The Bosch Freak has three-speed modes that incrementally increase the strength of the tool. It also has two auto modes that can sense the type of screw being used and adjust the speed accordingly. The tool has a variable speed trigger that allows for precise control of the speed and a maximum of 4100 impacts per minute in speed mode 3.

The tool weighs just under four pounds with the 4 amp-hour battery, making it a compact and lightweight option for an impact wrench. It also has a tracking feature that allows users to keep track of their tools and manage them for security purposes.

In testing, the Bosch Freak was able to drive three-and-a-half-inch exterior deck screws into PT wood with ease in speed mode 3. The tool will also be tested for torque to see how well it can break fasteners free.

Overall, the Bosch Freak is a versatile and unique tool that combines the features of an impact driver and an impact wrench. Its ability to accept both a socket and an impact driver bit makes it a valuable addition to any toolbox.

In this video, the presenter demonstrates the capabilities of an impact driver. They start by switching to mode A and attempting to drive a screw, but it starts skipping and not driving properly. They assume that this is the wood mode and switch to mode B, which stops the screw from overdriving and stripping the metal. They then demonstrate how easy it is to switch between impact driver bits and half-inch anvil-style bits or socket-type bits.

Next, they move to a testing bench to see what kind of torque the impact driver can develop. They remove the bit and start torquing fasteners at 75 foot-pounds, increasing to 150 foot pounds. The impact driver does not struggle at all, even at 250 foot pounds. They then switch to mode B to run the fasteners back down.

Finally, they switch to a bigger torque setter and start torquing at 275 foot-pounds, increasing to 350 foot-pounds. The impact driver performs well throughout the testing, demonstrating its power and versatility.

In this video, the presenter is testing the torque capacity of a tool. They start by testing it at 275, 300, 325, and 350 foot-pounds in mode three with a full battery in reverse. The tool takes a long time to break free at 275 foot-pounds, but it starts moving by the eight or nine-second mark. The presenter lets it finish and notes that they may not be able to break the next one free, which is at 375 foot-pounds.

They try again, but the tool does not move at 375 foot-pounds. They try again and note that it may have moved in the first 10 seconds, but they will review the tape to confirm. They give it the benefit of the doubt and record it as 375 foot pounds. They then move on to testing at 400 foot pounds.

Overall, the video shows the presenter testing the torque capacity of a tool and providing commentary on the results. It is interesting for those interested in tools and their capabilities.

The Bosch Freak is a hybrid impact driver and impact wrench that offers the ability to switch between driving screws and fasteners quickly. The tool is compact and powerful, with the ability to break free up to 450 foot pounds of torque.
