satchmodog Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Damn, too bad it's not a recall of the Bosch Slim. I punished that grinder for a decade and it finally shat the bed. I'm sure it could have been repaired, but for how inexpensive they are, not worth it. I cannot believe Bosch discontinued the Slim model. WTF?? A grinder with a thin enough housing to make it super comfortable to use and they shelve it. Just stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 We also had to sent back all our gws 18 v like grinders with the 6.3 eneracer batteries. Bosch will remove the brake from these grinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
