TL;DR Reliable truck lug-nut removal on community evidence; rated 740 ft-lbs fastening and 1,180 ft-lbs breakaway on a ½-inch drive · no independent torque meter test located. CE-certified only; the 8.2-lb bare-tool weight draws consistent hand-fatigue complaints.
Cordless ½-inch impact wrench on Bosch's CORE18V PROFACTOR brushless platform, rated 740 ft-lbs fastening and 1,180 ft-lbs breakaway. No calibrated torque meter test was found · community evidence is fastener-removal outcomes only. owners confirm truck lug-nut removal without stalling, with favorable comparisons to Milwaukee M18-class tools. Three speed modes allow controlled output. Electric · no compressor required. Multiple owners flag hand fatigue at 8.2 lbs bare, especially with the 8Ah battery.
Home mechanics doing tire rotations and under-car work on trucks who already own Bosch 18V tools. Skip it if overhead fatigue matters · Milwaukee M18 and DeWalt 20V MAX have broader ecosystems and more aftermarket battery options.
CE-certified; UL/ETL listing could not be confirmed (database access failed). No active CPSC recall. No chemical exposure from the wrench. Hearing protection is appropriate for extended use. Dispose of the Li-ion battery at an e-waste drop-off.
No. The GDS18V-740N (ASIN B08VMK23BK) is the bare-tool variant · it includes the wrench only. Batteries and charger are sold separately. Kit variants with an 8Ah battery and Bluetooth are available under different ASINs. The tool requires a Bosch CORE18V battery.
No UL listing or ETL certification was confirmed · the UL Product iQ database returned an access error during research (2026-05-31), so absent status cannot be confirmed. The product carries CE certification (EU standard). The health score reflects a CE-only deduction from the 9.0 base.
No independent calibrated torque meter test was located for this model. Community evidence is fastener-removal outcomes only: owners confirm reliable truck and SUV lug-nut removal.
