Holding trim while glue sets and driving a hinge screw are different jobs on the same bench, and on October 2, 2025, Bosch announced tools for both in one pressroom item from Mt. Prospect, Illinois. The release doesn't give a ship date or a price. The two lead tools are the GNH18V-35 pin nailer and the GSD4V-35 screwdriver. TMWB hasn't used either.
What is the GNH18V-35 pin nailer?
It's an 18V cordless nailer that drives 23-gauge pins without an air hose. Bosch calls the motor brushless, meaning electronics switch the windings instead of carbon brushes wearing against a spinning part. It describes the nailer as well-balanced, for clean pins and small holes, and "pneumatic-like" without a compressor. Pneumatic means air-powered, so that phrase is a qualitative comparison, and the release gives no pressure equivalent or hole diameter.
What is a 23-gauge pin?
Gauge is a thickness scale where the number goes up as the wire gets thinner, so 23-gauge is toward the thin end. These are small headless pins used to hold trim, a return (the short piece that turns a corner, like the end of a shelf edge), or a small molding while glue cures. The glue line carries the strength after it cures, and the pin keeps things aligned in the meantime.
Headless means there's no brad head to sink with a nail set, so the only hole is the one the wire makes. It's small enough that many people leave it or fill it with a wax pencil before finishing. Bosch's companion pins are galvanized (zinc-coated against corrosion) and headless, and the company says they fit this nailer and most other 23-gauge pin nailers. The lengths are 3/16, 3/8, 5/8, 3/4, and 1 inch. A pin has to pass through the piece you're attaching and still bite into what's under it, so a long pin in thin stock can break out the far face, while a 3/16 pin in thick trim may never reach the substrate. The release doesn't pair lengths with thicknesses.
Magazine capacity, shots per charge, and weight aren't stated.
What is the GSD4V-35 screwdriver?
It's a slim screwdriver on Bosch's 4V Max platform, with a USB-C charging cable and an integrated 2Ah battery. An amp-hour is one amp for one hour of stored charge, so 2Ah is a capacity and not a runtime. The bench case is hinges, covers, and shop-made jigs, where an 18V drill is too much tool and easily cams out of a shallow screw head. Torque, RPM, and charge time aren't given, and there's no procedure for swapping the built-in pack.
Which pin lengths does Bosch list?
The companion pins come in 3/16, 3/8, 5/8, 3/4, and 1 inch lengths, which is 0.1875, 0.375, 0.625, 0.75, and 1 inch in decimals. A pin has to pass through the piece being attached and still bite into what's underneath, so the right length depends on the stack. The release doesn't pair lengths with material thicknesses, and it doesn't give magazine capacity (how many pins the feed channel holds), shots per charge, or weight. The pins are galvanized, which means zinc-coated so the zinc weathers in place of the steel under it, and headless, which means there's no head to sink below the surface with a nail set. Bosch says they fit this nailer and most other 23-gauge pin nailers, with no other brands listed.
What does the 4V Max screwdriver add?
The other half of the release is the GSD4V-35, a slim screwdriver on Bosch's small 4V Max platform. It charges over a USB-C cable and has an integrated 2Ah battery built into the tool. An amp-hour is one amp for one hour of stored charge, so 2Ah is a capacity and not a runtime, and the release gives no motor current, torque, RPM, or charge time. Bosch's framing is hinges, covers, and shop-made jigs, the places where an 18V drill is too much tool because its mass and speed make it easy to damage a shallow screw head. Because the pack is integrated, it's part of the screwdriver and not an 18V pack moved over from a drill, and the release describes no procedure for replacing it.
What else did the pressroom item include?
Several other tools share the October 2 item, each with less detail. The GSA18V-24N compact reciprocating saw drives a blade forward and back with a 0.94 inch stroke (the length of that travel) at 0 to 3,100 strokes per minute, and it has a toolless blade change, meaning no separate wrench is needed. Two right-angle drills, the GRD18V-127 and the GRD18V-127HX, set the chuck at a right angle to the body so the bit reaches fasteners a straight drill can't line up on. Two ratcheting wrenches, the GRC18V-60N and GRC18V-B22, turn fasteners in short swings where a socket ratchet won't fit. A corded reciprocating saw, the GSA12-30, rounds out the list.
What does the release actually say?
Bosch's pressroom item, datelined Mt. Prospect, Illinois, says the company "today announced" the tools, with no separate ship date and no price, and it doesn't link a separate product page. Bosch describes the GNH18V-35 as well-balanced, for clean pins and small holes, and as "pneumatic-like" without a compressor. A compressor is the machine that stores pressurized air for an air-powered tool. The release gives no air-pressure equivalent for that likeness, no hole diameter for "clean," and no weight to put beside "well-balanced," so the descriptions stay qualitative.
Who is it for?
The nailer suits trim and assembly work without a compressor, and the screwdriver suits small fasteners where a full drill is overkill. No price, ship date, or torque figure is stated for any of them.
