Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the benefit of the "2-in-1" chuck? It eliminates the need for adapters. You can use standard screwdriver bits (1/4" hex) and impact sockets (1/2" square) on the same tool, saving time and reducing the number of tools you need to carry.

2. Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty demolition? While it has a high torque of 285 Nm, it is primarily a fastening tool. For heavy demolition or drilling into concrete, a Bosch SDS-Plus rotary hammer is recommended.
