Bosch PROFACTOR GDS18V-740N 18V BITURBO Brushless 1/2" High-Torque Impact Wrench - Bare Tool
The Bosch PROFACTOR GDS18V-740N 18V cordless 1/2-inch square drive high-torque impact wrench breaks loose seized industrial nuts, secures heavy structural steel connections, drives large timber lag screws, and tightens commercial concrete wedge anchors. Engineered with BITURBO Brushless Technology and a high-output drivetrain optimized for CORE18V High Power batteries, this 6.4-lb cordless tool delivers up to 740 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1,180 ft-lbs of breakaway nut-busting torque. Featuring an integrated 1/2-inch friction ring anvil for rapid socket changeouts, a 3-speed digital user interface (0-800 / 1,200 / 1,750 RPM), a protective rubber nose casing, and an adjustable LED worklight, it equips ironworkers, heavy equipment mechanics, and millwrights with corded-grade torque delivery.
**Battery and charger sold separately.
