FAQs
Is a battery included with the Bosch EasyImpact 12?
No, the Bosch EasyImpact 12 is typically sold as a bare tool, meaning the battery and charger are sold separately. It is designed to be part of the Bosch 12V POWER FOR ALL system, so you can use batteries you already own from other compatible tools.
What types of materials can I drill into?
You can drill into wood (up to 2 cm diameter), metal (up to 8 mm diameter), and perform light impact drilling in brick and limestone (up to 6 mm diameter).
How do I change the gear settings?
The EasyImpact 12 features an intuitive adjustment ring that automatically changes gears to match the selected application mode. Simply rotate the ring to your desired setting.
What does the LED indicator on the rotation switch do?
The LED indicator clearly shows the selected rotation direction (clockwise for tightening screws or drilling, counter-clockwise for loosening screws) before you start operating the tool, helping to prevent accidental incorrect usage.
Can I use batteries from other Bosch tool systems?
The EasyImpact 12 uses the 12V POWER FOR ALL battery system. Batteries from other Bosch voltage systems (e.g., 18V) are not compatible.
What is the maximum torque of this drill?
The maximum torque of the Bosch EasyImpact 12 is 30 N⋅m.
How is the brushless motor beneficial?
A brushless motor offers higher efficiency, leading to longer runtime from a single battery charge, increased power, and greater durability compared to traditional brushed motors. It also allows for a more compact tool design.
