The Bosch 23618 18-volt Impactor Cordless Fastening Driver is Bosch's most powerful driver in its lineup. What's cool about this tool is that it's incredibly versatile so you can use it for dozens of drilling, fastening and driving applications. When you've got a big bolt that won't budge, this top-of-the-line impact driver features an innovative hammer and anvil system for up to 1,350 in/lbs. of torque. That's twice the torque of gear driven systems found in standard drill/drivers.

Everything about this tool is heavy duty, from the high performance motor and long lasting 2.4 A-h BLUECORE batteries, to the all-metal gears and aluminum gear housing with protective rubber front. With 3,200 bpm and 2,800 rpm, you can drill at lightening speed -- and with no spinout.

The innovative BLUECORE Battery technology is pretty cool, which incorporates internal cooling rods between battery cells to keep the battery cooler and protected from heat damage. We also like that the batteries are completely compatible with all of Bosch's current 18-volt NiCad cordless tools and chargers.

This tool is built tough, but it's also built with comfort in mind. The grip is great, the feel well balanced and the soft-grip handle provides plenty of cushioned comfort that absorbs the impact during fastening applications. And the multiple-position swivel LED lighting system and multipurpose reversible tool hook is pretty handy. The 18-volt Impactor fastening driver kit includes two 2.4 A-h batteries, a 30-minute charger, double-ended bi and, heavy-duty carrying case; a gear box cover is optional.

For high-impact power and speed in a compact tool, the Bosch 18-volt Impactor Cordless Fastening Driver 23618 drives it out of the park.
