Hi all, thought some people might be interested in a little video we made at Bosch in the UK recently. Talking about the future of cordess power tools among other things. Cheers.
Hi I watched this video and its me that commented on YouTube about it not fitting my circular saw here’s a photo of the lip that gets in the way , I have cut it off now [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Wow that’s a big oversight on Bosch’s part. The saw is where you would really want extra runtime.

Yeah a little, I trimmed that bottom lip off with my multi tool and now it fits a treat I know we shouldn’t have to do that but I bought the battery to be used mainly on the circular saw and the grinder !
I know bosch have released a new circular saw so I bet it hasn’t got the lip on the new model.

Have you had enough time running the new battery to get a feel for run time?

Not really but I used it for a day swapping between jigsaw and grinder and it only dropped 2 out of the 5 bars on the battery but it’s not like I can say exactly how much work I did but it was a fair amount !
When I really put it to the test I will report back but so far I like the battery

I’m interested in switching from makita and I hear a lot of good things about Bosch. They make everything even car parts, I’ve had Bosch oil filters, wiper blades and 02 sensors lol. What is the difference between the green and blue Bosch tools?

An update on the battery , been using it on my grinder a lot and it has really impressed me , it lasts ages has a lot of power and just doesn’t bog down its got a lot more torque using the Eneracer !

I like how they said in the video that cordless is the future. “You don’t want to go up and down ladders carrying cables around with you”. So true.
Hey @Craigh9916 do you know if the eneracer fits in the powerboss radio?

I used to be able to watch a tool retailer in the UK’s tool channel but they region locked their videos now for some reason.

Is that Tool Stop?
Yep Tool Stop that was the store
I hope Bosch will be quicker to get out new tools to take advantage of this new battery tech. That’s the one thing holding them back is their lack of variety of cordless tools. It probably has a lot to do with Bosch being a huge company and the tools section only being one little part of it.

Yeah I agree I have this battery and lots of bosch 18v tools with plenty of batteries but I’ve ended up buying the dewalt 18v mitre saw as bosch don’t make one and I had waited long enough !

Does their drill has the same technology as the new Hilti where if the drill twists too hard it will stop power to the tool or is it different?

Yes, they have had the Anti-Kickback technology since the HDS183/DDS183 days.
