According to our drill expert
With a rated power of 750 Watts, the Bosch GSB 16 RE is powerful enough to handle almost any drill job. With a whopping 47,600 blows per minute, it has a drill capacity of 18 millimeters in stone. You can adjust the variable speed to your preference for the best results in different materials. Despite the power generated by the impact drill, the GSB 16 RE is also still manageable. It's equipped with a soft grip and a safety handle, so you always have sufficient grip on the machine. The light weight of 2.2 kilograms also makes the impact drill very suitable for prolonged and intensive work. Thanks to the robust metal propulsion cover, the Bosch GSB 16 RE is a durable machine that will last you for years to come.

Bought the Bosch Blauw GSB 16 RE through Coolblue a few weeks ago; as usual excellent service, ordered in the evening and at 9 am the postman was ready with the big box :).
I specifically bought the GSB16RE as a light drill, to replace a 20 year old Black & Dekker. So for me it was important to have a lightweight that is still powerful enough to be able to carry out many smaller drilling jobs (in wood & stone) without immediately taking a heavy machine of 3-4 kg. The GSB16RE fulfills that role perfectly! Drilling through wood is a breeze, because of the light weight of 2.1 kg (even slightly less than indicated) you always have a good grip. Absolutely no regrets for these works, rather even regret that I did not buy this machine earlier, it is such a convenience.
The GSB16RE feels sturdy in the hand but is sufficiently light in weight. However, if you have to drill in concrete or cement joints, you immediately notice that you are working against the limits of the device (it runs a lot less smoothly, even with good drills). Even for holes of 8mm you won't quite get there with this machine if you have to go into concrete... but as I said, that was foreseen for me (and I didn't even have these expectations of this machine, that's what the heavier brothers exist for! ), so no problem at all for me.
Finally, the quick-release chuck is absolutely fantastic -- very simple concept (which you'll find on other brands, of course), but it's the first machine I own that has one on it. Very easy to change drill bits, and the days of having to search your toolbox for that drill tensioner are definitely over!
So: definitely recommended for light work; if you really need to drill larger diameters in concrete, then you should go for a heavier (both in power and weight) machine.

Drilling through any matter works fine. The long cable is really great!
