FAQs
What is the maximum torque of this impact wrench?
The Bosch UniversalImpactDrive 18V-350 features a maximum torque of 350 Nm.
Can I use batteries from other Bosch tool lines?
This tool is part of the 18V POWER FOR ALL system. It is compatible with other 18V POWER FOR ALL batteries, but not necessarily with batteries from older or different Bosch voltage systems (e.g., 12V).
How do I select the speed and torque?
The tool has a 3-speed/torque adjustment button, typically located near the trigger or battery housing. Pressing this button cycles through the available settings.
What type of sockets should I use?
You should use 1/2" drive sockets that are specifically designed for impact wrenches. Standard or chrome sockets may break under the force of an impact wrench.
How long does the 4.0Ah battery typically last?
Battery life depends heavily on the application. For lighter tasks like tightening screws, it can last for extended periods. For heavy-duty loosening of stubborn bolts, runtime will be shorter. The Syneon Technology helps optimize runtime.
Is this tool suitable for professional use?
While powerful for its size and excellent for DIY and home use, professional mechanics or construction workers requiring constant heavy-duty use might consider higher-torque, heavier-duty models. However, for occasional professional tasks, it performs well.
What comes included in the kit?
The kit includes the Bosch UniversalImpactDrive 18V-350 impact wrench, one 4.0Ah Power4All Battery, and one Power4All Charger.
