YMMV Bosch Freak Impact driver/Wrench 1/2" with 4ah Core battery and Charger $59.27, in store only

Just grabbed the last few of the Bosch Freak GDX18V-1800C Impact Driver/Wrench at the Lowe's near me.

These come with the CORE 18v 4ah battery,, charger,, bag,, etc.. the battery is worth it itself. I've switch over many of my tools to Bosch since they upgraded their batteries.

I've seen mixed reviews on this driver, and I've beaten my oldest one to death over the past few months... and it's far better than my Dewalt XR and only slightly less powerful than my Japanese Makita (the red one). But it's overall the best driver I've used in years as it allows me to use 1/4" hex Impact bits, or 1/2" Impact sockets without an adapter.

So far, I've used it for simple tasks, all the way to slamming 8" ⅜" lags into hardwood and its been great. I did lugs on my truck, but it was at its max peak power and definitely wouldn't replace my HD Impact wrench, but it's comparable to my 3/8" Impact xr from dewalt... and the Hog Ring on the Bosch is much better.

so if you can find one in your local LOWES, get on it. and if you are yet to try Bosch new platform, this will get you started. And now that their batteries have gone from worst to best, it's a $60 entry into the platform.

Hopefully someone could do the Brickseek thing for me, as I'm not sure how to use that.

Good luck!!

Edit: Just seen the Store north of me has this kit for $49.67 So I'm heading there now. Smilie Guess what I'm giving everyone for Christmas.

Happy to see the OP find this. However, any time I see a Lowes YMMV deal it just frustrates me that my Lowes sucks so bad. For years I have scoped the clearance stuff out at my local Lowes and have never found anything close to a good deal.

My Lowes would rather mark stuff down 5% and let it sit on a shelf for a year before they ever would mark it down.

Got the Model #GDX18V-1600B12 at my local Lowes in Maple Grove MN for $71 this morning. They had a couple more left.
Not a bad deal at all, thank you!

Just to let people know, in case anyone was planning to go there to get these.... this is not the same model from this thread. The one you got has about 17 or so less ft lb max torque and comes with a slim 2 aH battery pack instead of the 4 aH one that comes with the other model.

Bought one of these and tried to use it for wheel lugs on an X5 and 335i. Just didn't have the power for it.

Ended up with a Ridgid instead. I do have all Bosch for driver/drill/saw and love them.
I tried this driver on my girlfriend's Corolla the other day too while the vehicle was on the ground (adds a bit more of resistance to the lugs coming off) and it couldn't break any of them free.

For $49, this is still an unbelievable deal, as i will use it for plenty of light duty automotive tasks and driving screws where necessary.... just don't expect to be able to reliably use this on lug nuts on pretty much any car or truck.

True, but that's all they have in MN stores, still not a bad deal, considering the battery itself is $70 retail.

There is no promo code. If they are marked down in your local store, you buy them in person and they will automatically ring up at whatever their local markdown price is.

$50 at my store in MD. Don't really need it though...I've already got a green impact wrench with similar specs and the brushless impact driver.

Anybody have a problem with Lowe's & used items inside a new box? I bought this & it was used, not weekend project, used for quite some time then returned? Had the same issue with the recent Bosch vacuum deal had to buy 3 of them to get a new with all* the pieces. Also anyone recommend a good deal for impact socket set for this, the Bosch is $50
