Bosch GDX 18V-285 06019N2120 impact driver

Universal screwdriving and tightening tool

The Bosch GDX 18V-285 impact driver stands out from other power tools in this segment primarily due to its unique 2-in-1 chuck, which accommodates both 1/2" square (sockets) and 1/4" hex (bits) drives. This solution eliminates the need for two separate devices - one tool seamlessly transitions between driving and heavy-duty tightening modes, which will be appreciated by both workshop professionals and DIY enthusiasts performing minor repairs.

The design is based on a brushless motor, which ensures higher energy efficiency, longer service life, and longer runtime per battery charge compared to traditional brushed motors. The operating parameters themselves are impressive: the maximum torque reaches 285 Nm, and the breakaway torque is 500 Nm - sufficient to handle the tightening of bolts and studs up to size M18. The torque adjustment range is divided into two levels (up to 200 Nm and up to 285 Nm), allowing for precise adjustment of the pressure force to the material and connection type.

Operating speeds and ergonomics

Two rotational speeds allow for optimal parameter matching to a specific task. The lower gear (0-2000 rpm) is ideal for precision work requiring more feel - delicate elements, thin sheets, or materials prone to damage. The higher gear (0-2800 rpm) provides speed and efficiency during standard fastening operations. The accompanying impact rate falls within the range of 0-3600 impacts/min, which significantly accelerates the loosening of seized or corroded connections.

The housing has been designed with comfort during prolonged work in mind. The ergonomic handle with a slim shape and Softgrip coating guarantee a secure grip even with wet hands or when working in gloves. The weight of the tool itself is only 1.1 kg (without battery), which reduces arm fatigue during repetitive tasks. The set includes a practical belt clip, allowing the driver to be attached to a work belt - the tool is always at hand when you need both hands for work.

Applications and compatibility

The GDX 18V-285 supports a wide range of sizes:

• Self-drilling screws with diameters of 4.2 mm and 4.8 mm,
• Wood screws with diameters of 4 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm,
• Metric bolts M6, M8, M10, and studs up to size M12.

The tool is part of the Bosch Professional 18V platform - compatible with the entire range of batteries and chargers in this line (not included in the set). This allows you to use existing power supplies from other Bosch power tools or gradually build a collection under a single voltage system.
