Initially we thought the promotion only applied to Makita and Milwaukee Tools, but it turns out there are DeWalt, Ridgid, Ryobi and Bosch deals as well. Prices for these combo kit deals range from as low as $70 all the way up to $2,500, but the majority of combo kits are priced right around $300. You might be thinking that HomeDepot is trying to clear out some older stock, but even the latest... ]]> Thu, 07 Nov 2013 09:55:39 -0600 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-advertisement-teases-their-new-impact-201311051543/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-advertisement-teases-their-new-impact-201311051543/ Bosch sent out an email yesterday with a subject line reading "Next big thing is coming!" If you open up the email there is a video (below) that shows the reactions of various contractors after they got their hands on it. In the video we can hear what sounds like an impact driver, but it is what one guy says that suggests it could be something more; "I'd say it's the next best thing... since the impact". He goes on to say "this makes it right here, the impact part of it..." So what is it, part... ]]> Tue, 05 Nov 2013 09:32:17 -0600 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/new-bosch-glm-100-c-laser-measure-talks-to-your-smartphone-201310301540/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/new-bosch-glm-100-c-laser-measure-talks-to-your-smartphone-201310301540/ Bosch is taking laser measuring to the next level with the introduction of their GLM 100 C Laser Distance Measure, available next month. Not only is it packed with measuring and storage features, but it can sync with iOS and Anrdoid devices to extend its functionality. As a just laser measurer the GLM 100 C is already amazing. It has all the features we have come to expect from a good laser measurer, like the ability to measure distance, area, and volume. But what makes it a great laser measurer is its ability to also measure... ]]> Wed, 30 Oct 2013 20:37:51 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-comes-out-with-10-inch-axial-glide-dual-bevel-miter-saw-201310211534/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/manufacturer-news/bosch-comes-out-with-10-inch-axial-glide-dual-bevel-miter-saw-201310211534/ Three years ago Bosch came out with a new axial-glide sliding system for their 12-inch miter saw, a system that uses articulating arms rather than rails to slide the saw blade back and forth. The Axial-Glide saw was the talk of the town, but people also wanted a 10-inch version. Now, just in time for Christmas, the CM10GD 10-inch Axial-Glide has arrived. If you asked Bosch about a 10-inch model three years ago, they would have told you that a 10-inch version would weigh about the same as the 12-inch, so there wasn't much of an advantage.... ]]> Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:43:01 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-12v-heated-jackets-12v-4-0-batteries-201308121494/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/bosch-12v-heated-jackets-12v-4-0-batteries-201308121494/ Just in time for the cold that comes along will fall, Bosch has announced that they too will be coming out with a 12V Max Heated Jacket (Model PSJ120). Additionally, this means that they are also offering a 12V USB portable power source that powers the jacket and other USB powered devices. Bosch is not the first to offer a heated jacket, but theirs might be the most stylish of the three; but its style also serves a purpose. The white accents that you see contrasting the color of the jacket also act as light reflectors, so... ]]> Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:09:15 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/contests/toolrank/tool-rank-giveaway-win-a-bosch-pb180-18-volt-cordless-radio-kit-201308051490/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/contests/toolrank/tool-rank-giveaway-win-a-bosch-pb180-18-volt-cordless-radio-kit-201308051490/ It wouldn't be a very fun summer if it didn't have music, and that is what we are giving away this month. Well actually, we have teamed up with Bosch to give away one of their music making machines; the new PB180 18-volt Cordless/Corded Radio. The PB180 is one of Bosch's latest radios that is designed to be compact enough to fit inside a Click and Go L-BOXX, but still deliver the features that everyone wants. On-board it is packing two 5-watt speakers, a digital display, digital signal processing and more. The radio can be... ]]> Mon, 05 Aug 2013 07:34:59 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-comes-out-with-new-pb180-18-volt-radio-201307181476/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-comes-out-with-new-pb180-18-volt-radio-201307181476/ Not wanting to let their 12V users be alone in the joy of having music on the jobsite, Bosch has come out with a similarly designed 18V portable jobsite radio. Unlike their previous 18V radio, Bosch slimmed down the size of the new PB180 so that it can fit inside an L-BOXX-2 tool case. Thanks to neodymium technology, Bosch was able to pack to 5-watt speakers into the small housing of the PB180 Radio. At only 2.8-pounds, you don't have to worry about the added weight the PB180 will add to your tool arsenal.

We have been anticipating the 18V Multi-X for a while now, and finally Bosch has given us a release date and a price to go with it. One thing I didn't spot when I first saw the new MXH180 Multi-X is that it features Bosch's new brushless motor technology. One of the issues with past 12v... ]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:00:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-introduces-carbide-tipped-oscillating-multi-tool-blades-201306041455/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-introduces-carbide-tipped-oscillating-multi-tool-blades-201306041455/ The really bad thing about oscillating tool blades is that they can't really cut into any hard metal and last for more than a few seconds. We have all been spoiled with the amazing powers of carbide and anything less seems like we are using a butter knife. So Bosch is giving us what we need in their OSC114C, a carbide tooth oscillating multi-tool blade. The OSC114C is a true carbide tooth blade that features carbide teeth that have been welded to the high-carbon steel body of the blade using Bosch's proprietary process.

Usually you can find deals for only one brand at a time, but this time there are cash off deals from Bosch, DeWalt, Dremel, and more. You can head over to Amazon right now if you are in a hurry to save, or you can see some of the deals broken down below. $25 off $100 on select Bosch purchase.
