Bosch DDH181-01 Brute Tough Drill Driver Kit At a Glance: Powered by Bosch 18-volt lithium-ion batteries Includes two 3.0 Ah HC Fat Pack batteries Two speed settings (up to 380 RPM and 1600 RPM) Maximum of 700 inch-pounds of torque 25+1 clutch settings and a variable-speed trigger Three-year ProVantage protection plan

Fast Speeds, High Torque, and Durable Construction

The DDH181-01 works at two speeds--one optimized for screw driving (380 RPM) and one best for drilling (1600 RPM)--and it provides a maximum of 700 inch-pounds of torque. The 4-pole open frame motor and newly developed gearbox provide exceptional power for such a compact drill/driver (with an 8-1/4-inch head length). The 25+1 clutch settings included in this Brute Tough model and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results.

Balanced Design and Easy Bit Changes

This drill/driver's Durashield housing is constructed with ABS/nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible on impact to withstand tough job-site conditions. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 12-foot drops.

The ergonomically designed handle and soft-grip wrapped housing offer a comfortable fit for extended working time. The DDH181-01 comes complete with a single-sleeve, aluminum keyless 1/2-inch auto-lock chuck for one-handed bit changes and a reduced nose weight, as well as increased drill-bit capacity for versatility. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.

Flexible Power System

In addition to the 3.0 Ah HC lithium batteries included in this kit, this drill/driver can be used with Bosch's standard-capacity batteries from its 18-volt line--including the 1.3 Ah Slim Pack battery (model BAT609), the 1.5 Ah Slim Pack HC (model BAT610G), and the 2.6-Ah Fat Pack battery (model BAT618). 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 batteries will do the job.

ProVantage Guarantee

The DDH181-01 comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.
