Keep the limits in view.

  • Weight conflict: page narrative 3.4 lb tool-only, technical table 3.5 lb. No normalized weight published here.
  • App conflict: current product names PRO360; 03/2021 manual names Bosch Toolbox. Current app workflow unverified.
  • KickBack Control reduces certain risks; it does not eliminate reaction torque or replace safe handling. Manual states operating limitations; do not describe unconditional protection.
  • Neither shared manual nor shared service type proves unrestricted parts interchangeability.

Read the instructions for the tool and any applicable battery or charger together. Routine owner care stays outside the housing; internal service belongs with the manufacturer or an authorized service provider.

  • Bosch: decode the full model

    Consider the 300 for tight spaces and an existing 12V setup, the 400 for ordinary drilling on 18V, and the 975C when a suitable job needs hammer mode.

  • Connectivity-ready Bosch

    Identify the tool and compartment on the side of the handle, then GCY42, coin cell and cover. US connectivity has moved toward PRO360; asset registration does not prove a Bluetooth connection.

  • Bosch kit contents

    GSR18V-400B12 includes one BAT612 2 Ah battery and a charger; GSR12V-300N and GSB18V-975CN exclude both.

  • Bosch model and Type

    Record the model and ten-character identifier from the actual label; a sales suffix describes a package, not a verified parts match.

  • 975C handling limits

    The model manual limits activation to maximum tool speed; do not speed up to rely on protection. Use the correctly secured auxiliary handle and release immediately if the bit binds.

  • 400 versus 975C

    For ordinary drilling, start with the 400’s size and complete setup; consider the 975C when a suitable hammer-drilling task justifies the extra mode and space.
