UPS rang the door bell and left. Upon opening the front door and hearing the truck drive off I spied a medium sized box setting on my porch and brought it inside the house. From Robert Bosch. I thought HUH? The package came directly from Bosch and inside was a 25618-02 18Volt Litheon Impactor Driver. Case, 2 batteries, impactor, and charger.
Compared to my 12 volt NiCad Makita Impact Driver the Bosch is about the same weight but about 3/4" shorter from chuck to the back end of the drill. The Bosch is about 1/2" wider and about the same height when setting on the battery. The 1.3amp Lithium Ion battery is about the size of a pack of cigarettes and hopefully will last as long as my 2.6 amp Makita. Grip is for smaller hands as my fingers tough my palm when holding the Bosch and it feels a bit un natural to pull the trigger to full speed. The Makita has a grip for larger hands and the trigger is very easy to pull to full speed position. The fan cooled charger charges is 30 minutes, IIRC the Makita takes 1 hour. 3 year warranty and 2 years on the batteries. The gun feels solid and I would likely grab either gun when I need am impact driver.
Did any one else get one? :~) It seems like I may have entered a drawing or answered a survey, I don't recall for sure. Any way I apparently got it for free.
