FAQs
What is the tightening torque of this impact driver?
The Bosch GDR 18V-200 Professional has a tightening torque of 200 Nm.
Does this model come with batteries and a charger?
The 'bare unit' typically does not include batteries and a charger. These must be purchased separately or are included in specific kits. Please check the product listing details.
What size drill bits can I use with this impact driver?
This impact driver uses standard 1/4" hex shank bits. It is designed for driving screws and bolts, not for drilling holes.
How long does the battery typically last?
Battery runtime depends on the capacity (Ah) of the battery used and the intensity of the application. The brushless motor contributes to excellent battery runtime with compatible Bosch Professional 18V batteries.
Can I use this impact driver for drilling holes?
No, this is an impact driver designed for fastening and unfastening screws and bolts. It is not intended for drilling holes, which requires a drill or hammer drill.
What is the advantage of a brushless motor?
A brushless motor offers greater efficiency, leading to longer battery life and more power. It also typically results in a longer tool lifespan due to less wear and tear compared to brushed motors.
How do I engage the variable speed trigger?
Simply apply more or less pressure to the trigger. Light pressure results in lower speed, while increased pressure increases the speed and power of the tool.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not turn on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check if the battery is compatible with the 18V system. If the issue persists, try a different charged battery.
Reduced power or performance
Check the battery charge level. Ensure the bit is securely inserted and not worn. Inspect the work surface for obstructions. Clean any dust or debris from the tool's air vents.
Bit is not holding securely
Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the collet. Check for any damage or debris in the bit holder mechanism. If damaged, professional service may be required.
Overheating during use
Allow the tool to cool down between prolonged high-load tasks. Ensure air vents are not blocked and are free of dust. Check battery status, as a failing battery can sometimes cause motor strain.
