I like bosch, I have the brute breaker, chipping hammer, sawzall, impact and drill.

All of my tools were bought new.

 

They make good injectors and glowplugs for my truck but what about power tools?

Glowplugs? Isn't that 1940s technology?
I think they make coffee makers too, but not sure.

Ya gotta read the label to see where they are made and that usually dictates quality.

 

I have the 18v impact and drill set and the 12v pocket driver and oscillating tool. I am very pleased with all of them. The batteries could last a little longer would be my only complaint.

 

i think diesel engines were first made long before the '40's. but hey they still work great today.

Bosch has plants in France, Germany, (maybe Italy) and India, maybe other places (china? who knows but everyone else does) Good to know people are happy with their product. The prices are really competitive.

 

I have 2 bosch table saws which are pretty good, an excellant jig jaw, my fav tool which are my 10V drill and impact which I really like. A laser distance measure which is a amazing tool, a laser level which is pretty good for $100, And a demo hammer drill which is pretty good.
So I have a pretty broad selection of Bosch tools and overall I would rate them highly. I have had no problems except with the recip saw that came free with the demo hammer. It was a POS but it was free so I didnt mind

 

Own a ton of Bosch and have never had a real problem with them.

-4100 Table Saw

-4 Impacts 18v
-3 Drills 18v

-Hammer Drill
-36v Hammer Drill
-Recip
-10v Impact
-10v Multi (a good tool, but not a great tool)

My guys have had everything from Milwaukee, DeWalt and Hilti and they always want my Bosch. They have started to buy Bosch in the past two years.

 

Oh yeah I forgot the box radio too. Which is loud

 

I have a bunch, well mostly, Bosch stuff, they make good tools just like most other name brand guys.

 

I do trim by trade and use mostly Bosch tools:
15 gauge nailers
12"glide miter saw
18 volt drills/impaxtors
recip saw
multi tool
Power box
table saw
Etc.
I have been very satisfied with the quality and accuracy of their tools for my trade. The durability seems to be good. This is my opinion...what works for me might not work for others...but until I see a quality drop I will continue to align with blue.

 

as a english man we love the bosch! but the fact of the matter is there cr#p is as good as it gets, now lets all goose step .

 

Circular saw
Table saw
Reciprocating saw
Jigsaw
2¼ hp router kit

I've been happy with all of them...

 

track saw? are you in the uk somewhere?

 

Sounds good folks. Most guys I know are either Dewalt, Makita or Milwaukee. I forgot that I've used their rotary hammers/chippers extensively and they are def good quality. I was mostly interested in cordless so it's good to know that many have them and like them.

Thanks again, sounds like some blue tools are in my future.

I just threw that in there to see if anyone was paying attention ! Guess someone was

 

The only Bosch Tool I've ever had was was the saw that the cord plugged in the handle. Didn't like it:no: A partner of mine dropped it once from the trusses, he pulled it up and said I think the tables bent. I said it was already bent:blink: I gave it to him at the end of that job. Never owned another Bosch tool:clap:

 

I liked that saw. The one i have is the wormdrive.:thumbsup: Now the Bosch sidewinders are the worst feeling saw they ever made. Ever since the 80's those saws felt like you pushing a cement block across the board.:laughing:

 

I'm heavy on the blue also:

4100-09 table saw with gravity stand
PB360S job site radio
1590EVSK jigsaw (best jigsaw ever)
ROS20EVSK 5" random orbit sander
RH328VC rotary hammer
1594K power hand planer
PS20 10.8v lithium cordless driver

Never liked their miter saws though.

Bosch's model name cryptology:
"K" means the tool comes with the older style plastic case.
"VS" is variable speed.
"L" is the newer style strainer cases

Doh!!! That saw has a rafter hook and also where the power cord connect, there is a loop for securing the cord. I've been considering buying this worm drive saw. Got a framing job coming up in a few months.

The first Bosch tool I owned was that saw...I didn't like that one either..

 

My first Bosch tool was the Bulldog SDS hammer drill. I bought that 7 years ago and is still a brute. I bought a Bosch jigsaw about 6 years ago, and I still love it. The radio is about 5 years old and reception on it sucks, but that's what the aux input is for. I have no experience with the cordless tools, but I have debated about the miter saw Bosch has, but think I'll go Festool. I have everything else in Dewalt, Milwaukee, or Paslode.

 

how is that a plunge saw? Its just a normal circ saw guided with a rail.

Nothing plunge about that. It's a circ saw that has the option of riding a rail.

 

But the video title at the beginning calls its a plunge saw.

I believe this one will plunge...of course we can't get it here :-(

 

that no frills bosch track saw looks perfect for the deck builder in the other thread.

 

4100 table saw, 10" SCMS, barrel jigsaw, couple of 2 1/4hp routers, orbital sander, 10v impact and driver, laser measurerererer thing, some other stuff I've probably forgotten. All good tools. I prefer Makita for big impacts and drills though and would swap the SCMS for a Kapex. Don't think you can beat the table and jig saws though. And the 5" RO is really really good for $60.

 

jigasaw
power boss
impact 18v
drill 18v
skil saw?

love them all. batteries on the drills last a long time. :thumbup:

 

All circular saws can plunge cut. just some make it easier as they have spring loaded returns. def much nicer and easier to use a proper track saw though.

 

i have the 18v drill,ddh181 and there is an annoying ''trigger lag''
