Hi,

I'm planning to buy a Bosch Cordless Impact Driver GDR 1440-LI. I'm not sure if its a good tool to have around the house for basic DIY like assembling furniture, loosening and tightening screws and drilling holes in wood, concrete and bricks.

I chose this power tool cause of its high torque and low price. Is this a wise choice?

Any advice?

Erm... I dunno.

Which one can screw and drill into wood and concrete? Also for basic loosening and tightening screw.

Important thing is can screw/drill into concrete. Planning to put up some shelves.

Edit: Ok, I found the GDR 1440-LI @ RM430.00, cheapest so far.

Oh I thought you wanted a driver.
What you need is rotary drill for concrete

So there's no all in one tool then? Have to get a rotary drill for concrete and another drill/driver for basic stuff?

Thanks for the info!
So, just to know... the GDR 1440-LI, does it have hammering? Here's the specs I found;

Max. Torque 130 Nm
Bolting capacity M4 - M14 standard bolt
No-load speed 0 - 2900 rpm
Impact rate 0 - 3200 bpm
Battery voltage/capacity 14,4 V / 1.3 Ah
Tool holder 6.35mm Hex
Charging time 60min
Dimension (length x height) 153mm x 231mm

Is that impact rate that hammering function you're talking about?

QUOTE(idoblu @ Aug 11 2015, 07:49 PM)
Yup i bought two also
*
Ok, Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll get a basic one 1st before getting rotary drill.

What do you think of the GDR 1440-LI? Good Investment?

i think i have the same model in the workshop 14.4V .. this is impact driver (the head is hex to hold screw driver head) (i use it to drill blind holes into thick Aluminium extrusion for my projects)
there is another impact drill (head is using chuck to hold the screw drills and screw driver head)

yes it has impact function which can drill into concrete but slower and u need to apply some weight going into the concrete.. good for a few holes here n there.

in the video the 2nd drill that one is made for drilling concrete holes all day.. but its overkill for house hold use..
*
Any difference between hex and chuck tool holder?

For Rm430 you can add another rm100 can get a rotary already. Cordless drill concrete better forget it. Even those plug in hammer drill also takes forever for one hole. Don't waste your money. Drill until your hand painful also cannot finish one hole LOL
*
Probably rarely gonna drill holes in concrete. Even so will probably drill holes to screw in for shelves or racks and picture frames and such. Nothing too extreme.

You reckon still need to get a rotary?

For your simple job, just get a hammer drill. Like bosh GSB13RE or GSB10RE. It can drill concrete and wood and metal. But too powerfull for screw driving.

For screw driving, get the GSB 10,8-2-LI Professional. No need GDR1440. GSB 10,8-2-LI Professional can use for drilling metal and wood and brick. But not concrete.

Both is enough for your job.

Thanks for the info! Will keep an eye on the hammer drill when I need it!

Between the GDR1440 and GSB10,8-2-LI... Why do you recommend the latter? Is it because GDR1440 overkill for screw driving? or it doesn't fit with my usage?

Actually GSB13RE or GSB10RE is a must for any renovation or start a home for small DIY.

The battery running type is optional. You can use screw driver anytime.

1. GDR1440 is for contractor use which require heavy duty and long working time. Overkill for you.
2. It is much more heavy. Not suitable for beginner.
3. It have less function compare the GSB10,8-2-LI. See at the chuck side. GDR1440 mainly for impact screw driver. It can't hold a drill bit. And can't drill a hole on metal and wood. So it doesn't bang for your money.

The bosch my website is useless. Doesn't give much more information. It is difficult to select and understand for beginner.

You can take a closure look at similar thing here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2234276/+480

Thanks so much for this info. Really helps a lot. So I guess its the GSB10,8-2-LI then. Gonna wait a while for the impact drill.

If not mistaken, the drill itself is same. But gsb500re is bundle with kits. While gsb10re is only the drill selling.

QUOTE(ozak @ Aug 18 2015, 10:12 AM)
There is no different. Probably different country model no.

But you better get a higher model like GSB13RE. This 10re are not that powerfull drill.

Where can I find GSB13RE? Just came back from Ace Hardware and all they had was GSB500RE. Online also cant find,only found GSB16RE.

I check on their website http://www.bosch-pt.com.my/my/en/impact-dr...-re-131432.html

Just go to any bosch dealer and check. Hardware shop.  If no stock, order from them.

I wonder if GSB 13RE is the same as GBM 13RE?

GBM 13RE is just a drill function. Which is only for metal and wood. Doesn't have impact function for wall drilling.
*
Meaning I should get the GSB 13RE to do works on masonry and concrete?

Bought a GSB 16RE and started drilling into my home walls to mount some shelves. Very happy with its power.

Just a question, I was happy drilling away and mounting my stuff till I drilled one hole. No matter how hard I push into the wall, the drill won't go any deeper. Tried to light up the hole to see whats inside but can't. Any explanation? Did I hit into some metal bar or something? Its just a regular wall, don't think its load bearing.

The drill bit kena the some steel bar. You can't do anything but drill another hole. Sometime you would able to see some spark coming out. There is also possible that meet some hard concrete stone. 

Concrete drill bit good at concrete wear (grind wear) but not sharp enough for metal drilling. Compare both drill bit tip, and you can understand.

QUOTE(weikee @ Sep 7 2015, 08:54 AM)
If you hit rebar, and really want to go deeper, you need to Change to metal drill bits, but you need a good bits to drill it. And spray some water regularly. But I don't advice to drill through rebar.
*
Oh I see...

Didn't know normal wall got rebar or metal bar. I thought it was on load bearing walls only.
