This Hybrid FREAK Tool Holds Two Bits + Does Two Jobs! (IMPACT DRIVER VS. IMPACT WRENCH Explained!)

Bosch recently sent me a batch of power tools to test out, and in that haul was a tool I'd never seen before--the Bosch FREAK. Half-impact wrench, half-impact driver, it's an oddity that seems to solve a long-standing two-tool conundrum!

IMPACT WRENCHES are drill-like tools that act as electric versions of pneumatic impact wrenches. They have a square anvil for a driver head, so they can mate with and hold various types of wrench sockets bits.

IMPACT DRIVERS are stubby, drill-like tools, with a hex collet, that are meant to hold special driver bits. They utilize sort of a motor disengagement feature to create a lot of torque for driving fasteners with increased control and reduced bit slippage.

These have always been separate tools, and DIYers and pros have had to keep both tools in order to effectively drive/back out screws or nuts and bolts.

The Bosch Freak is the first tool I've seen that effectively combines these two similar but different functions into one tool. The driver head is a hollow 1/2" anvil that can also house a hex-shank impact bit.

What's even more extraordinary is that the Freak can hold both bits at once--a driver bit and a socket!

I've read that it tests out at slightly lower torque values than some other top-of-the-line impact wrenches. But this came as little surprise to me, since this is effectively a dual-function tool. Overall, I was quite impressed with it's torque and power, and I think it's high-speed bit-swapping is a HUGE gain for a small reduction in torque.

I want to thank Bosch Tools for sending it out to me! Bosch is NOT MY SPONSOR, they simply sent me the tools for testing. But, I was very impressed with the Freak.

Thanks for watching!
