GDS18V-740 PROFACTOR 18V 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench with Friction Ring and 1 Joist Hanger Size:1/2-Inc.
You can break free and drive big bolts, nuts, and anchors quickly with the Bosch GDS18V-740 18V PROFACTOR 1/2 In. Impact Wrench with a Friction Ring, which is what this tool is for. Profactor is a system that combines BITURBO Brushless Technology with a CORE18V PROFACTOR battery that can run for up to 18 hours. BITURBO Brushless Technology is a high-performance motor and drive-train system that is designed to give the same power as high-demand corded tools. Fastening torque can be up to 740 Ft.-Lbs. and breakaway torque can be 1,180 Ft.-Lbs. at the same time. It has three speed/torque settings: (0-800/1,200/1,750 RPM) and (0-800/1,200/1,750 RPM). Rubber surrounds the head of the wrench to keep it from hurting the work piece or the tool. This is just a tool; the battery and charger are not included. This is what you get.
My coworkers were impressed with the 1/2 Bosch gds impact when it broke off lug nuts from diesel trucks, which is a good indication of the air impacts the shop uses. It also has a huge air supply, which means it can break off lug nuts with more than 150 psi, which is why it’s so good. This is why I bought it. A good second is about 3 to 5. When setting the second time, the Bosch takes about the same time. I think this tool can take off even the semi-lug nuts with this setting. As a side note, I’m using this tool with an 8amp battery. Bosch also makes a 12amp battery for this impact.
