The Bosch GXL18V-497B23 bundles four 18V cordless tools: a hammer drill/driver, an impact driver/wrench, a 6-1/2-inch circular saw and a 300-lumen worklight. The drill and impact driver use brushless motors, and the impact driver doubles as a socket wrench with a 1/2-inch square drive alongside the bit holder. The hammer drill's 490 in.-lb. and the impact driver's 1,800 in.-lb. sit in line with other premium 18V kits, though the saw's 6-1/2-inch blade is smaller than the 7-1/4-inch saws in some rival kits. It suits homeowners and remodelers who want one battery platform for drilling, fastening, cutting and lighting, and the AMPShare platform lets the batteries run other brands' tools.

Owners of Bosch 18V kits generally rate the brushless drill and impact driver highly for power and smooth triggers, and like that the batteries carry over to other Bosch and AMPShare tools. The common complaint is the compact circular saw, which some find underpowered for thick stock compared with a full-size saw.
This Bosch 18V kit has four cordless tools for drilling, fastening, cutting and lighting. It includes a two-in-one impact driver/wrench for bits and sockets, a 1/2" hammer drill/driver, a 6-1/2" circular saw and an LED worklight.
The impact driver/wrench and the hammer drill/driver have brushless motors. The impact driver/wrench delivers up to 1,800 in.-lb. of torque and up to 4,200 IPM. The hammer drill/driver delivers 490 in.-lb. of torque and up to 22,000 BPM. It has 20+1 clutch settings for control when driving fasteners.
The circular saw cuts 2x material across its bevel range of up to 50°. The worklight puts out 300 lumens and has spotlight and floodlight settings. The tools work with the Bosch 18V / CORE18V® / AMPShare™ battery platform. The kit comes with two batteries, a charger and a carrying bag.
