NicholasShetley Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 If you buy any of the bosch 18v at cpo they include a free 2.0 battery. Their 12 volt tools are incredibly small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I like the idea of that impact driver/ wrench hybrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 The hybrid is great unless you expect the 1/2" anvil to have any more power than a regular impact driver. It certainly won't take your lug nuts off... Fantastic for round the house/shed nuts though Man I'm excited about Brushless tools sitting on 5Ah batteries! Go Bosch!

Javier Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I remember reading somewhere that when using the 1/2" anvil you got considerably more torque than when using the 1/4" hex chuck and I think it was the same amount as the stand alone impact wrench.As for how it knows if your using the 1/4" hex or 1/2" anvil I don't have a clue.

NicholasShetley Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I think it is a 200 inch pound difference. I doubt it would be too noticeable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I like that the 12v tools are designed to be really compact. I love the power of the M12 fuel tools and the size is smaller than the M18 Fuel tools but the M12 tools could stand to be a little bit smaller.

dwain Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 in Australia, the 1/4" hex and 1/2" anvil were specified at 160Nm and 180Nm respectively. However in a lag/coach screw test I conducted, the Dewalt DCF886 (at 165Nm with an adapter) really smoked the Bosch hybrid even with its 1/2" anvil/socket. That being said, the Bosch is a nice tool (much quieter when not 'impacting') and so versatile! EDIT: I now notice that Bosch website lists the hybrid as 150Nm rather than 160/180Nm, where the compact impact wrench is 180Nm.http://www.bosch-pt.com.au/au/en/professional/power-tools/c131399/p116703/new-tools/gdx-18-v-li.html looks like the new brushless versions have the same torque for the hybrid and dedicated compact wrench (1650 inch pounds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
