FAQs

What is the warranty period for this tool?

As a professional tool, the Bosch GDR 18V-200 Professional typically comes with a standard manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the warranty documentation included with your purchase or contact Bosch for specific details.

Does this impact driver come with a battery and charger?

No, this is a 'bare unit' and is sold without a battery or charger. You will need to purchase these separately or use existing Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers.

What is the maximum screw size this tool can handle?

The tool is designed for tightening and removing screws in metal, sheet metal, and wood. While it has a strong torque, the maximum screw size depends on the material and the specific screw type. For wood, it's generally suitable for screws up to 8 mm in diameter, but always use appropriate pilot holes and test on a scrap piece if unsure.

How do I change the impact driver bit?

Pull back the collar on the ¼" hex chuck, insert the desired bit fully, and then release the collar. Ensure the bit is securely seated.

What is the difference between tightening torque and breakaway torque?

Tightening torque is the force applied to drive a fastener. Breakaway torque is the force required to loosen a fastener that has already been tightened.

Can I use this tool for drilling holes?

While it has a ¼" hex chuck, this tool is specifically designed as an impact driver for fastening and loosening screws. It is not intended for drilling holes, as it lacks a clutch and variable speed control suitable for drilling.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not power on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery contacts are clean.

Impact is weak or inconsistent

Verify that the battery is sufficiently charged. Check for any obstructions or blockages in the impact mechanism. Ensure the bit is properly seated in the chuck.

Variable speed trigger not responding correctly

Check for dirt or debris around the trigger mechanism. If the issue persists, contact Bosch service.

LED light not working

Ensure the battery is inserted correctly. If the light still does not function, there may be an internal issue requiring professional service.
