The system on the Bosch REAXX Table Saw can detect when human flesh comes into contact with the saw blade, and in response will drop the blade under the tabletop to reduce injury. No blades were harmed during the… Bosch will obviously be competing with SawStop—the first to manufacture a table saw that uses flesh-detecting technology—but I think... ]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2015 21:30:20 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-introduces-their-lightweight-sgh182-brushless-18v-drywall-screwgun-201503091817/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-introduces-their-lightweight-sgh182-brushless-18v-drywall-screwgun-201503091817/ Is this the year of cordless brushless drywall screwdrivers or what? Not long after the other brands announce their models, Bosch hits us with their very own. So what sets the Bosch SGH182 Screwgun apart from the rest? At 3.5lbs with a 4.0Ah battery, it is the lightest of the bunch, but it might also be the most powerful. I can't really say for sure which is the most powerful without doing a side by side review, but Bosch says the SGH182 can drive up to 3400 screws on a single 4.0Ah battery charge; a number significantly... ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2015 07:21:47 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-ddb181-is-their-new-powerful-ultra-compact-drill-driver-201410221709/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-ddb181-is-their-new-powerful-ultra-compact-drill-driver-201410221709/ I have said in the past that you don’t always need to own the most powerful tool; there are more aspects of the tool to consider, like weight or price. So if size or weight are more important, Bosch has the tool for you. They say their DDB181 packs a big punch, yet while 18V, it is the size of a 12V Drill. 12V tools are great when you need to travel light, but if you already have 18V tools it becomes inconvenient to have to carry around two different battery types and... ]]> Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:52:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-tool-power-ready-wireless-charging-is-here-201410061703/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-tool-power-ready-wireless-charging-is-here-201410061703/ It was a few years ago that Bosch gave us a first look at their future plans of getting into wireless inductive charging. The first we saw of it was a video demonstrating the technology at CES 2010, and later they gave another preview at one of their press events. Though it has taken some time, Bosch inductive wireless charging will finally be available later this month. What is wireless charging? Some of you may already be familiar with wireless charging because what Bosch is using is similar to what Palm used to wirelessly charge... ]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2014 22:43:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-psj120-womens-heated-jacket-201409101689/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-psj120-womens-heated-jacket-201409101689/ Bosch has expanded their heated work wear line to include a new version of their PSJ120 heated jacket, this time for women. The new Bosch women’s heated jacket has all the great features that can be found in the men’s jacket, but it has a tailored-fit that is contoured to better match a woman’s shape. The women’s PSJ120 heated jacket still features a total of three heating zones that warm up the left and right chest area, as well as the back. The jacket is sold as a kit that includes a single... ]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2014 07:47:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-glm-15-laser-measure-aims-to-replace-your-tape-measure-201408261680/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-glm-15-laser-measure-aims-to-replace-your-tape-measure-201408261680/ Some people have already turned to laser measurers to be replacements for their tape measurers, but for others the high cost might be preventing them from making the switch. To get you to finally make the switch Bosch has come out with the Bosch GLM 15 Laser Measurer - a simple, accurate, low cost laser measurer. We all know that tape measurers are not accurate over long distances and they are not really easy to use over long distances either, but they are cheap, so that is what many people use. With an MSRP of $49, the... ]]> Tue, 26 Aug 2014 20:27:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/review-bosch-glm-100-c-professional-laser-measurer-with-bluetooth-and-app-201407111661/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/reviews/review-bosch-glm-100-c-professional-laser-measurer-with-bluetooth-and-app-201407111661/ The GLM 100 C Professional is Bosch's best laser measurer yet. It features a large backlit multi-line display, 50 measurement memory history, and can measure in more ways than you will probably ever need. But the reason I asked Bosch to send the GLM 100 C to me to review was because it has one more special feature—Bluetooth. Like past Bosch Laser Measurers, the GLM 100 C offers a variety of measurement features that allow the user to measure distance, area, volume, indirect height, and even angles. What sets the GLM 100 C... ]]> Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:00:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/contests/toolrank/tool-rank-giveaway-enter-to-win-a-bosch-hds182-01l-18v-ec-brushless-drill-driver-kit-201405011628/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/contests/toolrank/tool-rank-giveaway-enter-to-win-a-bosch-hds182-01l-18v-ec-brushless-drill-driver-kit-201405011628/ It's the first of the month again and you know what that means; it's time for another amazingly awesome Tool-Rank Giveaway. Joining us this month is Bosch Tools, and they are graciously providing their new HDS182-01L 18V EC Brushless Compact Tough ½-Inch Drill/Driver as the prize for one lucky winner. Is may look simple on the outside, but inside the HDS182 features Bosch's new brushless motor, advanced electronics for motor and battery protection, and Cool Pack technology. It is called Compact Tough for a reason. Not only does it have the most compact head length in its... ]]> Thu, 01 May 2014 07:47:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/hot-deal-bosch-daredevil-6-piece-set-on-sale-for-10-201404211622/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/hot-deal-bosch-daredevil-6-piece-set-on-sale-for-10-201404211622/ Amazon has one of my favorite drill bit sets on sale for less than $10, the Bosch 6-piece DareDevil spade bit set. Bosch's DareDevil spade bits were one of my first reviews back in 2008, and guess what, I still like them. They were even given the prestigious Tool-Rank Pick award, which has only been given out 10 other times. You can head over to my review to see why I like them, but in short, they drill fast and make clean cuts through wood with little effort needed from the end-user. Because they are self-feeding they... ]]> Mon, 21 Apr 2014 19:22:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-5-0ah-battery-packs-coming-this-may-201404171621/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-5-0ah-battery-packs-coming-this-may-201404171621/ Isn't competition great? Cordless tools are stronger than ever with brands racing and competing to deliver the most powerful tools; and now we are in a heated race to see who can pack the most Ah into a battery. Well, it looks like Bosch is taking the lead with their new BAT621 5.0Ah 18-volt battery arriving this May. The best part of all is that the new battery packs are the same footprint and weight as Bosch’s previous 4.0Ah and 3.0Ah battery packs. They say this is possible thanks to “state-of-the-art high capacity low-resistance lithium-ion cells which... ]]> Thu, 17 Apr 2014 20:57:00 -0500
