Bosch GDR 10.8V Impact
"Had to send this back after one day, I just could not stand the noise of the impact driver. Pity you could not switch it off."
- Mr Denis Smith
Slightly disappointed
"Perhaps I was expecting too much, but this could not drive a No.12 4" screw into softwood. It could manage No.8 2.75" but it took 3-4 seconds longer than my old black and decker 18v cordless. As you'd expect with a Bosch blue it was very well built, with an excellent carry case and the 1800rpm is useful for pre-drilling small holes. Unfortunately though it is definately not an all-rounder.
Also, I reckon the impact mechanism kicks in too soon.
Great size, weight and shape though.
In summary - I wanted to love it but decided to return it!"
