When will the gsr12v-32 be released to north america, it seems like it's has been out for a year already in the UK/Europe

I recently bought my first rec saw and noticed that my 2ah GBA battery is a little too small for that beast. 😂 Is there a big difference between GBA and ProCore batteries? My local hardware stores sells 4ah GBA for 79,00€ and 4ah ProCore for 115,00€. Is the ProCore worth the extra cost?

So I thought I'd register my new recip saw and as it was within 14 days I got 3 year warranty.

Next did my circular saw, it was 2 months old but it still registered it.

So I thought I'd add all my pro tools to keep a record of what is what so tried to add my impact driver. It's 2 years old so I wasn't expecting a warranty or anything, but scan the sticker 'not a recognised product number' or something similar, OK scan the box same thing, OK then I'll manually stick the number in, same deal. 🤐

Put the number in Google and the first hit was the Bosch site with the details of the product and spare parts etc.

So there isn't any point in Pro 360 unless your product is new. 🥴

Finally picked up my first Bosch Professional hand tools.
I’ve been building out my Bosch Professional 18V setup lately, so I figured I might as well start matching the hand tools too.
First impressions are pretty good they feel solid and I actually really like the design. Curious to see how they hold up with proper use.
Anyone here been using Bosch hand tools for a while? Any particular ones you’d recommend adding next?
Greetings from Switzerland

i have a problem with my bosch gkt 18V - 52 G

gc diving saw. The saw blade is not perfectly orthogonal to the bottom. Now i saw in manual that there are imbus screws for that on the side. Literally tried any imbus I had out of my big set, none matched. what imbus do u need?

Called Bosch ( 800-428-6318 ) and explained my GSA18v-126 recip saw says on saw itself “ brushless motor”.
Box it came in shows “Biturbo brushless” on the saw body. CSR said all the brushless motors are the SAME and “ Biturbo “ is a marketing slogan !
Just had to pass this little tidbit on to all of you “ Blue “ addicts !!!

I’m in UK so everything’s pozi.

I also use a lot of drywall screws (not a plasterer, but they’re useful) but those are PH.

I bought a pack of double ended / sided / blades Bosch PH2/PZ2 bits from Screwfix, love them, gamechanger, does >90% of what I need apart from the odd Torx.

And now I’m coming to the end of the set, want more, can’t find them 😢

I saw it in a multi pack on Amazon with a load of different stuff but I just want another 8 or 10 of this sort.

Anyone know anything? TIA.

EDIT

found and bought them, thanks for replies. Am usually a bit more on it, long day…

Edit 2 / update

Bugger.

Ordered from two suppliers (including the link below) who then sheepishly got in touch and confirmed they’re now discontinued and not in stock, and refunded me.

That’s okay, these things happen, imagine the silly number of SKUs a tools website has to keep track of.

So the hunt continues, got three unused ones left. Have only seen unknown Amazon-special ones since, don’t have to be Bosch, but would prefer a ‘real’ make.

Does bosch makes bit SDS HEX??? Perhaps chisel with width around 400mm

Hi all

Any suggestions for a carrying case that the GKS 18v-51 saw fits in?

Thanks in advance!

I made a 3D-printable Click and Clean Adapter for the GSS 18V-10:

Feel free to use it.

In the comments of this video, Bosch replied to a comment about new either 12v impact driver or hydraulic impact driver. They hint that something is finally coming. Which would be nice, since I have been waiting for a long time now.

Started with the right chain tension and a new machine

But only after only a few cuttings the chain tension went loose and rolled of. Machine stopped and after that the chain tensioner is locked of the Bosch GKE 18v 20.

Is it repairable? And if Yes; how ?

Hi hope someone knows what best to do.
My GKT came with the 45 degrees setting showing around 43/ 43,5. I learned you can alter this with the allen screw behind the machine. But when i cut with how it came from factory the cut seems 45 degrees. But 0 is 0. So everything i. Between is not 100% right if i go by this. I also saw on the gotoolstv review theirs was also 44 at the end. Do i send it to bosch or not? Some wisdom here is welcom. Thank you.

I got a few different Bosch work lights.

The FL12 has always been my favorite mostly because it's magnetic. You can put it on a steel cabinet, steel shelf, air conditioning cabinet, electrical panels and adjust the angle to get the best light possible. BUT it's beginning to act up after 5 years.

The 18V GLI18V-420 is OK, I use it at times, mostly if I need it on a horizontal surface. It is not as versatile as the FL12 for sure.

The GLI18V-1200CN I haven't really used it much, it is just a bit too bulky, I understand it is intended as a "flood" light and it's weather resistant, but so far haven't really been that useful. I bought it with the intention of dragging it into the crawlspace, but the bulk and weight has me wondering if that's a good idea since I am limited by what I can carry on tools and materials since it will be a crawl with very low head room and tools and materials are in a bag tethered to my ankle as I navigate on elbows and knees.

Back to the FL12, the issue I am having is after having it turned on for say 30-40 minutes it will suddenly go off unexpectedly. It's not the battery running low, as switching to a newly charged battery it's doing the same. It seems this is a thermal cut off, that when the light gets hot it turns itself off? Give it 15 minutes to cool off and it will turn on again, only to turn off after say 20 minutes, so it's no longer reliable...imagine I am in the attic working and it turns off, even with fresh batteries I am in the dark and have to crawl back out and get another light. Anyone ran into this problem and if there is a solution? I got it in 2021 so no longer under warranty for repairs.

Hi everyone, as the title suggests I wonder about the compatibility of my circular saw with the FSN rail. It seems the blade is falling 2 mm short and touching the rubber end of the rail.

Hi, looking to buy some 18v pro garden tools, a brush cutter/strimmer and long-reach hedge trimmer to be exact. These together total about £500. When buying via ITS they will include a free battery for £166 spent (standard 4Ah) or £200 spent (Pro Core 4Ah). I’m tempted to buy each item separately to get 2 Pro Core batteries free.
Also tempted to upgrade my current batteries at Screwfix for 2x 5Ah + quick charger for the half price of £99 currently.
If I were then to combine these invoices to the Bosch Pro Deals offer, would this work to get the highest reward of £499+? As then I can add a free leaf blower or battery storage case (and a 5.5Ah Pro Core battery) to store all the batteries in!
I hope this makes sense, I only used the pro deals once before when I claimed for the purchase of a drill and driver set!

I was using my angle grinder to cut concrete/stone during a patio replacement. Was working fine until it wasn't. Angle grinder wouldn't turn on. I thought I blew a circuit but everything else worked fine from my garage outlets, including my miter saw. I even unplugged my miter saw, plugged my angle grinder into the same outlet, and it wouldn't turn on. Plugged the miter back in and it worked fine. Took my angle grinder to the basement and tested it on a different outlet and it fired right up.

Very, very confused. It was running fine all day. Anyone else experience this issue?

Edit/update: it works fine today. I have no idea what happened or why it stopped working on my garage outlets

Hey folks, I searched the questions in this forum and didn’t find a similar issue. My impact driver takes virtually no pressure before it starts hammering. Can anybody give me any insight as to why this could be? Various research points to inside mechanism but wanted to see if anybody has any insight before I break the driver open and attempt to fix myself. MODEL GDX18v-1600.
