Bosch Power Tools is a leader in the power tool industry, constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at some of their latest products, which we had the opportunity to test out firsthand.
First up is the Bosch 18V CORE18V Lithium-Ion 6.3 Ah Battery. This battery is designed to provide up to 20% longer runtime and up to 2 times longer life than previous Bosch batteries. We tested the battery by using it to power a circular saw, and were impressed with how long the battery lasted without needing to be recharged. We also appreciated that the battery is compatible with all 18V Bosch tools.
Next, we tested the Bosch Blaze Pro 165′ Laser Measure. This laser measure is designed to be accurate up to 1/16 inch and has a range of up to 165 feet. We used it to measure the distance between two walls, and found it to be very precise. We also liked that it has a backlit color display for easy reading, and that it can calculate area, volume, and indirect measurements.
Another product we tested was the Bosch GBA18V80 18V Lithium-Ion 8.0 Ah Battery. This battery is designed to provide up to 50% longer runtime than previous Bosch batteries, and we found that to be true in our testing. It also has a built-in LED fuel gauge to let you know how much power is left, and is compatible with all 18V Bosch tools.
We also got to try out the Bosch 12V Max Palm Edge Router, which is a compact router designed for trimming and edging wood. It has a 12V battery and is compatible with all Bosch 12V Max batteries. We used it to trim some wood pieces and were impressed with how precise it was. We also liked that it has a transparent base for better visibility.
Finally, we tested the Bosch GKF12V-25N 12V Max EC Brushless Palm Edge Router Kit. This kit includes the palm edge router as well as a battery and charger. The router is designed to provide fast and precise cuts, and we found it to be a great addition to our tool collection. We appreciated that it is compact and easy to use, and that it has a soft-grip handle for added comfort.
Overall, we were impressed with the latest offerings from Bosch Power Tools. Their batteries provide longer runtime than previous models, their laser measure is accurate and versatile, and their routers are precise and easy to use. We look forward to seeing what else they have in store for the future.
