i dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!

[@mathewfrank8638]

@Franco Zayne instablaster ;)

[@francozayne3823]

@Mathew Frank Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@francozayne3823]

@Mathew Frank it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account !

[@mathewfrank8638]

@Franco Zayne you are welcome :D

[@medicmike4906]

I just bought 2 of these on clearance at Lowes for $79.00 each. I bought 2 because it only comes with 1 4 amp battery. An extra battery was $140.00. It's cheaper to buy a second one.

[@geoffhardy3254]

The freak is hands down the best impact I've got or had for that matter, lugs no problem, framing , no problem. Wood screws, no problem, in fact ive not had it fell me yet

[@paedahe4975]

Do you know what the two hole collet is for? I have two freaks and one has the holes and the other doesn’t. Pin locks I’m guessing?

[@hastingb]

I'm watching this video after I had already picked one up. It was good to see this driver being run through the paces and what it's really capable of.

[@evolvep2747]

grip and trigger is everything to me. Bosch is just so comfortable and controllable.

[@MasteringMayhem]

Yes indeed. Love this drill 🙂

[@rodw]

HI MARIUS, GREAT DEMO MY FRIEND 👍👍😊😁 THAT WAS THE QUICKEST I'VE SEEN LUG NUTS COME OFF IN ANY VIDEO !!! THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS AND VIDEOS RODNEY

[@AdamsGarageComp]

I just picked up one at Lowe’s for 119 and I’m super excited to use it! It’s best of both worlds all in one tool

[@JPU89]

If you decide you like it alot you should check your local Lowe's again. They just marked this model down to $50 on clearance. I just picked one up. The website showed it was $79 but it was lower in store.

[@evolvep2747]

It currently sits on 3300 in-lbs (275 ft-lbs) of breakaway torque with the 1/2 and will break most lugnuts loose. This tool is actually intended for construction use. putting scaffolding together as such.... and the lanyard makes sure that you don't drop in on anyone below you. at lowes currently for 99$. they also have a top of the line Connect Version, with bluetooth capabilities and 3 speed selector and on and off switch for the light. you can just have the light off, during the day to save some battery. the buetooth capability ( small chip you have to buy for $20, which goes into the handle) will allow you to set the timer on the light, to up to 60 seconds and you can enable or disable soft start ( slow progressive start), track usage and view data about the tool,... like i said, this thing is inteded mainly for construction use, scaffolding and putting together struts and c channels. they also have the gdr version which is just 1/4 hex impact driver without the 1/2 socket. same speed but less ipm at 4000 compared to 4200, little less vibration and a bit smoother. great video btw.

[@MrLuisinho90]

great info right there. I have the connected version and always thought the nut busting (break away) torque was the same 1800 in-lbs because I couldn't find any info about it, then I thought maybe BOSCH underrated the tool. But good to know and it makes lots of sense as I recently rotated the tires on my half ton truck and my FREAK 2 wouldn't even break a sweat

[@evolvep2747]

@@MrLuisinho90 yeah definitely, this thing has some grunt.

[@travistoor6360]

I used mine the other day to take lug nuts off an F-250 that had been sitting for about 2 years. Love this impact

[@nuclearbeige3038]

They sell these on Amazon for 85 bucks! Just picked me up one. Can't wait to get to the junkyard when it gets here

[@alanphan8476]

Man, I just bought my brand new freak last week. Today I have a chance to replace my tire. However, I can’t open it. I have to reuse my old $50 12v cord wrench to open my tire. I have to return it tomorrow.

[@gpd387]

Just purchased mine yesterday, can’t wait to try it out. Love Bosch tools!

[@homelee665]

I just got a two tool pack of this and a brushless hammer drill at Lowe's. It came with the charger and two 4.0 batteries for $150. It was cheaper than the kit that had the same tools and two 2.0's.

[@MrLuisinho90]

yup, that's the one I've got @ home and it works superb. The hammer drill is no slouch either.

[@americanescu]

I have a few Bosh tools and battery packs (all the same interface) and I missed this driver like I was missing breathing :-) Just got one and I am IN LOVE! I have no idea why I waited this long to buy one and it was 99 bucks at Lowes! I'm sure there are other brands/models out there comparable to this impact driver but this is one beast of a driver and I can't find enough holes to drill and enough screws to drive in :-) The standard 1/4 bit socket and the 1/2 inch anvil all in one package, is pure genius! A winner for sure!

[@ryu-ken]

Milwaukee is much stronger and faster

[@MrCdthoma]

Just picked up one today. Still on sale. Great tool!

[@MasteringMayhem]

I love it. I’m using it more and more 🙂✌️❤️ Let me know what you think of it.

[@jimhenry3992]

140 for the 2 drills 2 batts and charger

[@MasteringMayhem]

@@jimhenry3992 One of the best deals out there to take advantage of 🙂

[@jimhenry3992]

@@MasteringMayhem yes I bought it. Very happy with them one is the 1/2 inch drill and other is the new version freak. Came with 2 4 ah batts and charger with large duffle bag. I have a bunch of other cordless tools but I'm going all Bosch now.

[@MasteringMayhem]

@@jimhenry3992 I bought that same set and it’s in my truck ready for work everywhere I go.

[@leonvanderlinde5580]

This is the only positive review of the Bosch GDX-1800.

[@leonvanderlinde5580]

I bought one around 3 weeks ago. Very happy.

[@len4709]

You'll be even more impressed with the 4.0 & or the 8.0 ah battery, first hand experience... good video.

[@MasteringMayhem]

I’ve been looking at their bigger batteries. I can’t wait to get my hands on more of their tools.

[@MrLuisinho90]

true, I upgraded to CORE 4Ah batteries and my Freak 2 sounds meaner. It can remove my lugnuts with both batteries but no doubt it got its torque bumped a bit

[@nightfr8667]

This BOSCH is a beast

[@GeoffGroves]

Watching that paddle bit going through the 4x4 i kept waiting for it to stop and for the drill to start smoking. There was a time that, even with electric drills, we wouldnt even try to go through a 4 x 4 with a paddle bit

[@7motion985]

I just got it excellent review. The only thing is that the battery comes with one bar instead fully charged. I love your review thank you

[@ShihanmarkFilms]

I like how the bits can lock in / Nice!

[@MrLuisinho90]

yeah, I own one and the bit holder is super strong because it has two ball bearings

[@doalex2085]

Oh man; Do I love the freak the wife got mine, Ours, Lol 😂 for Christmas 🎄 have not had a chance to use yet, still healing from my neck surgery! But I plan to sink 8” lag bolts in a real tall tree, like a telephone pole to cut it down ; good luck every body for tomorrow’s give away!!! Thanks I M. M.

[@MasteringMayhem]

You’re welcome. Hope you recover 100% soon. See you at the Live GIVEAWAY tomorrow.

[@doalex2085]

Good man thanks; Doctor said since I am a ironworker he wants me off for 5, to 6, months! I will be doing lots of therapy with my new tools I in the garage!!!

[@MasteringMayhem]

@@doalex2085 That’s the best kind of therapy 🙂

[@donjuan4925]

You answered my question for lug nuts lol I'm pulling the trigger on one for sure now!

[@Skwish6952]

I have this. Awesome tool. Wish the light was not where they put it. The 1/4" hex has locked up on me before and it took some percussive matinence to get the bit out.

[@MasteringMayhem]

Good to know. Thanks for the experienced feedback. Helps others who are considering it.

[@opbfitness]

great demo 👍 I have one and love it

[@paedahe4975]

Do you know why the collet has two holes?

[@nfavor]

Thank you for the review. The Freak looks great!

[@MasteringMayhem]

You're welcome! I really really like it. Impressed me more than I expected.

[@icyrene1]

Good video..got mine..I was wondering how to attach the strap..

[@billsyachrani9840]

Thanks Man..... really appreciated

[@collegedays4924]

A little nervous about buying this because I've been reading that some people have a collet issue where the bit stays stuck inside. Have you had this issue?

[@MasteringMayhem]

I haven’t had that issue, with the adapters or bits that I’ve used yet.

[@unpopularopinion8771]

U think that happens with most impacts

[@joe112000]

Good review, think I’m gonna get one.

[@yamotour1304]

I buy already thank you for idea :) im waiting for my order…

[@tiegies3491]

2 amps vs 9 amps is not fair..rigid is more faster but try to make it equal amps next time

[@alansmith3984]

Looks pretty solid.

[@joeadrianmendoza]

It’s a beast!!!! Great video!!! 👍🏼

[@MasteringMayhem]

Hey Joseph! Thanks for watching. How are those Milwaukees working for you? Were you able to repair that head light on your SUV?

[@joeadrianmendoza]

@@MasteringMayhem tools are amazing!!! I’m actually working on my car right now... just changed the oil used impact to remove oil pan bolt and I’m working on removing the bumber right now with the drill on low torque setting... using t25, 8mm and 10mm bolts to get that bumper and old headlamp off... Thanks again, love the channel and I can’t wait to see who is lucky winner #3...

I got the two tool kit Bosch GXL18V-233B25 it's exactly the same as your impact driver mine except it comes with a two 4.0 ah core batteries compact drill driver hammer drill

I will probably do the same thing.

Hmm $99 at my lowes but the $169 Bosh hammer drill w/battery is $59 at lowes

[@deeewaltbaby5405]

Sweet!!

[@vojnikjna30]

Where the heck is your speed Selector and light buttons? It’s usually on the base of the tool by the light

[@Zozo806]

Its the little cheaper version of the GDX 18V 200c. Name is GDX 18V 200.

[@MrLuisinho90]

I call this the FREAK 2 Light, although it actually has the same torque, RPMs and IPM as the full fledged FREAK 2. This one is GDX18V-1800B12 The one you're talking about with the speed selector and BT slot is GDX18V-1800C (C stands for connected). There's about $50 price difference which makes the former one a deal. Source: I used to have the light one, then upgraded to the full fledged one for about the same price.

[@heyheysaturday2492]

Yeah I was shopping for a impact drill this seems a really good impact for the price will see if I should buy a combo tho I have 2x driver drill

Let me know what you end up getting. Thanks for supporting the channel 🙂✌️❤️

[@heyheysaturday2492]

@@MasteringMayhem I decided to get the bosch one issue I had that it was very tight to insert the 1/4 socket on the impact not sure if it needed to be worn out but that's something bosch need to look at

[@MasteringMayhem]

@@heyheysaturday2492 It could be the brand of bit sometimes. I have DeWALT, Bosch, HART, etc. some bits fit right, some fit just fine.

How mach do you pay for tha bosch

Mine won't take lug nuts off

[@briha3142]

I wish these power tool companies would make their battery chargers 100-240volt, like our phone chargers! I’d like to take some of my 18v and 20v tools abroad, and be able to charge the batteries in a foreign country, but can’t, without using an inverter!

[@MasteringMayhem]

I agree. I’d like to see that myself. Maybe in the near future?

Regular sockets. Why no impact sockets???
