Frank's Review [Posted on 2007-01-10]
I find this impactor to be a very good and useful tool. I use it often with great results.
The tool i reach for first [Posted on 2007-03-09]
I have happily used Bosch tools for several years. I find the tools extremely durable and the couple of times I have had a problem Bosch bent over backwards to correct the problem. Once even replacing a tool out of warrantee. The said it just shouldn't have broken the way it did. I use this impact driver daily and love it's light weight and power. I would have given this a 5 if it functioned as a drill as well.
Great Addition! [Posted on 2007-05-14]
I have always had a cordless drill and used that as my driver. I don't know why I didn't get one of these earlier. I have used it on a deck, including the 6" lag bolts (pre-drilled holes of course), on cabinet installation, and putting shelving together. The batteries last a long time and it has great power for such a small and light weight tool.
Sweet little impactor [Posted on 2007-07-19]
This is my 4th Bosch 14.4 tool. Very well built, nice features. Could not beat it for the price I paid (130 with free shipping) which included 2 bluecore batteries and a charger. I wanted the extra charger and 2 more batteries helps keep all my tools available with charged batteries.
As for the tool itself, if you haven't used an impact driver before, you don't know what you are missing. Driving long screws into 2x material is a joy. My Bosch drill had plenty of power, but if you don't hold the drill down firmly, it is possible to strip the head of the screw with all the torque. The impact driver applies it in tiny jolts and the result is that the screws seem to sink into the work without much effort at all. Its also very good for removing screws out of decking for the same reason. It comes with a small tiltable led that does a nice job illuminating the area you are working. Battery life is OK, not one of Bosch's stronger points. It has plenty of torque, enough that it will loosen lug nuts on your car wheels. You can buy adapters that will let you attach sockets from 1/4 to 1/2 inch drives.
Trigger is the first thing to go [Posted on 2008-01-31]
I am a professional cabinet installer and I have owned this tool for a little over a year. The trigger has now gone bad on it for the second time. The first one lasted 9 months and the second one lasted six. Bosch will fix it again since it is still under waranty but I need one tomorrow so tonight I bought a Makita hoping it will last longer. The Bosch was my first impact driver and now I can't be without one for even a day. I have several cordless Bosch drills, saws, and planers that I have used them every day for several years and they all work perfectly so the trigger problem seems to be limited to just the impact driver.
