New Flexiclick EXPERT EXSR18V-90FC Bosch

Flexiclick system and modularity of power tools

System Flexiclick This is the heart of this drill/driver. It allows the tool to be quickly adapted to different uses thanks to interchangeable interfaces.

The system offers:

• un 16-position 360° locking of the tips,
• changing adapters without complete disassembly,
• continuity of use across several types of work.

The available accessories cover several site configurations:

• metal chuck for drilling up to 13 mm
• eccentric chuck for areas close to walls,
• corner references for constrained spaces,
• SDS plus drill adapter for concrete and masonry up to 10 mm.

This modularity meets the needs of craftsmen and companies in the finishing trades (carpentry, layout, plumbing), by limiting interruptions related to tool changes.

"No longer do you need multiple tools for screwing, drilling and punching; one is all you need."

One limitation must be considered, however: the effectiveness of the system depends on the proper management of the adapters on site, which remain elements to be transported and maintained.

Mechanical performance and brushless motor

The EXSR18V-90FC incorporates a motor Brushless (carbon-free)recognized for its durability and energy efficiency.

Its advertised technical specifications:

• maximum torque 65 Nm for demanding screwing applications,
• minimum torque of 36 Nm,
• rotation speed up to 2 100 rev / min.

These capabilities allow for intervention on different materials:

• drink,
• metal,
• concrete and masonry (with dedicated adapter).

In a professional context, a methods design office or a site manager may prefer this type of equipment for operations requiring versatility and precision, particularly in the finishing phase.

Ergonomics and working in confined spaces

With a compact head 136 mmThe tool facilitates interventions in hard-to-reach areas, such as:

• technical enclosures,
• built-in furniture
• networks under renovation.

Ergonomics is part of a logic of improving working conditions, consistent with the requirements of preventing occupational risks.

A concrete example: when installing a sanitary network in an existing dwelling, a plumber can use an angle drive to work behind a support frame without heavy dismantling.

Safety of use and control devices

The machine incorporates several safety functions:

• precision clutchstopping the tool at the defined torque,
• systems KickBack Controllimiting the risk of rebound in case of a blockage,
• user interface allowing you to enable or disable these options.

These devices contribute to compliance with the safety requirements applicable to power tools, in particular within the framework of the Machinery Directive and the recommendations of the INRS.

"The precision clutch stops the tool when the torque level is reached."

One nuance is necessary: ​​these aids do not replace personal protective equipment (PPE), which is essential on construction sites.

Battery compatibility and system standardization

The EXSR18V-90FC integrates into the ecosystem 18V professional of Bosch and in the alliance AMPSharewhich allows interoperability between several brands.

This standardization has operational benefits:

• sharing of batteries on construction sites
• reduction of equipment costs,
• simplification of logistics.

For a project manager or a multi-trade company, this compatibility facilitates the management of the equipment fleet.

The shift towards modular and interconnected tools reflects a transformation of on-site practices. Offering productivity gains, reduced equipment, and adaptation to access constraints, this equipment meets concrete needs, provided it is used in a rigorous manner and adapted to the actual conditions of the work.
