Shhhhhhh.......I know I know......
I'm keen to get practical feedback on Bosch powertools. The range of tools on offer is pretty good to be honest and I already have many Bosch drill bits, spade(paddle) bits, augers, holesaws and laser. I've been really happy with them, and the bonus is their items are easy to get hold of; I can go down to a local supplier and pick up most of the Bosch accessory/consumable range, which is important for me.
I'm after:
Cordless SDS
Cordless Drill & Impact Driver - 18v I think
Cordless screwdriver - 10.8v I think
240v SDS - maybe?
The trouble is their range is so vast, it's bamboozling. I have spoken with Bosch UK and they have a test/demo room which is normally used for dealers but they said I can come along and test any of their tools before I buy, which is exactly what I was after. I really can't see myself trolling through the spec sheets of all their 10-20 cordless drills, no thanks.
I work mostly with cabling and my main uses are:
• SDS a lot - soft brick and hard as well
• Impact driver with spade(paddle) bits for going through joists etc
• Holesaws & augers, 16-32mm mostly but sometimes 32-114mm holesaws
• Some wood work
• General driving and drilling in plasterboard, brick, wood etc
I love Festool stuff and have a number of Festie items, although for my work I'm less sure Festie is the way to go. Like wise, I love Hilti, but don't really need the real heavy duty stuff.
I currently use mostly Makita 18v stuff at work, works very well. Some things I'd like to change but overall quite happy.
These tools would be for personal use mostly but I might bring them to work as well.
Thanks for your input.
