This document provides a visual overview of the Bosch GDR, GDX, and GDS 18V-210 C Professional impact wrenches. It focuses on the integration of the GCY42 Bluetooth module and the configuration of specialized operating modes via the Bosch Toolbox app.
Bluetooth connectivity and module installation
To enable advanced features, the GCY42 Bluetooth Low Energy module must be installed in the designated slot on the tool. Once installed, you can connect the tool to your smartphone using the Bosch Toolbox app. This connection allows for the customization of operating modes and access to additional tool settings.
Operating modes
The tool features two primary customizable modes, A and B, which can be configured for specific tasks:
- Mode A: Optimized for self-drilling metal screws. Features include automatic slow-down and auto shut-off to prevent over-tightening.

Advanced features
When connected via Bluetooth, the tool offers automated functions to improve efficiency and prevent damage:
- Auto Bolt Release: Automatically stops the tool when a bolt is loosened to prevent it from falling.
- Auto Slow Down: Reduces tool speed automatically as the fastener reaches the desired depth or tightness.
- Auto Shut-off: Stops the motor automatically once the task is completed to prevent damage to the material or fastener.
