Great video. Great features! What TPI were you using for the wood blade? Looks like with an even more aggressive blade this thing would totally plow through timber.
This isn’t my platform but I love that everyone is outshining Dewalt on the features right now, they’ll be forced to elevate their game with stuff like this for competition.
You’re right it would. I’ll have to check the TPI.
Competition is the mother of innovation!
Looks like a really ergonomic saw. With a fair bit of features. I like the design. Feeling I might get into the bosch cordless range? they are expensive but they are really good quality tools.
yep they’re great. In Aus they’re in the same price range as Dewalt / Makita / Milwaukee etc.
Your right, this saw is awesome. They will be coming out here shortly. We tried one out and love it. Works great with the new Core Battery for run time.
Oh, Bosch…you’re such a tease to us in the US, where you come out with new tools at a snail’s pace…
So weird to me. I know Bosch makes high quality stuff… but how many things do they have in their cordless lineup? Is it more than 10? I’m sure it is, but there are times where I feel like they are holding their buyers hostage. They make quality stuff and the research is excellent, but they are so slow for new adaptations and tools. Woof.
Bosch have all the main stuff, and a few bonuses
Drills: drivers, hammers, SDSs
Impacts: driver, hybrid, compact wrench, big wrench
Saws: Sabres, Circular, Metal Cut, Bandsaw, Jigsaws
Other tools: Grinders, Nailer, Sander, Multi-tool, Flexi-click
Accessories: Vacuum, Lights, Radios
What do you think they lack?
The previous post is me showing ignorance. I wasn’t aware of those tools being out, probably because I never see them or have seen them advertised. @dwain
Well as a tool reviewer I ought to have a better feel for their range than the average tradie 😉

Nope. Only person I ever challenge is myself! I’m just saying when the tools are available, our type tends to know about them before the average tradie does haha..dwain wrote:

haha I know! I was just wanting to start some sort of cordless tool trivia challenge 😉
With the bosch stuff… does Home Depot carry most of their cordless options? I pretty much never see it there… every HD I walk into looks like it’s sponsored by Milwaukee and DeWALT.
I like it! I do expect you to know more specifics about the tools, so you could ask us the questions, and I wouldn’t even mind if you threw in some trivia about tools that only you guys know about. Wink Wink loldwain wrote:

If you want to buy Bosch at a store you’re much better off going to Lowe’s.
Touché, sir. That makes sense…I never see the stuff because I rarely go to lowes!
@dwain how did you find the vibration level compared to other saws?
I just gathered up a heap of manufacturer specs for vibration (posted in the Metabo section). On paper, this saw has remarkably low vibration! Perhaps the lowest of all full sized 18V saws.
I haven’t really compared side to side so it’s hard to say. But my gut feel is that it’s vibration is going to be class-leading or there abouts.
