Take a Quick Look at the Complete Line of Bosch Cordless Impact Wrenches
Stuck nuts and bolts are no laughing matter. That’s why Bosch has spent the last few years fleshing out a complete line of 18V Cordless Impact Wrenches. With everything from entry-level models to mid and high-torque models, Bosch has something for every flavor of professional tradesman.
Optimized for use with the next-gen CORE18V battery platform, Bosch has designed this 1/2″ impact wrench with a light and compact frame. And as an added bonus, it includes an Auto Bolt Release setting that stops rotation when there is no torque on the tool to prevent accidentally dropping bolts during removal.
This entry-level 1/2″ impact wrench features a brushless motor that delivers 221 ft-lbs. of torque, a maximum 3,400 ipm, and a max 2,400 rpm. What’s more, Bosch has packed this kind of power into a 2.77-lb. wrench with a 6.4″ head length.
