Bosch GDR 10.8-LI Professional 06019A6977

Compact model with big features

The Bosch GDR 10.8-LI screwdriver is very light (weighs less than 1 kg) and ultra-compact (only 137 mm long). Therefore, with its help it is convenient to climb into the most inaccessible places to tighten screws or bolts, or work in a limited space. It is so small that it fits in the pocket of a work overalls.

But, despite the compact size and low weight, quite a lot of power is contained inside the tool. Thanks to a torque of 105 Nm, it easily and quickly turns wood grouse up to 100 mm long and self-tapping screws up to 150 mm, and ordinary screws 6x90 mm are just a toy for him. The manufacturer claims that the screwdriver will “pull” any self-tapping screw with a diameter of up to 8 mm and metric fasteners up to M12 in size — that is, such a small and lightweight device “closes” about three-quarters of the tasks that are performed using impact screwdrivers.

"Blue" Bosch — synonymous with quality

Cordless tools from the "blue" line of Bosch differ from cheaper models in increased operating time on a single battery charge (and "Bosch" batteries usually last longer than those of other manufacturers). For example, a two-amp battery of a Bosch GDR 10.8-LI screwdriver is enough to tighten about 200 self-tapping screws 40 mm long. The remaining charge is conveniently monitored using a clearly visible indicator.

The device implements a shadowless technology for illuminating the working area. The LEDs are arranged in a circle around the spindle, so the light always hits exactly where you screw the fastener. The backlight is so bright that the screwdriver can be used as a flashlight.

Small "impulse" for work of moderate intensity

Despite the fact that the Bosch GDR 10.8-LI screwdriver cannot handle turning wheel bolts or tightening anchors, its power and torque are enough for most assembly, installation and construction work. But it is worth considering that when the fasteners are serially tightened under maximum load, the tool will begin to overheat already at the fifteenth or twentieth bolt or self-tapping screw, and you will need to pause for several minutes. Therefore, if you need a cordless screwdriver for the toughest jobs, it is better to look towards the Bosch GDR 180-LI Professional or other professional models with 18-volt batteries.
