Expert opinion

As a professional contractor, I have had the pleasure of using the Bosch GDX18V 1800CN 18V Brushless Impact Baretool on several projects. This versatile two in one impact driver and impact wrench design features a versatile hex shank with power Groove and a socket drive, making it ideal for use in both professional and DIY applications. The powerful EC Brushless motor delivers a max of 1,800 in. lbs. of torque and up to 4,200 IPM for professional power, making it capable of tackling even the toughest jobs.

The half driver and half wrench design makes it easy to switch between bits and sockets quickly, while the hammer and anvil system is designed to deliver maximum impact energy. Additionally, the electronic cell and motor protection helps protect the tool and battery from overloading conditions. I was also impressed with its ergonomic design which makes it comfortable to use for extended periods of time.

The Bosch GDX18V 1800CN 18V Brushless Impact Baretool comes with a 1/4 inch quick change hex shank with power Groove and a 1/2 inch square drive which is great for doing precision work as well as more heavy duty tasks. It has an impressive battery life that allows you to work for hours without having to stop or recharge your batteries. Furthermore, it s relatively lightweight at only 2.6 pounds which makes it easy to transport from job site to job site without any hassle or fatigue associated with carrying heavier tools around. Finally, considering its features and performance level, this product offers great value for money compared to similar products on the market today.

Overall, I highly recommend the Bosch GDX18V 1800CN 18V Brushless Impact Baretool for anyone looking for an all in one solution for their projects. It s perfect for both professional contractors who need a reliable tool they can rely on day in day out as well as DIYers who want a tool that can handle various types of jobs with ease. With its powerful motor, ergonomic design, long battery life, lightweight construction and excellent value for money, this is definitely one of the best impact drivers I ve ever used!
