GDS 18V-200 impact wrench

The GDS 18V-200 is a cordless impact wrench manufactured by Bosch as part of the Bosch Professional product line.

The machine has a brushless electric motor that is powered by a 18 volt battery.

With a maximum torque of 200 Nm for tightening this machine is suitable for loosening and tightening nuts and bolts with threads of M6 up to M16.

Availability

In February 2022 this machine was not listed on Bosch's European websites or found for sale in any web shops.

The only regional website from Bosch that listed this machine was India where the pictures did not load. For these reasons it is marked as discontinued here.

The GDS 18V-200 C which has the same specifications plus some additional settings and the GDX 18V-200 which has an additional 1/4" hex bit holder can do everything this machine can and more and can be considered as a replacement.

Exterior

The tool has a blue plastic housing with black rubber mostly around the handle and along the back and the rear of the top side. The handle is placed in the middle under the motor for better tool balance.

The battery slides in from the front under the handle and there is an optional metal belt hook attached to the side with a screw.

At the back there is the ability to attach an optional wrist strap to catch the machine if it would fall. 

At the bottom of the handle is a white LED that illuminates the working area. The LED will automatically turn on.

In front of the motor housing is an aluminum hammer case and tapers towards the front where it is covered in black rubber.

At the front there is a 1/2" square drive on which sockets can be attached. The driver has a friction ring and pin detent to prevent sockets from falling off.

Operation

The machine is activated by pressing the variable speed trigger switch. The push button above it can be used to reverse the turning direction or as a trigger lock when the button is centered.
