Bosch Power Tools launches two 18V brushless impact combos featuring its best-selling product lineups
The Bosch Power Tools division has launched two ‘18V Brushless Impact Combos’ made up of its best-selling product lineups that are most widely used by professionals. Both impact combos consist of products equipped with brushless motors, and buyers can pair the Impact Drill/Driver GSB 18V-55 with either the Impact Driver GDR 18V-200 or the Impact Driver/Wrench GDX 18V-200.
These product lineups are characterized by both the compact design and the performance that meet the demands of professionals, combining the drill/driver and impact driver/wrench that are essential for most power tool jobs. In addition, each combo comes with two compatible 5.0Ah 18V batteries, offering a reasonable price compared to buying the items individually, making them economical.
Brushless motor products have no power loss from friction inside the motor and enable high-speed rotation and precise rotation control. In particular, the Impact Driver/Wrench GDR and GDX 200 series products deliver both the outstanding performance and the ease of use that professionals want, with a compact size relative to their powerful output and speed. They not only produce powerful output of up to 200Nm of torque but also enable rapid work with a working speed increased by up to 21% over previous products (no-load speed of up to 3,400rpm). They also feature a light weight of under 1.2㎏ and an optimal size of 254㎜ in height, and the impact driver has a very short head length of 126㎜, making the tool easy to handle.
The Impact Drill/Driver GSB 18V-55 delivers up to 55Nm of torque and 1,750 RPM of rotational force, enabling drilling and screwdriving as well as impact drilling on sturdy materials such as wood and stone, making it excellent for professional work in interior finishing and electrical installation. Its outstanding durability also stands out. All products are equipped with an Electronic Motor Protection (EMP) system that protects the motor, allowing the products to be used for a longer period. The Electronic Cell Protection (ECP) system prevents battery overload, overheating, and overcharging, keeping the tool in optimal condition. On top of this, the GSB 18V-55 is sturdily built with a 100% metal gear and a 13㎜ metal chuck, and it features an LED light and a belt clip to boost efficiency in the workspace. The impact combo includes one impact driver/wrench and one impact drill/driver body each, two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, a charger, and an inlay. All components can be safely stored in a rugged Bosch L-Boxx. 080-955-0909

‘Milwaukee’ launches a wide range of innovative new products, including a threaded rod cutter and the Packout Compact Tool Box
Milwaukee has launched a wide range of innovative new products that fully consider the way users work. Among them, the highlight products are the △18V Brushless Threaded Rod Cutter (M18 BLTRC), △Packout™ Compact Tool Box, and △12V FUEL Multi-Chuck Drill/Driver (M12 FDDXKIT).

In particular, its high-quality cutting force without crushing allows nuts and bolts to be fastened right away. The product’s ergonomic design is also noteworthy. Unlike conventional threaded rod cutters that had to be operated with both hands due to their structure, the M18 BLTRC is very easy to use for one-handed work carried out on ceilings. In addition, the handle position, designed with users’ working methods in mind, is excellent for securing a clear view of the work. The M18 BLTRC weighs 3.2㎏ and comes with inch dies (1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”) included.
The Packout Compact Tool Box is a practical tool box whose interior can be arranged to suit the user’s preferences. The easily and quickly detachable dividers and trays are highly effective for creating your own personalized tool box. The product has IP65-rated dust and water resistance and uses a durable, resistant high-molecular polymer material. The Packout Compact Tool Box can store up to 34㎏ and is compatible with all of Milwaukee’s Packout products.
The 12V FUEL Multi-Chuck Drill/Driver is a highly versatile driver that packs four chucks into a single product. The included drill, right-angle, screw, and offset chucks can be easily swapped out depending on the work environment. In particular, using the right-angle/offset chucks allows work to be done freely in 16 directions. In addition, its small size of 130㎜ makes it even easier to work in tight spaces. The product’s maximum torque is 34Nm, allowing it to deliver powerful force in a variety of environments. The M12 FDDXKIT weighs 0.7㎏ (bare tool) and has a no-load speed of 0–400/0–1,600rpm. 1644-4009
