As a residential electrician I found small 12V kept me working at the same speed with lightening my load. Only pulled out the 18V for commercial jobs with long monotonous jobs (more tool wear and battery life) and heavy punches through masonry.

Totally agree

Love my 12v Bosch power tools , the drill and the circular saw are outstanding for their size. I have a driver that I bought about 20 years ago, when they first brought out the 10.8v range, and it's still going strong on its original battery, it has a hex bit holder in it, but still comes in handy from time to time. Have always been a Bosch user and fan, I'm a plumber by trade, but currently work in maintenance.

Just a week ago I bought those tools set And I did my project with it It was great tools especially the circular saw

Recently bought a 12v Bosch 1/4" impact. I love the shape & balance but find it most comfortable when using the trigger with my middle finger. Tiny yet powerful!

I was a little worried about installing the blade after reading a couple of reviews. But it was amazingly easy. Took about 1 minute. Works great kzread.infoUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c . Cuts easily and is perfect for pocket cuts I needed to make for replacing some old deck boards.

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing these useful information. I'm also 12V guy and constantly expanding my tools for my needs. GSB 12V-30 brushless drill, GDR 12V-110 brushless impact, GLL 3-80 CG laser level, GLM 50-27 CG laser meter, GTC 600C thermal camera, D-tect 120 detector, GLI 12V-80 light, two GLI 12V-330 lights and bunch of 3Ah batteries. Also noticed your LR7 laser receiver which is a must have for outdoor use, Cheers!

been eyeballing the 12volt system for a minute since im already invested in the 18v. welll today after doing a welding project for a guy i seen he had a 12v drill new in box and i asked him about it and he said he hasnt even opened it, then he procedes to go inside and grabs his old one and told me that when his old house got hit by one of the tornadoes in my area he lost that tool in the rubble and 6 months later through winter and spring he had found in under everything and it still worked and it was lost with the battery in it still. that kind of sold me on it honestly

It’s a lovely set of tools, but do remember that they don’t have the same grunt that the 18v system has. But they are great for small jobs where the 18v gear is just so much heavier. Thanks for watching.

Adquiri todas !! Excelente ferramentas !! 😉☺️👍🏻

"and dont leave them in the rain" hahaha. So true, work with limitations of your tools and do not neglect them and they will last a long time.

Exactly what I was looking for -- a comprehensive overview. Nicely done -- thank you.

My turn! I love @Bosch tools.

I have 2 of those drills. Of course not so much power as bigger 18V tools but very good for several works. Good thing is that not too heavy so nice to work even longer . Sometimes I have put non stop several hundreds stopping screws into aluminium profile and it works great.

Bosch is so good love there tools

Thanks, Great review of the 12 Volt Bosch blue range ! I think I have found few more to add to my kit :)

Glad I could help, there be two more videos when I get a chance. One on the planner and another on the pipe detector.

The angle grinder is perfect for trimming hooves, horse hooves, with a Werkman disk, which looks like a wood carving disc but is specific for hooves. Hoof trimmers who use angle grinders have a hard time finding a tool like this. The more common 4 inch grinders are too big and too noisy and scare the animals. The Hoof Boss is marketed specifically for hooves, but Bosch is the best in my view. Living in the US, I ordered mine from abroad, as they weren't being sold in the US. A touch up trim requires one battery, but more extensive work, like overgrown walls and bad dorsal angles might end up requiring two 2.0 batteries for just one horse. You can even turn the grinder on its side for targeted overgrown bars. The rasp is still handy for a smooth and level finishing touch, and to sight evenness between heels and overall of the walls.

You wont be disappointed, lovely little light.

I bought into the Bosch Professional 12v system, largely because of the drill which takes modules for right angle, hex drive, offset drive, or any combination. The brushless version is quite powerful. I have the circular saw, which I converted to plunge operation and made a mini-track for it. Great for small cuts. My 18v is DeWalt, but both they and Makita have got their 12v range wrong- 3 cells in the grip is the way to go. Bosch have really upped their game with the blue (professional) range.

The planer is really good. Wanted the router but i just got the m18

Thanks for the video. I started with the Bosch 12V flexiclick drill, then bought the router (which I love) and the 12V jigsaw (which I don't enjoy using), and I'm now wondering about getting the circular saw. Apart from the maximum cut depth, would you say there are any other disadvantages of using it vs a regular-sized circular saw?

@PhilipHollowaychannel

2 жыл бұрын

It’s a lovely small saw, it cuts wood easily and is great for small jobs. Disadvantages are mainly battery power and battery run time for using it as a main saw, i would use an 18v system. But I’m glad i have it and it does have a place in my working life.
