D W Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I've noticed over the last few months that Bosch is becoming much harder to buy here. Two major online retailers seem to no longer sell them. I also don't know of anywhere selling the 12V line anymore. Anyone have any info on what's going on? Bunnings still have them, maybe they'll become exclusive there like Ryobi is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Just an update: I went to Sydney Tools yesterday to try and get an L-Boxx and the sales staff said they are clearing their stock as Bosch have indeed made an exclusive deal with Bunnings. Wtf. Now I don't know if this is 100% true or whether I misheard him, but I definitely think this is very bad news for everyone except Bunnings and their shareholders. Imagine what we will pay for Bosch tools now. Look at what they did to Ryobi prices in Australia. I don't understand how this can be legal. What's stopping the big guys getting exclusive deals with most, if not all of the major brands (which would essentially wipe out anyone else)? Capitalism before people and the greater good (yet again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Earlier this year Bosch pulled out of most stores. They were only going to use Bosch, Total Tools and one other. I believe this is still the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Is Bosch going to do this in Europe and North America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I still can't find Bosch 12V tools anywhere in Australia. Bunnings and total tools don't have them.😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebay AUS has a limited selection, mostly from a Korean seller. They are expensive however. There's also Ebay USA. I also have concerns about warranty. I would imagine there wouldn't be any.
