What does the F version of Bosch drills add over the non F versions?

    I'm looking to get a Bosch "Professional Rotary Hammer GBH 2-26 F" or a "Professional Rotary Hammer GBH 2-26" SDS+ drill.

    Looks like the chuck at the end is longer at the end of the F version but for the life of me cannot figure out what that does, also the F version is about €50 more expensive but all other specs are identical.

    There seems to be F and non-F versions of most of their other drills, does anyone know what this is for, maybe Fast keyless bit change or something?

    Quick change chuck.

    Good answer from Lumen there; I have one of those Bosch drills with the quick change chuck option, very useful and worth the extra €50, especially if you plan on drilling large holes in wood or metal with standard or hex shank bits.
