Full details
The Bosch GDR 12V-105 Professional Impact Driver is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need a compact and powerful tool for driving screws in confined or overhead spaces. Its key benefit is superior handling and maneuverability due to its short length. A potential caveat is its maximum torque of 105Nm, which may be insufficient for very heavy-duty applications. This tool features a compact design, high-speed motor with overload protection, forward/reverse rotation, ergonomic grip, and an LED work light.

FAQs
What is the maximum torque of this impact driver?
The maximum torque of the Bosch GDR 12V-105 Professional Impact Driver is 105 Nm.
What size screwdriver bits does it use?
It uses standard 6.35mm (1/4-inch) hex shank screwdriver bits.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
Availability of batteries and chargers varies by package. Please check the product listing or packaging details for what is included.
How long does the battery typically last?
Battery life depends on the specific 12V battery used (Ah rating) and the intensity of the application. Consult the battery specifications for expected runtimes.
Can this tool be used for drilling holes?
While it can spin bits, this is an impact driver designed specifically for driving screws. It is not intended for drilling holes, as it lacks a hammer drill function.
How do I activate the LED light?
The LED work light typically activates automatically when the trigger is pulled.
What is the benefit of Electric Motor Protection (EMP)?
EMP protects the motor from overload by shutting down the tool before damage occurs, thereby increasing the tool's lifespan and reliability.
Troubleshooting
Tool not turning on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check if the forward/reverse switch is in the neutral (locked) position.
Slow or weak screw driving performance
Check battery charge level. Ensure the bit is sharp and properly seated in the fastener. Clear any debris from the tool's chuck and ventilation slots.
Overheating during use
Allow the tool to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are clear. Avoid prolonged continuous use that exceeds the tool's intended capacity, which might trigger the EMP protection.
Bit not staying securely in chuck
Ensure the bit is a standard 6.35mm (1/4-inch) hex shank bit and is inserted fully into the chuck. If the chuck appears damaged, contact customer support.
