Product Information
Full details
This Bosch 18V impact wrench kit is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners needing a powerful yet compact tool for tasks like changing wheels or driving large screws. Its key benefit is the combination of high torque (350 Nm) and a brushless motor for efficient, durable performance. A potential caveat is that it comes with a single 2.5Ah battery, which may limit runtime for extended projects.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the brushless motor?
The brushless motor technology provides greater power, longer run time on a single charge, and significantly increases the tool's overall durability and lifespan compared to brushed motors.
Can I use batteries from other Bosch tool lines with this impact wrench?
This tool uses the 18V POWER FOR ALL system. Batteries from other Bosch 18V systems may fit, but for optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to use batteries specifically designed for the POWER FOR ALL alliance.
How do I adjust the speed and torque?
There is a dedicated selector switch or button, usually located near the trigger or battery housing, that allows you to cycle through the different speed and torque settings (often indicated by numbers or symbols).
What is the purpose of Syneon Technology?
Syneon Technology intelligently manages the interaction between the battery, motor, and electronics. It ensures optimal power for demanding tasks and maximum endurance for lighter tasks, while also protecting the tool and battery from overload.
Is this impact wrench suitable for professional automotive repair shops?
While powerful for DIY tasks, it's designed primarily for DIY and home use. For continuous, heavy-duty professional use in a busy shop, a higher-spec professional-grade impact wrench might be more suitable due to potentially higher torque requirements and duty cycles.
What is included in the 'Kit' version?
The kit typically includes the impact wrench, one 2.5Ah Power4All battery, one Power4All charger, an impact bit adapter (1/2" square to 1/4" hex), and the tool is usually shipped in a cardboard box.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not turn on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery contacts are clean. Verify the tool's trigger lock is not engaged.
Reduced power or speed
The battery may be low on charge; recharge it. Clean the tool's air vents to ensure proper cooling. If the issue persists, the motor may require professional inspection.
Impacts are not effective
Confirm you are using the correct speed/torque setting for the task. Ensure the socket is properly seated on the bolt/nut. Check if the tool is set to 'impact' mode if such a setting exists separately from speed/torque.
Battery not charging
Check if the charger is properly plugged in and the battery is correctly seated on the charger. Ensure the battery and charger contacts are clean. Try a different compatible battery if available to rule out a faulty battery.
