[NEW for Bosch in 2015: 36 Volts Garden tools !]

Madman !

Here's some more info:

 

Keep in mind that this is not all official Bosch news yet.  It's from an inside Bosch powerpoint but the information seems to be quite far already so I suppose not much will be changing by the time it's out officially.

 

 

1.  At the left.  Brushcutters.

 

GFR 36 V-LI 251M   &  GFR 36 V-Li 421L

 

• EC Brushless Motor powered by the 36V 6AH Battery.
• Power comparable to gas engine
• 75 to 90 minutes of worktime for the GFR 36 V-LI 251M
• 40 to 60 minutes of worktime for the GFR 36 V-LI 421L
• 89Db noise.  Quite low !
• Fully Waterproof

 

I'm not sure what the Difference between the 2 models is but i suppose the "Width" of trimming and thus power usafe involved.  Only 1 model is pictured in the powerpoint .

 

2. At the top:  Hedge Trimmers

 

Not more information in the powerpoint on these.  We do see 1 battery and i would suppose it's also powered by a Brushless Ec motor to get comparable power to Gas models.    They do have a date stamp of  3/15 so hopefully March will bring more news !

 

3. In the dead center:  The 36V  6Ah Battery

 

 

Dutch language on here.  Basically it says the following:

 

• Weatherproof for use in all weather conditions
• Powerfull, robust and long runtime
• 2.3 kg weight
• Bosch coolpack tehcnology
• LCd display to show percentage of remaining charge ( and possibly over heating codes / error codes etc... )

Small brushless circ saw is something we haven't seen here yet in Europe.

And the mitre saw with vertical bars neither

[New Makita tools confirmed for the US!]

No plans for that at this moment according to my makita representative the markets where makita is very big: europe and their home country really dont have too big 12 volt sales yet

[New jig saw]

Cool cool

[Got a new hammer drill today.]

Gonna serv you well powerhouse drill !

[What drives me nuts about cordless circular saws]

Makita has both options here in belgium on cordless Models

[New jig saw]

Yeah i also believen the jigsaw was a Bosch invention

[Makita drill deal?]

Thought makita was the only one. Ah wel.

It was a marketing decision with good intent but it backfired on them simpel as that.

Luckily they still make kick ass tools

[XMT03Z Multitool]

Yup the regular one like Bosch. Would also recommend the Bosch bits

Cant go wrong with that tool neither. Good addition for your lxt line up

[dewalt drill and torch acting strange!]

Know anyone else with thesame type of tools that you can test your batteries on?  Or perhaps the store where you bought em.

[dewalt drill and torch acting strange!]

Sounds like the battery indeed

A longer hose will also reduce suction power tho?

[Makita brushless drywall screwdriver]

Nothing seen about that yet

[Makita brushless drywall screwdriver]

Makita australia testing has it at about 1800 drywall screws on 1 battery

[New guy from a van down by the river]

Welcome !

[Hilti TE 4-A18 vs. DeWalt DCH213]

For the user it hardly matters if the thing has a 36 volt or 18 volt motor inside.

 

All he wants is to pop in thesame batteries he uses on all his other tools and get to working.  In that regard the 2x 18Volt idea is fantastic.
