Overview
Bosch's GDS18V-740N is an 18 volt cordless impact tool built for driving and removing large fasteners, part of Bosch's 18V battery platform. At 8.18 pounds as listed it carries enough heft to suggest a kit with battery and case rather than a bare tool. Suits tradespeople already invested in Bosch 18V batteries.
The category groups it simply as Impacts, but the GDS prefix in Bosch's numbering is typically used for the brand's impact wrenches rather than impact drivers, so buyers expecting a compact driver for cabinet screws should check the listing images before ordering.
- 18 volt cordless power source
- Listed weight of 8.18 pounds
- Bosch GDS model designation
- Part of the Tools/Impacts category
Who it's for
Fits contractors and mechanics who already own Bosch 18V tools and batteries and need another high torque driver in the lineup. Not a fit for someone wanting a lightweight driver for light trim work given the listed weight.
Pros and cons
- Runs on Bosch's shared 18V battery platform
- Brand with an established track record in professional tools
- No torque, impact rate, or run time specs listed
Performance notes
Bosch's 18V platform relies on brushless motors and shared batteries across the line, which typically means faster fastener driving and less heat buildup than brushed equivalents, though this listing does not state torque or impacts per minute.
