I was talking to the Bosch rep today and I mentioned I was thinking about buying Colt compact router. He told me to wait they are coming out with the new model.He said they had made it lighter, but did not really go into all the changes. He also said we should see the 6 Ah battery coming but did not say when. I wish he could have supplied more info but I thought I would pass it on.

May 2015 sees European release of Bosch brushless impact wrench. Gds 18 v EC.

250 newton torque when setting bolts. 275 newton releasing them 🙂

Good to know… I was looking at maybe picking up one of the Colt models sometime this year…

Madman, you are sporting the Bosch logo. You have to represent.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Jan 29, 2015 4:12 PM CT

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Jan 29, 2015 7:40 PM CT

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Jan 29, 2015 9:12 PM CT

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013Jan 29, 2015 9:29 PM CT

Man 6.0ah?! I haven’t even jumped on the 5 wagon yet…

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Jan 29, 2015 9:33 PM CT

my biggest is the 4.0 from bosch – i dont wanna buy the 5.0 because i know the 6.0 is on its way so ill wait 😛

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Jan 29, 2015 10:26 PM CT

I’m in the same boat Madman. With the UTB, I received a 4.0 with a regular charger. I want to grab another but I’m going to wait a bit and go with the 5.0. I’m thinking we won’t see the 6.0 for quite a while.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Jan 30, 2015 1:39 AM CT

i can wait 😀

my 3 batteries gonna be enough for the next few month.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Jan 30, 2015 10:24 PM CT

Maybe if you see him again you can feel out for an idea about the Bosch track saw coming here?

If I see him I will ask. Are you sure you have room for more tools and batteries with all the stuff you won in the UTB.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Jan 31, 2015 8:09 PM CT

chris is fully equipped now 😛

Conductor562Member since Nov 2011Feb 1, 2015 4:15 AM CT

Great, after I just recently bought a compact Makita 🙁

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Feb 1, 2015 4:32 AM CT

Geez…..that’s like asking Trump if more money is bad. 😉

Fear not Conductor, that is a heck of router you’ve got!

paddyjonesMember since Feb 2015Feb 8, 2015 7:19 AM CT

6,0AH released a month ago here in Scandinavia. Same price as as 5,0 AH for a single one. About 130$ that is. Still waiting for the New rapid charger though, but it’s said to bere in a few weeks:) The price for the charger only is 70$.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Feb 8, 2015 8:01 AM CT

Welcome to the forum paddyjones! Thanks for the update. Hopefully they will find their way to the U.S. soon too!

That is great news. I want to add a Colt sized router. I really like the look of the DeWalt but I like the Bosch routers. Hopefully they will add some dust collection and led lights.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Feb 23, 2015 10:46 AM CT

The colt is on sale like any other bosch routers at HD.com
