Hey, thanks for the vid, just thought I'd point out that the model number is psb1800 LI-2, LI standing for Lithium Ion. Also, the torque setting is between 1 to 20 only on the screw setting. It will have no effect on the drill or hammer settings as you will always want max torque for these. It's used on the screw setting to avoid the screwdriver bit slipping and damaging the screw head. I hope that helps!
Hi Phill, the little man reading a book sign means "read all safety warnings and all instructions". It is mentioned in the manual :) Thanks for the video by the way!
I’ve one ordered from Amazon and I’ve also ordered the drill/screw bit package as well they should be with me next Tuesday, I wasn’t sure if I made the right choice but having seen your video you’ve instilled a lot of confidence in my purchase. Thank you for a very informative review!
thanks for showing how to use the power tool properly, i bought the 2 piece combo kit which comes with the hammer impact drill (psb 1800 li2) and impract driver (pdr 18li)), now i know what the psb 1800 li2 hammer impact is use for compared to the other tool and adjusting the settings for which compound being drilled into
Thanks for your comment. So far this has been an excellent drill. Very well made and smooth. I don't have the hammer impact drill version but I might purchase it.
I have been using this drill ever since I made this video. I have 2 of them. I like them. You can see me using them in my videos I would recommend them.
I paid 100€ for the one battery pack. The object is not bad, but the mandrel isn't in line. So sad to see this in a bosch product. The alternative for the same price was a 18v black and Decker cordless drill. I picked this because is made in hungary instead of china, but the final resultnis the same. For all the rest the drill works well. Probably going back i would chose the dewalt, even if it costs 150€ on Amazon...
What model of black and decker did you buy? I'm interested to know. I got such a great deal in this drill that I really can't complain although if I had paid the RRP then I'm not so sure. All in all I do like this Drill.
What is the best way to lock the key tightly? You just tighten it until it clicks, you don't tighten it and then turn it back one step again like other drills?
Just bought this drill in b&q for £80. Not used it yet. It's 11 at night whilst wrote this. I heard the hammer function is not great. Is it good for masonry / brick?
Hi Gareth, I have been using the drill for about a year. I have used it to drill many holes in walls and it seems to do well. For a compact combi drill in my opinion is does a decent job.
I think you might be referring to the "slow" charger which comes bundled in with the drill sometimes. They do still sell a fast charger which is a similar size to the one in this video although I think the charger in this video has now been phased out of production.
That's actually a multi purpose bit. They drill all kinds of materials. I've also found that many drill bits for metal drill wood very well especially in a drill press.

Ahh I see yea that makes sense thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching!👍😁
Thank you for demonstrating this for us. I bought my first one a week ago.
No problem. I like them so much I bought a second one.
You are a hero... I thought my charger was knackered but didn’t realise you had to push the battery down until it locked!!!
No problem glad to help
Mines just come today and I'm binge watching some videos on this drill. Thanks for the excellent informative video mate 👍
No problem 👍🏻 I had it for 3 years. Great drill.
Thank you very much, just bought one, certainly given me a better understanding of how to use it!
Glad it was helpful!

Thankyou mate the video helped me charge the battery I realised I'd not pushed it in to the charger properly

Going through that rock helps me believe it will go through a concrete wall for sure. Will buy thanks for the video

Thanks for your helpful review. I bought my first drill today based on your review for £59.99 at Amazon:-)
No problem your welcome 👍
Brilliant video, thanks Phil, I've been struggling to fit the battery onto the charger with my new drill, it's simple when you know how! Cheers.XX

Thank you for a really helpful video for someone with minimal knowledge. I am now off to find out what torque setting are!
Your welcome 😃
the man with the book (rtfm)
Now that you had some time with the drill, do you still like it? Im thinking of grabbing one in the coming up black friday sale...
Good question. I do like it and I still use it. I bought 2 of them. They seem a very good all round drill. Good value in my opinion.
Thanks for this, helps with a purchase.
No problem :)
Great review man 👍🏻
Cheers mate 👍

@@PhillWyattProjects sorry for my english, i bought the same drill, with only one battery for 100€.
This was the B&D alternative BDCHD18K-QW
Great video! Does this drill work on concrete as well ?
I have drilled many holes in brick and in walls. Not sure if I've used it on concrete.
I'd like to know the NM for each level 1-20 for the screw control, can't seem to find it anywhere
useful information
No problem 👍
i got it in ergonomic design, didnt know there is also 2 models of same drill. one more thing i read in german reviews name is L "i" - 2 not 1 n 2 .
I didn't know either. It's a good drill I like it
What is the best way to lock the key tightly? You just tighten it until it clicks, you don't tighten it and then turn it back one step again like other drills?
Hi, I just tighten it until it clicks. put the setting on drill mode to do this.
No demo of the keyless chuck?
Sorry I hadn't thought about doing that at the time.
Just bought this drill in b&q for £80. Not used it yet. It's 11 at night whilst wrote this. I heard the hammer function is not great. Is it good for masonry / brick?
Hi Gareth, I have been using the drill for about a year. I have used it to drill many holes in walls and it seems to do well. For a compact combi drill in my opinion is does a decent job.
They've changed the charger now it's much smaller
I think you might be referring to the "slow" charger which comes bundled in with the drill sometimes. They do still sell a fast charger which is a similar size to the one in this video although I think the charger in this video has now been phased out of production.
Can I get the link from where you bought it?
I bought it in Amazon last year. It's probably still there I think you can get it on eBay also
I guess that the man reading the book icon means that you should read the instruction book before using the tool.
Yea could be. First time I've seen that on a Drill myself.
How is it holding up?
I still use it regularly. I have 2 of them. No problems yet.
Using a metal drill on wood ??
That's actually a multi purpose bit. They drill all kinds of materials. I've also found that many drill bits for metal drill wood very well especially in a drill press.
Mine only lasted 2months :(
Sorry to hear that. I haven't had any problems with mine yet fingers crossed 🤞
