When I started in construction this summer, I used the contractor’s Bosch Bulldog when he worked on my childhood home.
What an amazing experience!!
Since then I have come to work for him and used Ridgid, Milwaukee, DeWalt, and Makita stuff that I had purchased. It’s all great,
but in a week or two, I will get a Bosch mud mixer drill that I ordered today.
I am a little extra excited because I consider Bosch to be slightly better than the gear I currently have from the other far more well known professional brands. I consider the other slightly better pro brand to be Metabo.
Of course I think Festool is probably the best but I would only consider it as a tool I would use professionally from home like a couple of my contractor friends who make highly precise finish pieces for jobs and other contractors.
Thanks for your history.
Agreed that Bosch tools are very high quality. I have been very happy w/ those that I own.
My Festool RO150FEQ ROTEX sander has been both a workhorse and a very fine tool. This was purchased over a decade ago for vacuum sanding the bottom of my boat. There are more hours than I can count of operation in that very abusive environment. I have also used this for finish sanding on other project w/ excellent results.
My experience is also very positive w/ my DeWALT and my Milwaukee power tools, many with dedicated topics on this forum.
Agree 100%. Huge fan of Bosch, Hilti and Festool.
Thanks for the info! Bosch are really great
