MT. PROSPECT, Ill., Jan. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Bosch Power Tools, the global leader for power tools and power tool accessories, announced the launch of two high-torque impact wrenches under the PROFACTOR™ System, the GDS18V-740C and GDS18V-770C. These new models provide high torque and exceptional control and flexibility. Additionally, these impact wrenches feature BITURBO Brushless™ technology and optimized in-tool electronics allowing for high PROFACTOR™ performance delivering the power of a corded tool in a cordless solution.

"High torque combined with advanced preset and custom modes help prevent workpiece and fastener damage providing users with exceptional control, saving time and frustration. Plus, in reverse with Metal Bolt Mode activated, the Auto Bolt Release (ABR) feature senses when there is no load and stops tool rotation helping prevent frustrating accidental dropping of bolts and nuts. Both wrenches offer friction ring anvils providing secure socket attachment with the additional flexibility of quick swaps. The GDS19V-770C also features a thru-hole which provides extra security and better manageability for those that do most of their work with the same socket and want to secure the connection. We're excited to introduce this dynamic duo of impact wrenches to our tool line," said Chris Gregory, Product Manager for Bosch Power Tools.
