The Bosch HD18-2 is a powerful two-speed corded hammer drill designed for masonry, wood, and metal drilling applications. With an 8.5-amp motor delivering up to 51,000 beats per minute, this tool handles demanding drilling tasks. The HD18-2 combines high-speed and high-torque capabilities, with drilling capacities ranging from 3/4 inch for masonry applications to 1-1/2 inches for wood.
This hammer drill offers flexibility and control on the job site with its dual-mode selector that switches between rotation-only mode for standard drilling and hammer drill mode for tougher materials. Multiple safety features, including an integral slip clutch and rotating brush plate, help protect against binding and make bit removal easier.
