Mount Prospect, Ill. – The innovative new ultra-compact 10.8V Litheon™ IMPACTOR™ Fastening Driver (PS40-2), from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories, is the world’s smallest and most lightweight impact driver and it delivers 60% more torque than an 18V drill/driver. As Bosch continues to push the boundaries of cordless at both ends of the voltage spectrum with Litheon, the industry’s most advanced lithium-ion battery technology, professionals will continue to benefit from innovative, powerful, long-lasting and comfortable tools, such as the new 10.8V IMPACTOR.
The newest IMPACTOR measures merely 6-inches tall by 6-1/2-inches long and weighs only 2.2 lbs, less than half of an 18V NiCad impact driver. A high-performance Bosch motor and all-metal gears produce 1,800 RPM and 3,000 BPM and turn the powerful hammer and anvil system to deliver 800 in-lbs. of torque. Compared to a standard 18V drill/driver (500 in.-lbs), the 10.8V IMPACTOR is 60% more powerful and barely measures bigger than an average contractor’s hand. For a full range of professional fastening applications, including self-tapping screws, Tapcons®, nuts and bolts, lag bolts up to 5/16-inches and more, the 10.8V IMPACTOR is sized to fit in any tool belt pouch or pocket and be productive all day long.
Additional features differentiating the 10.8V IMPACTOR include a new bright LED work light specially positioned in the nose of the tool to light up the work area. A hex quick-change chuck allows for instant changes from drill to driver bits. A sensitive variable speed trigger offers optimal control over speed for varying applications, while the tool’s superior ergonomic design, which includes soft-grip, adds to user comfort over long periods of time.
Every Bosch Litheon 10.8V IMPACTOR (PS40-2) Fastening Driver comes complete with two 10.8V Litheon batteries and a 10.8V 30-minute battery charger.
