Bosch Uneo 3-in-1 drill

This world first is a cordless screwdriver, drill and rotary hammer all at once Hammering, drilling and screw driving with one power tool: the innovative Uneo from Bosch makes it possible. This three-in-one tool is a real cordless rotary hammer with pneumatic hammer mechanism but it has very small dimensions and a weight of only 1.1 kilograms. The cordless tool is about the same size as a sheet of DIN A5, it is particularly handy and designed for convenient working. Moreover, there is no annoying cable because the Uneo works with an integrated lithium-ion battery in the 14.4 volt class. It therefore offers all of the advantages of this modern battery technology: low weight and volume, hardly any self-discharge, rechargeable at any time. For example, 100 screws (5 x 50 mm) can be driven with one battery charge. There is a red and a green LED, so that the user can easily check the charging state at any time. The green LED means the tool is sufficiently charged. If the red LED lights up, it is advisable to recharge soon. Two green LED arrows show the user whether forward or reverse operation is selected, for example when screw driving.

The unique Uneo from Bosch contains many innovations, above all a pneumatic hammer mechanism with the smallest ever dimensions. In combination with the powerful Bosch motor, it enables high utilization of power in an extremely small space. The single impact force of 0.9 joules at 4800 blows per minute speaks for itself. Another new feature is the drill bit holder for the concrete drill bits: the SDS-Quick system. Drill bits with small wings on the shank can be inserted quickly and conveniently, in exactly the same way as the SDS-plus system: simply insert the drill bit, let it engage and off you go. But all drill bits or screwdriver bits with a hexagonal shank can also be used.
