Bosch Power Tools, a global provider of power tools and related accessories, recently launched a new version of its GDX18V-1800C Freak Impact Driver: the GDX18V-1860C 18V Connected-Ready Freak Two-in-One 1/4 In. and 1/2 In. Impact Driver

The new model features increased torque, upgraded from 1800 to 1860 in. lbs. — providing even more power to get the job done.

The GDX18V-1860C offers three pre-defined, driving-mode technologies that help users better control the impact driver and prevent fastener or workpiece damage. It includes several modes, such as self-tapping and wood screw mode, as well as a metal bolt mode. A fourth option — custom mode — offers users the freedom to choose what works best for their project.

Both the self-tapping and wood screw modes are accessible via the on-tool user interface, which is larger on this model to provide ease when changing modes. To access the metal bolt and custom modes, simply connect the tool to the free, Bosch Toolbox app using a connectivity module (sold separately).

By connecting to the app on a connected mobile device, it’s possible to exchange or adapt the modes on the tool. For each one, users also have the ability to choose between different reactions, such as auto shut-off, auto slow-down, and shut-off after time, providing the ultimate in flexibility.
