Bosch GDS 18 E Impact Wrench
The Bosch GDS 18 E 1/2″ Corded Impact Wrench, 500W, 250Nm is a versatile high-torque tool designed for industrial bolting, steel construction, and heavy-duty mechanical assembly. This professional-grade unit provides consistent power delivery through a corded connection, eliminating the downtime associated with battery charging in high-volume production environments.
Built for the Job
This equipment is engineered for site supervisors and mechanics who require precise control over fastening torque. The variable speed trigger allows for soft starts, which is critical when threading large bolts to prevent cross-threading. It is particularly effective for tightening and loosening wheel nuts on light commercial vehicles, securing scaffolding clamps, and assembling structural steel beams. The balance between the 500W motor and the impact mechanism ensures that the operator can handle stubborn or rusted fasteners without the kickback common in non-impact drills.
-
Installation of heavy-duty anchor bolts in concrete and masonry.
-
Automotive workshop maintenance and tire service applications.
-
Structural steel frame assembly and high-tensile bolting.

On-Site & Workshop Notes
-
Always use impact-rated sockets with this fastening tool to prevent socket shattering under high torque loads.
-
Ensure the cord is kept clear of the impact zone and use a heavy-duty extension lead if working away from a direct power source.
-
The soft-grip handle reduces vibration, but operators should still follow standard HSE guidelines for tool usage duration during continuous bolting.
