FAQs
What types of materials can this impact driver work with?
It is suitable for screwdriving and bolting in soft and hard wood, and metal. It can also be used for drilling in wood, metal, mortar, and brick.
What is the 'POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE'?
It's an alliance of tool manufacturers that use a common battery system. Batteries from one brand within the alliance can be used with tools from other brands in the alliance that share the same voltage (in this case, 18V).
How long does the 2.0Ah battery typically last?
Battery life depends heavily on the application. For light-to-medium tasks, it can last a significant amount of time. For continuous heavy-duty use, expect shorter runtimes, and consider a spare battery.
Can I use this for precision drilling?
While it can drill, its primary function is impact driving. For very precise drilling, especially in delicate materials, a dedicated drill or drill driver might offer better control.
What is the maximum torque of this tool?
The Bosch AdvancedImpactDrive delivers a maximum torque of 130 Nm.
Does it come with drill bits or screwdriver bits?
The product includes 2 x 18v 2.0Ah Batteries and 1 x Charger. Specific bits for your tasks are typically sold separately or may need to be purchased based on your project requirements.
How do I switch between screwdriving and drilling modes?
This model does not have distinct modes like a hammer drill. The function is determined by the bit used and the application. For screwdriving, use screwdriver bits. For drilling, use drill bits. The impact action is inherent to its operation for fastening.
Troubleshooting
Tool not turning on
Ensure the battery is properly inserted and charged. Check if the battery contacts are clean.
Impact mechanism not engaging
Verify the tool is set to the impact driving mode. Ensure you are applying sufficient pressure to the fastener.
Reduced power or performance
Charge the battery fully. Check for any obstructions in the bit holder or tool housing. Clean ventilation slots.
