Präzision und Komfort in anspruchsvollen Umgebungen benötigen.
GBM 38 Professional Magnetic Core Drill
- Weight: 10.5 kg (≈ 23 lb) – roughly 40 % lighter than conventional 38 mm core drills.
- Drilling Capacity: 38 mm core diameter in steel up to 25 mm thickness.
- Power Supply: 230 V AC, 2.5 kW motor.
- Safety Features: Integrated thermal overload sensor and a replaceable current-fuse that protect the motor during prolonged use.
- Ergonomics: Balanced handle and low-center-of-gravity design reduce shoulder strain, especially during overhead work.
- Included Accessories: Magnetic base, drill steel, three core bits (20 mm, 30 mm, 38 mm), and a quick-release chuck.
The GBM 38’s reduced mass and robust magnetic clamping make it ideal for high-elevation installations such as structural steelwork, HVAC ducting, and concrete reinforcement.
GRS 18V-330 Professional Right-Angle Impact Wrench
- Power Source: 18 V lithium-ion battery (Bosch 5.0 Ah pack).
- Torque Output: 330 Nm fastening torque, 560 Nm break-away torque – sufficient for bolts up to M18 (≈ 18 mm).
- Motor Type: Brushless, delivering 30 % higher efficiency and a 2-year warranty on the motor.
- Dimensions: Head 78 mm × 56 mm, overall length 210 mm; fits into engine bays, pipe flanges, and confined structural joints.
- Speed Settings: 2-speed gearbox (0–2,800 rpm low, 0–3,600 rpm high).
- Additional Features: LED work light (150 lumens), vibration-dampening grip, and an electronic overload protection system.
The compact geometry and high torque make the GRS 18V-330 a go-to tool for automotive service centers, plant maintenance, and on-site construction where space is at a premium.

Why These Tools Matter to Professionals
- Reduced Operator Fatigue: The GBM 38’s 40 % weight reduction and balanced grip lower shoulder strain, while the GRS 18V-330’s vibration-dampening handle minimizes hand fatigue during repetitive bolt-tightening.
- Increased Uptime: Brushless motor technology in the impact wrench extends run-time between charges by up to 25 % compared with brushed equivalents.
- Safety & Reliability: Built-in thermal protection for the drill and electronic overload for the wrench help prevent premature motor failure, a critical factor for contractors on tight schedules.
- Rapid Deployment: Both products ship with complete accessory kits, allowing technicians to start work on the first day without additional purchases.
