  1. Yeah right!! May is their standard answer for US realeases....and then 9-12 months later it hits. I may have paid a surcharge by getting it now and shipping from across the pond but I am ok with that. I did it for the 12v jiggy and was super happy with it. I was using mine for over a year before it hit the States.

  2. Definitely not a have to have item but when they came out with the 18v version I said if they ever release it in the 12v platform I would snag it up. It's a NAINA item right now. Shipped in from the UK. The attachments seem very well built. Large bearings in the ends. Metal splines at the attachment point. I really like that you can put the other attachments on the right angle attachment.c340c01012eb556affc0a04425529420.jpg9220ed87dd3af197f1364f8ea1faf229.jpgf596983e672d0db184528e1cc4222ffa.jpg

  3. Bosch is great about teasing about new releases and then taking a year or more to actually get it to the market. This new Colt has been rumored for well over a year now. I got tired of waiting and ordered the original Colt a few months ago. It is a good router kit. I have the plunge base as well and that makes a great setup.

  4. I prefer the smaller size for sure. If you want you can buy the collated attachment for the larger 18v drill and it will work on this one.

    This tool and the 12v jiggy are 2 of the best Bosch 12v tools out right now imho. I don't like their 18v line but love their 12v line.

  5. Nice! I imported one over a year ago. It is a great size. I bought the kit which came with the newer 2.5 ah batts. Screw length is critical to good operation. It doesn't have the most powerful motor in the world. Run 1-5/8" screws with 1/2" drywall in yellow pine and it struggles. Switch to 1-1/4" and it is like a whole new drill. It does very well with fine thread in metal.

  6. Been a Quickbooks user for 16 years. There is a learning curve and takes some time to setup right but worth it. All we do is send the monthly backup to our accountant and they file payroll and taxes from that. Every single purchase and bill gets entered and tagged to a job.

  7. All 12v Bosch batteries will work in their 12v tools. The newer batteries have higher AH ratings and will last a little longer. They will charge using your existing chargers.

     

     

     

     

     

     

  8. sounds nice. My right angle impact attachment seems to work for now at least.
    I noticed the right angle attachment has a flexiclick connection at the end unlike the 18v version.which has a normal drill chuck at the end. Seems beneficial to have the option to add any attachment to the right angle attachment particularly the offset driver.

    That is what I like. So you could use the 90 degree adapter and the offest driver for a super duper around the corner tight screw...lol!

  9. You thinking Axminster or Toolstop or somebody else?


    It was someone else. These aren't in stock everywhere. If it goes through and they ship to the US I will pass along the site.

  10. are tools with flexiclick or similar offerings from festool and metabo worth it or just a gimick?

    I'll let you know. I may habe found a seller in the UK who will ship me a kit. Waiting to hear back.

  11. Looks like the 12v version is finally getting released across the pond. I don't know what the guy in the video is saying but I think he successfully swapped the head from his new Flexiclick which is a brushed motor over to one of his EC driver bodies and motor. Pretty cool. I will be importing this kit.
