Bosch

I started off with some Bosch drills but when I got my Milwaukee drills they superseded the Bosch, they are good drills but I think you can get more for your money elsewhere

Very well made, reliable tools. I have used the "Starlock Multitool" for a number of years now and is fantastic for most situations. Has got me out of trouble a number of times in the past and will continue to do so.

Always look for bosch bits when buying accessories, blades, drill bits etc. Always good quality, good price and wide range of bits. Recip saw blades are good quality and long lasting. Can get handy little storage boxes with the multipacks too

I love love love all my Bosch 18v tools. They stand up to anything chucked at them and in todays market between black and yellow or red I think these are easily top tier tools and reasonably priced too.

Never had a problem with the amount of hammer the Bosch 36 volt sds gets. Use it for coring holes out for flues and whatever and manages just find. If you look after your tools they will look after you

I've a variety of Bosch Blue and Bosch Green tools. Blue for work and heavy use, a few Green tools for home use and the garden. The batteries are solid and I've had no issues with them. There are a wide range of Bosch Blue batteries available and they can be swapped between tools (18v or 12v ranges). I've had a couple of Blue tools that needed fixing and one Green router. All went back to Bosch by courier, and all were returned repaired, refurbished or almost new in short order. Support is excellent.

Not a big Bosch power tool person the only thing I have is the sds max which is a hell of a tool that I will never be with out but my favourite things from Bosch are the tool accessories the multi material drill bits are incredible so well made brilliant drilling and last for ever the self drilling spade bits are brilliant and my favourite is the curved multi tool blade so so good I prefer it to the fein one as its as clean and quick and that bit cheaper

Got this Bosch detector and its brilliant compared to the other detectors I have.
It even detects rebar in concrete walls so well worth the money, 100% recommended

Always looked at Bosch as diy ameteur level ut some of their high end range are good for professional level and compete with some of the best in the game. Great product range as well as spec range price range. Good solid brand overall.

I have a Bosch laser measure tool and it hasnt let me down yet it always works and every once in a while all I have to do is change the battery

I use bosch for all my cordless power tools. Fantastic brand with a great warranty. Their online system for registration is easy to you. Also gave away free batteries this year on new tools

I have had a selection of power tools for around 8 years now and for the most part they have been great. The 36v SDS takes a beating but I am on my 3rd drill on that space of time.

The boiler for the older generation

Used to be the top boilers on the market bar none, unfortunately they started lumping plastic into it and as we all know heat and plastic don't mix unfortunately still pay for the name

That said good range and new boilers look like they could be on the right path again

My first choice for power tools and cordless systems
Never let me down, still have several 110v tools but slowly moving over to cordless as they wear out
Have owned several tools for more than 15 years

The bosch speed wood bits which are often on offer at screwfix are great. Very sharp and cut quickly. The impacts from bosch also seem to last a while and have a great fit into screws

This review is not about any particular tool sold here just a general review about my experience with bosch power tools. Ive had a chop saw, nail gun and orbital sander from bosch and also used the corded mutli cutter. Performance and features are always top with bosch but reliability is very much hit and miss. The big sds drills are good and so was the chop saw i had. Everything else i have had or used did not stand up to long term site use like makita and dewalt equivalents.

Great quality brand power tools , had my 36 volt drill for 15 years and still going strong. Easy to use and has never let me down, built to last and is a brand I would look at first if I required a new powertool

Have had bosch tools since I started my carpentry career. Will always stay with them, amazing tools and made to the highest quality. When ever I have had a problem (rare problem) I could call the bosch customer services and get things sorted. They have done some amazing deals lately, I recently had a brand new circular saw for free after making a purchase and when I bought the new Bi-turbo mitre saw I received a free brand new Pro core battery to with it. Cannot go wrong with bosch Pro tools.

I have used my set of Bosch drills ,impactors and Drivers for over 5 years and batterys and drills still working well.
Very happy with my Product purchase when we started with business

I purchased the Bosch professional 18v range complete kit and it’s superb. Never had a problem with any of it and the 4ah batteries seem to last a decent length of time ( depending on use)

I have used and tested Bosch products both cardless and wired and love the quality of them I have also repaired them and they are well built

I use a Bosch corded table saw and mitre saw. These have been very reliable and versatile on site. They are both very accurate and robust, having taken a few knocks. The dust extraction ports on both tools are also very good and with my extractor connected there is little dust. These should be a serious contender if you are in the market for new saws.

Good luck trying to contact customer service absolute nightmare,all the range of cordless power tools are every bit as good if not better than any other make,they are expensive compared to others.

I have used various Bosch items for years. I have tried lots of other brands but I keep coming back to Bosch for drill bits, saw blades, just about any cutting edge. No need to look anywhere else.

I still have my first Bosch cordless drill that's over 15 years old now and it refuses to die. More recently I'm loving the multi talented reciprocating saw blades ! No matter what material I'm cutting, they sail through it without complaint.

A very big company with its name on a lot of things.
As with all big companies they do some things well and others not so well.
Be had a few items over the years and they have been fairly good, an orbital sander that has been going over 5 years and a multitool that only just lasted past the warranty.

Been a great brand for years my dad used this brand before me and I used this brand at first great tools for the money reliable and competitive in the tool market

I’ve not had much experience with their power tools but I have come across them and they seem pretty good but what I do use on an almost daily basis are their drill bits (wood bits, masonry bits, etc) they are Bob on can’t fault them at all, easily the best wood bits and masonry bits for the price point.

Bosch rushed to do two ranges a blue one and a green one, the blue was fir professionals and green were fir DIYers, l got a blue SDS drill over ten years ago and it still works like it’s new, a great product,
I don’t know if Bosch still have to ranges but there more expensive products are as good as any products similarly priced rivals

Is over 20 years been using Bosch drill very strong and very reliable tools will never replace them. If you need worth to your money don’t look further Bosch is the one

With Bosch it's hit or miss, saying that their customer care is superb but you have to weigh up is buying their product worth the effort to call their customer service for advice. I've managed to use their combi drill on a few occasions and found it just as good as the other top brands with easy use functions like mode settings and sds bit change.

I bought the Bosch core drill set & dust extractor recently and I’m really happy with them so far , the set comes in a decent sturdy chest that’s on wheels which comes in very handy

I bought the boschh 18v impact driver and combi drill at least 4 years ago and although it's not in use daily I do use them regularly and have completed some very large jobs with them and I just can't fault them they just keep on going

I’ve used Bosch power tools and accessories for the past 15 years.
Great build quality and reliability.
Always my go to brand.
I’ve had the 36v SDS drill for over 10 years.
There are lighter drills out there, it’s been in for repair just once in the ten years and has been very handy.

It’s good product and it’s very nice it’s very powerful most the people used it now a days for most of the it’s very easy to used I like it for it design and it looks

Bosch self feeding spade bits are a gift from the gods, beat any other spade auger forstner drill bit I’ve used and never had one get blunt because they always get stolen before I have the chance to use them up, either way great bits

Have been using my Bosch Cordless Drill for more than 9 years now and going strong. The battery life is incredible for a product a charge so often and the drill motor just keeps giving. Can’t beat it.

Bosch 240v circular saw, this boy glides through marine ply, great bit of kit, obviously much more powerful than its 18v cousins. Great hard boxwith it too.

My 36v bosch sds drill is my best and oldest power tool. Quality of it is great and drills through anything. Bit noisy when on rotary only but mainly use on hammer. Batteries are expensive.

I have been lucky enough to win a pre sale release version of the Bosch GPB 18V-2 SC site radio. This is a very good looking piece of kit and clearly a lot of care has gone into its design. The quality of the sound is excellent and with FM, DAB+, AUX and Bluetooth connectivity their is plenty of choice of what to listen to. It even features a usb port to charge your phone on site. There is also the ability to pair 2 of these radios together and set them to act as left and right for true stereo sound on site.

I'm a big fan of Bosch stuff in general. Had a corded plane years ago and it felt like a rollsroyce going through the wood. Anyway, what i have these days mostly is blades for multi tool, screwdriver bits for impact driver and other anglegrinder blades. All top notch!

There combi drill and impact wrench are amazing value for money. Don’t have a single fault, great power and drive. Battery length is admirable.

The Bosch 12v impact driver and drill driver is all you need as a service tech, enough power and nice and small .. as you are going from job to job, I did fine the the battery’s could of done with bigger AH .

Very good tools, very strong and reliable, do everything they are supposed to. Chucked about in my van and are very robust and long lasting.

Bought the multiplex 18v drill with offset,angled, suspension and standard chuck. This amazing for fitting kit hens and getting into tight areas. It came with an lboxx which aren't the best offer a good way to stack everything. Came with 5ah batteries x 2 and a charger. Couldn't be happier.

I have been using Bosch pro equipment for many years, I upgraded about two years ago and found the quality less than expected for the price. I don’t think the design is for everyday use. It would be interesting to find out the difference between the pro and non pro equipment, apart from the price. The 10v drill driver and impact driver are great for light work, I tend to use them more than any other.

Bosch has good range of item for smell jobs or big jobs for range of users, however the standard DIY tools have very poor battery quality and Its power keep drops even when not using so you need to keep recharging each time on the job,

Have been using the larger tools for many years. Great quality. We cannot fault the large chop saw and breaker. I'd be been lost without them.

Have been using power tools for 8 years and I must say for the money these are great aswell as all the other products they make like cookers

Great power tool makes life a lot easier its a bosch sds drill that goes through brick like butter everyone likes it and its blue the light is great to see with

I recently used a Bosch 18v compact drill and was really pleased with the overall product, always had other brands not Bosch but it was balanced, relatively light and the Chuck was good. Good battery performance from a3Ah lithium battery too. Good range of tools that all fit the same batteries as with other brands this seems to be the way it’s going

Brilliant brand with great tools wouldn’t use anything else. They don’t feel cheap, would be lost without these tools everyday. Great value for money with massive savings to be found. Customer support is 10/10 emails answered quick and efficiently!

This is reputed to be a premium brand but of late their customer service is slow and rude, their products are dipping in quality and prices are sky high. Pro deals are few and far between and overall brand loyalty is waning.

Bosch "blue" power tools are for the trade. Similar in design to some of the green DIY tools, but inside are better components for daily use rather than occasional. Hard wearing. Its good gear right enough, but when things do break down they really excel. The blue stuff has a year guarantee that if you register your product within 4 weeks of purchase, they upgrade free to 3 years. If anything fails, they send a courier out to wherever you're working, collect the faulty item and repair/replace and return it to you within a few days. All under warranty. Now that is service!

Well built , comfortable, durable tools , great range of 18 volt cordless and corded powertools can be abit more expensive than other makes but you get what you pay for.

Great products, just not as heavy duty as some of our work kit that we use on a daily basis. Cant take quite the same punishment and battery life isn’t quite as good but for the money it’s not bad.

I have a Bosch table saw the best thing I’ve bought not the cheapest but Theo Epstein of the best on the market
Would definitely recommend to anyone

The professional range is excellent. Never had a problem with any of their tools. Drill bits are excellent aswell. Some are rather pricy but the initial outlay of one purchase vs 5 works out cheaper in the long run. The machines are usually better specked more torque etc etc

We have 3 if their dust extractors and can't fault anyone them. The special filter cleaning mode help them run at the best efficiency all the time ensure not a bit of dust is missed.

Brilliant Sds cordless 36v drill so handy to have and easy to use
Didn’t think I was going to use it that much but is with me all the time

I have rang technical a couple of times and it’s lucky if you get a good person on the other end, parts can be a challenge to change, there is a good range of products, and the price is on a par with most.

My Father in Law has their wired SDS Drill which I occasionally used it was great versatile built to last and did a great job. Would highly recommend getting one.

Really like the Bosch range I’ve had a hammer drill for years now and it’s still going strong never let me down also got a Bosch planer good solid units

I used to have Bosch before I turned to Milwaukee and to be honest my Combi wasn't great, the chuck was forever sticking and the batteries didn't seem to last that long.

Really good all round products my college used them back when I was in training and I liked them a lot good quality but not as good as other power tool brands

Love this product I’ve been using it for about 5 years now , always will use Bosch and Bosch appliances ! I will be buying a combi and impact drill next

Got a Bosch mitre saw it’s brilliant! Fresh out of the box cut bang on and perfect every single time didn’t need any adjustments just worked how it should. Really power as well was cutting 8 inch pine skirting on 45’s with no problem!

I now have drill, jigsaw from the green range supported by 3 year guarantee. Also drill/driver from the blue range. Never let me down. Batteries hold the charge so the tool is always ready for use.

Bosch gbh36vf-li great tool for big jobs like coring through brick and chiselling out. Had mine for 4 years now and it's still going strong.

Solid German manufacturing, been around for years and the professional range is up their with the best, just not the widest range of tools . Value for money

I find the sds 36v hammer chisel and drill combi drill works well and dose a dose what it is designed to do battery life is fantastic works right to the end continues use rewire servicing more often but what a machine weight and balance a bit challenging but over all it gets the job done

Have had a 9" grinder for approx 10 yrs it's still in fair condition and going strong. I believe the older Bosch equipment to be better than the new stuff. Also own variable speed jigsaw which is similar age still going well does everything required of it. All in all I believe there not worst of power tools.

I’ve always found Bosch tools to be reliable, well made and value for money. With good performing interchangeable batteries I tend to look at the Bosch range first

Great tools with amazing customer service no to expensive for what you get would definitely recommend ( drills sanders hoovers impact drivers)

Used Bosch tools for years always quality and value. Often good deals everywhere and they last well under pressure. Mid range prices but worth the money.

Bosch 12v range excellent tools.
Drill driver has good torque and long battery life.
Mini gri der great for small fringing and cutting jobs.

Got the Bosch six piece set as a base and have added from there. The l-boxx storage helps keep it all neat and tidy in the workshop. The prices seem reasonable for the quality of the product and the batteries are relatively cheap compared to most other brands. All in all the brand seems to be a pretty solid package just not quite the variety of tools yet

I've been working with Bosch kit for forty odd years now, what seems to be the difference from other kit is they start with a hand and build a tool not the other way around

Very good and reliable power tools. Good selection and range to pick from always had Bosch power tools and never had any problems with them they are very good quality and very reliable and I would always use them

All good quality is great well built robust and takes abuse daily
Tends to get nicked less often than dewalt or makita when your on site as it’s not a popular because it a bit more expensive

Really not a fan of bosch had alot of bad experianeces with the brand will never buy again dont think there robust enough of last long enough

I have a 36 volt sds drill that I have used constantly in my day to day work, its never let ,me down. It can cut a 4" hole in blocks/bricks like a hot knife through butter. Highly recommended.

I av many bosch tools 3 whitch not 1 of them av let me down .the batterys do wear out just like any other tool but not 2 expensive to replace dont think I would change 2 anything else

I started off with Bosch professional power tools years ago and they are really good quality products! I found the new procore batteries to be a massive improvement!
I frequently use my Bosch work light which can be controlled by my phone app.
Really good.
Will be buying new Bosch dab stereo when it comes out!!

Good quality tools, slightly pricer then some, but last for a long time. I have the combo drill and 36v drill and have always worked well. The only negative in the multi cutter is the cost of the blades and not being interchangeable with the cheaper versions

Great products and after sales
Care. Always good warranty’s and any issues sorted quickly although rarely experience any. I’ve had drills, sanders and even washing machines from Bosch.

Corded tools are brilliant. Always good quality, with a much longer cord than most other brands which always helps when moving round a work piece or area. I used the repair service once when in warranty and it was spot on

Best brand on the market used Bosch powertools for years now never let me down there Lboxx system is unbelievable it’s Robust and easy to just grab one off the stack as they are all stackable,

Bosh screwdriver. Fantastic little tool with long battery life. Perfect for flatpack furniture and other small little domestic job. This screwdriver fits lovely In the hands.

Good equipment, reliable and lasts, would recommend this equipment as it works well and lasts the distance. Have had a lot of this equipment and still have it 20 years later. Still works as good as new.

Bosch cordless drill bought approximately 4 years ago, found the wireless charging a bit naff and the drill guttless. Solder in fuse blew as well

Some of their tools are definitely up the with the big leagues and others are just not worth the box their put in. I’m very 50/50 with Bosch

The bosch 18v 55 GKT cordless plunge saw. Very nice piece of kit very powerful coupled with the 8ah procore battery, The only downside to this excellent machine that I've come across is the blade size is a very difficult size to obtain, Trend don't even make one for it which really could make someone not want to buy one which is a shame because it really is a great machine.

Always used to be for DIY in early days but they are my favourite drills to use abs compete with dewalt abs makita if not better recently was a Bosch ratchet spanner set that looks smart will have to try one of these out soon I think

Personally think Bosch overall in every department are the most consistent for me. Over the years have always put my trust into the tools the seems to never let you down. If whenever you do have a problem which is very rare. Customer services are on the ball and willing to help you with your situation and always come up with a solution.
That’s why my ratings are so high.
Thanks

I bought a small BOSCH bag for my grinder/ Combi. It served well as a bag however it had a loose lining for the pouch holder but still is robust. The Velcro still holds and withstands a bashing.

A bit hit and miss with various Bosch products. Probably me as opposed to them as I know they are a good company and have a very large, well resourced R and D department. Happy with their multi-tool, less impressed with their delta sander I had bought in the past.

Alway had excellent tool from Bosch especially the grinder good price works excellently
Planner good not as accurate as I would like!
Multi excellent extremely useful

Reliable
Long lasting
Plenty of choice
Reasonable prices
Good for every day use
Bluetooth options
Up to the task
Long lasting
Plenty of choice
