Bosch GSB 501 vs Bosch GSB 10 re

The Bosch GSB 501 or the Bosch GSB 10 RE may be suitable options if you require a drill with a solid hold on the bit.

A 500 watt motor and keyed chucks are shared by both.

The GSB 501 has a single speed setting and a maximum RPM of 2800.

For challenging tasks like drilling into concrete, it works perfectly.

However, the GSB 10 RE can reach 2600 RPM and features a speed control dial.

Along with being easier to use and carry, it also includes extra features like hammer drilling and screw-driving.

Key Difference

key difference between 501 and 10 re

The speed control is one of the difference. The Bosch GSB 501 only has one speed setting, however the Bosch GSB 10 RE has a dial that allows you to change the speed to suit the material you are drilling in.


The size and weight are two further differences. The Bosch GSB 10 RE is easier to operate and move around in tight places because it is lighter and smaller than the Bosch GSB 501.

The functionality is a third difference. Beyond standard drilling, the Bosch GSB 10 RE is capable of other tasks.

It is more versatile than the Bosch GSB 501 because it can also perform hammer drilling and screwdriving.

Conclusion

conclusion of drill machines

Bosch GSB 501 is made for users who want a drill machine for concrete walls without any additional accessory in a cheap price. 

I recommend Bosch GSB 10 re to those users who want all in one drill with almost all useful accessories in the kit. Value for money is the other reason of recommending this drill machine.
