Ive been in construction for several years now, most of my power tools are bosch proffesional, and they are impressive. Comparing to the price they do an awesome job. Ive owned one of this impact drivers for a year now and use em everyday, its definitely useable for proffesionals, but the next time im going to invest more in an bosch impact driver with some more torque power. You dont mention it in de video but this is the cheapest and lowest 18v power impact driver from bosch, they make some better versions too
@@spicy110 yeah but thats an impact wrench, thats something absolutely different from an impact driver. Bosch produce more powerfull impact drivers too
@@spicy110 I actually watched your vid on the GSB 18V 28, and I ordered it. I suppose I need the tool for the job, and not faf on with bits and pieces, and adaptors . Nice one!
Geat video mr spicy110 this video as help me im. Rebuilding a honda express 49cc moped and this tool will help me. And it's the best review I've seen and very honest and helpful keep up with the good work
It's all about the torque. If I've learned anything researching impact tools lately, if the tool comes with an "anvil" that is, the bare tool has a typically 1/2" inch square male socket on it, then it's designed for undoing high torque bolts like lug nuts, if it comes with a 1/4" hex socket like the driver in your video, it's been designed as basically a high powered screwdriver for screws and drilling. Bosch now make impact tools with these 1/2" square anvils with a 1/4" hex socket inside of it, just be aware of the torque numbers youre working with before buying impact tools.
It looks more like a impact driver rather than the tradition impact wrench. Drivers are better for screws and drilling. An Impact wrench is good for nuts and bolts like wheel lugs. Once I got an impact wrench, it was game on. I never use the impact driver unless I have something difficult to drill or the occasional screw.
Another spicy video 🙌🏻, I’ve been waiting for you young man 😅, I’ve been going back on your videos up to 6 years ago ! And always great content to watch throughout the day 🤙🏻
I find the newer bosch not as good as the older ones as I have bosch 30 yrs old still going had another one same but only about 10yrs old didn't last long . Best industrial ones i found was makita ..tried dewalt but keep breaking after constant use not like makita..
I have not had a new one break yet but I can agree on how long the old tools lasted. We still have a cored Bosch hammer drill from the 90s that is still going strong!
Thats an impact driver not an impact wrench theyre designed for 2 different applications. These are to drive screws and the impact wrenches are designed to undo nuts and bolts.
@@spicy110 fair enough... sealey and ryobi do electric ratchets for relitivly cheap they top out at about 50Nm but then youll to buy the batteries and chargers and all that malarkey.
Sorry but do not like battery stuff like that I bought an impact driver for undoing nuts and bolts it cost £21 quid from Liddle's and it's been fine I have been using this for a year on and off no problems it has a mains lead half inch drive never failed me ya just pay through the nose for a name. I know with tools it's not always the case for sure but in this case batteries don't last long especially when it's freezin cold .
I brought this one a few years ago and it's so useless I never use it. It has nowhere near the advertised torque ratings and really feel it is so far off it's false advertising. Mine seems to have even less than your one. Ended up buying a ryobi unit last week to use and its so much better. So much for spending the extra cash on a better brand. Even the drill that came in the set has issues with cutting out a bit at low speed.
Anyone who thinks a small tool like this can make 160nm is at best naive....a tool with this size if could give 160nm would be considered a pulse and arm breaker.
I agree it's not putting out that much, however we do not know the diameter of the thing they tested it on so how can we say if it does or dosn't? It's clearly a driver impact not a 1/2 inch gun.
What i learned from this is that i will watch spicy's videos regardless of what the video is.
I am a mechanic and we tend to use the Milwaukee impact drivers they have lasted two years of abuse so we stand by them

I'm sure I covered the back they have 1/2 inch guns too, as one of the pros for me is it isn't too powerful.

Hi, thanks for that.
I own one of these, and I was wondering if there is a chuck attachment to enable it to do some simple drilling.
Cheers!
No I don't think so but you can get drill bits to fit the quick disconnect.

How mad literally yesterday I got a makita drill and impact driver with 2 batteries great vid mate

As mentioned in the video.
Why you bought it when u had the kombi Drill? not enough torque? you wanted to put bits more easy?
For a job where I needed an impact, hammer drills are not impacts.

nice video，by the way, do you interested in testing the Vigrue tools and screws? We offer free samples

I wonder if you could clamp the torque wrench and drive a bolt into a socket to check the torque... 🤔🤔🤔😂

Yes I say this in the video.
@@spicy110 so why not get the BOSCH GDX 18 V-200 C?
For the reasons stated, I want this for really small stuff.

Mechanic friend uses nothing but Kielder. Very powerful but very expensive.
Very nice ;)
Man, AVE's voice sounds different here...
Haha I just won a bet with my peeps on discord. You can not make a tool related video without AVE being brought up instantly.
I could really do with some Gucci power tool
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Someones been watching AVE
Drill go brrr
4/10 not enough ugga dugga's
Soooo tools ok 🙄
QUEIJO DO REINO!!!!!!!
