Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Bosch is raising the bar once again for cordless jobsite performance with the launch of their new 18V brushless impact wrenches, impact drivers, and hammer drill/drivers. With this latest lineup, the brand isn’t just refining tools, it’s rethinking the balance between power, precision, and user control. Whether you’re on a high-volume production line, handling maintenance and repair in the field, or drilling and fastening overhead in tight spaces, these tools are built to make your workday smoother, faster, and more intelligent.


GDS18V-350N Mid-Torque Impact Wrench: Power That Fits in Your Palm

Compact, light, and surprisingly powerful, the new GDS18V-350N Professional 18V Brushless ½ In. Mid Torque Impact Wrench strikes an excellent balance for pros who need serious performance in small spaces. Weighing just 2.4 lbs and measuring only 5.2″ in length, this mid-torque powerhouse delivers up to 258 Ft.-Lbs. of fastening torque and 410 Ft.-Lbs. of max breakaway torque.

This is a substantial upgrade from Bosch’s older compact impact wrenches, many of which struggled to deliver this kind of breakaway force in such a small chassis. But the real standout here is the new Auto Bolt Release feature, which stops rotation once the bolt is loosened, helping prevent fasteners from falling and disappearing under a lift or into an engine bay. That’s a feature field techs and fleet mechanics are going to love.

Users can cycle between three speed settings, dialing in power and speed to match the task. The newly designed intuitive user interface offers quick access to tool modes, LED light control, and real-time feedback on the tool’s status. Combine that with the AMPShare battery platform, which allows users to share batteries across multiple brands and tools, and you’ve got a wrench that’s as convenient as it is capable.

The Bosch GDS18V-350N delivers 258 Ft.-Lbs. of fastening torque and 410 Ft.-Lbs. of breakaway torque in a compact 5.2″ length and lightweight 2.4 lb frame. It features a 1/2″ square drive and operates at up to 2,300 RPM with variable speed control. The bare tool includes a belt clip for added portability.


GSB18V-65 Hammer Drill/Driver: Smarter Features, More Control

Available as a bare tool (GSB18V-65N) or as a kit (GSB18V-65B12) with a 2.0Ah battery, charger, and carrying bag, this 1/2 in. brushless hammer drill/driver brings a new level of versatility to Bosch’s 18V line. The motor outputs a powerful 575 In.-Lbs. of max torque, which is more than enough for heavy-duty drilling or driving into tough materials.

What sets this generation apart is a trio of intelligent features that Bosch has implemented with real jobsite situations in mind:

Switchable KickBack Control: This safety feature minimizes the risk of tool kickback during sudden bind-ups—particularly useful when drilling in metal or masonry. And unlike older models, you can now turn it off if the job demands constant feedback.
Rapid Mode Selector: Quickly toggle between hammer, drill, and driver modes without having to adjust the clutch every time—something previous Bosch drills couldn’t do nearly as efficiently.


Dual LED worklights: These lights are positioned to improve visibility directly around the chuck and bit tip, unlike earlier models that often had single front-facing LEDs that cast unwanted shadows. It also includes 20 clutch settings for precise fastener depth and an all-metal chuck for greater durability over time. Whether you’re anchoring into block or assembling cabinetry, this drill adapts.

The Bosch GSB18V-65B12 hammer drill/driver delivers a max torque of 575 In.-Lbs. with a 1/2” keyless chuck, reaching speeds up to 2,100 RPM and 27,000 BPM. Weighing just 2.5 lbs and measuring 6.9″ in length, it offers a balanced, compact design. The B12 kit includes a battery, charger, belt clip, and carrying bag.


GDR18V-215 Impact Drivers: Compact, Fast, and Efficient

Bosch’s newest GDR18V-215N (bare tool) and GDR18V-215B12 (kit with battery and charger) impact drivers mark a sharp leap forward from previous compact models. They pack a punch with up to 1,900 In.-Lbs. of torque and up to 3,800 impacts per minute, thanks to the efficient brushless motor.

What really differentiates these drivers from older iterations is the addition of auto drive modes specifically designed for self-drilling metal screws and wood screws. These modes help minimize fastener stripping and overdriving, something many entry-level impact drivers lack. Combined with two speed/torque settings, you get a much higher degree of control.

At just 4.9″ long and 2.2 lbs, it’s perfect for overhead work or reaching inside cabinets and enclosures. The ¼ In. quick-change hex chuck now includes a power groove for better bit retention, and the belt clip and LED lights round out its jobsite readiness.

The Bosch GDR18V-215B12 Impact Driver delivers up to 1,900 In.-Lbs. of torque and 3,800 impacts per minute, all packed into a compact 5″ frame and lightweight 2.2 lb design. With a 1/4″ hex drive and a no-load speed of up to 3,300 RPM, it’s built for fast, efficient driving in tight spaces. The B12 kit includes a 2.0Ah battery, charger, belt clip, and carrying bag for a complete cordless solution.


AMPShare Compatibility: One Battery to Power Them All

One of the biggest changes across the board in this new Bosch lineup isn’t in the torque or design—it’s in the battery platform. AMPShare, Bosch’s multi-brand battery system, is now standard. That means you can use Bosch 18V batteries across a growing list of brands, making tool management easier and reducing the number of chargers and batteries in your shop or truck.

This cross-compatibility is ideal for pros working with mixed fleets or tradespeople expanding their kits without investing in entirely new battery ecosystems. Whether you’re working with Bosch, FEIN, or other AMPShare™-compatible brands, one battery system does it all.


Work Smarter, Safer, and Sharper Than Ever

Bosch didn’t just update specs with these new models; they reimagined how cordless tools can work harder for the pros who rely on them. With more refined controls, added safety features, and AMPShare integration, the GDS18V-350N Impact Wrench, GSB18V-65 Hammer Drill/Drivers, and GDR18V-215 Impact Drivers are powerful upgrades that meet the needs of today’s jobsite.
