Is this a bare tool or a kit?

It is a bare tool. The box has the driver only, with no battery or charger, so you need Bosch 18V batteries and a charger already.

What battery does it use?

It runs on Bosch 18V lithium-ion batteries. Any Bosch 18V pack fits, and larger Ah packs give longer runtime at more weight.

How much torque does it have?

1,950 in-lb, with 4,000 impacts per minute. That is enough for deck screws, lag screws and most framing work.

Can it drive small screws without stripping them?

Yes. The three speed settings and Auto Stop/Auto Slow Down cut power as the screw seats, which helps on cabinet and trim work.

Is $199 a good price?

Only one new price is listed, $199 at Lowe's as of November 7, 2026, so there is no recent range to compare. Check whether a kit with battery and charger costs less per usable tool.

What comes in the box?

The bare driver itself. Expect no battery, charger or case unless the listing says otherwise.

Our take on the Bosch 18V Impact Driver (Bare Tool)

The Bosch GDR18V-1950C is an 18V brushless impact driver sold as a bare tool, so you need a Bosch 18V battery and charger you already own. It delivers 1,950 in-lb of torque and 4,000 ipm through three speed settings (800/2,300/3,400 rpm), with Auto Stop and Auto Slow Down to keep from overdriving screws. The head is 4.45 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds, with dual LEDs for dark spaces. At $199 at Lowe's as of November 7, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare it against.
