Bosch launches new line of standard duty impact drivers

Bosch Power Tools is launching a new line of 18-volt, ¼-in. hex standard duty impact drivers, the IDS181 Impactor line. 

Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, HVAC professionals and other tradesmen are the target audience of the ultra-compact product.

Tools in the new IDS181 Impactor line feature a compact head length of 5.4 ins. and a lightweight design of 2.9 lbs. to deliver the best balance and control for 18-volt small- to medium-duty applications. The tools’ compact size also facilitates work in hard-to-reach spaces.

Optimized impact performance provides the best runtime and control, and optimized torque limits stripping and cam out of screws and shearing off of screw heads. In fact, the IDS181 line delivers 42% more runtime compared with similar in-class competitors, and 10% more speed for the best application control.

A Bosch patented, three-LED white light system provides shadow-free illumination for visibility in low-lighting applications.

The tools’ Flexible Power System is compatible with every 18-volt Lithium-ion Bosch battery – both FatPacks and SlimPacks.
