    Can you recommend an impact driver, just occasional home use?

    I use a Bosch gsb18 drill which came with 2x li 1.5 batteries, is it worth buying a Bosch bare unit driver to compliment and use one of those batteries?

    Yes, if you already have some decent Boshc batteries, get a cheap Bosch bare unit that goes with it.

    I have good quality Makita kit incl 5Ah batteries, so I bought the cheapest brushed Makita Impact driver.

    KIAB uses Bosch, I expect he'll be along shortly.

    Yes, as you already have the most expensive part. Or, bit of a wildcard, ITS tools sell a makita CORDED impact driver for about 70 quid.

    I do like nice tools.

    This probably suits the amount I'll use it.

    Tough decisions.

    Bosch GDX 18 V-EC is most likely unsuitable for you,way over the top if your only using for ocassional home use, then the BOSCH GDR18V-LIN would a suit you fine.

    Only reason I went for the Bosch GDX 18 V-EC was so I could use a impact socket when driving in masonry bolts & other fixings with nut or hex head, quicker than using a ratchet.:)

    You will find your cordless range will grow...:rolleyes:
    Added a Bosch GKS 18 V-LI circular saw to my collection,needed a circular saw for a job,left my mains saw at home, so bought the cordless one, I use the cordless one more than my mains one now.
    Wanting Bosch Flood Light GLI 18 V-1900, but I can't find it for a sensible price.:(

    £80, silly price, got a couple of 5Ah Bosch batteries, so the work light seem a good idea.
