GDX 18V-200 impact driver/wrench

18V Cordless Drilling & fastening Impact wrench Impact driver

The GDX 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.

A unique feature of this machine is that inside the 1/2" square drive is a 1/4" hex bit holder. This allows for both 1/4" hex bits and 1/2" socket wrenches to be used on the machine without needing any adapters. For this reason this machine is classified as both an impact wrench and impact driver here.

With a maximum torque of 200 Nm for tightening and 370 Nm for loosening this machine is suitable for nuts and bolts with threads of M6 up to M16.

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 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 round red ribbed sleeve that can be pulled to release a 1/4" bit. In front of that is the 1/2" square drive on which sockets can be attached and 1/4" bits can be inserted. 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.
