Wow, an over-the-top radar stud finder. The D-TECT200C Professional is very cool. Thanks.

Bosch is non stop making new tools in both 18V and 12V platforms, I can’t believe how fast they are!
They do make a lot of other new tools which I am not interested in, just posting the ones I like.
Sweet, thanks. I remember DeWalt came out with this but it was bad. Hopefully this one works great.
This new Bosch radar wall scanner is very cool, but for ~$1,200 my needs remain to locate wall studs for anchoring or for avoiding and this is waaay over the top.
My two go-to tools still suffice for my needs. My Bosch GMS120 Wall Scanner or my old-school Zircon Stud Sensor still meet my needs.

I think the one you made the video about it was DCT418 which had some issues. Then they made another one (DCT419) and I got that and it works OK, but it is a bit basic. I think they were both made in USA. Let’s see how this Bosch one will be, Makita also made one in 18V platform.

Wow, 1200 USD is a bit expensive, but if it does the job why not!
I don’t know why but Hilti and Bosch are my favorites. They tend to be more but I feel like you get a better tool.

I always liked Hilti, they looked very heavy duty to me, but since they introduced the new cordless platform with that wireless thingy I started to not like it.
