Just hitting store shelves this week are the new Bosch ROS65VC-5 & ROS65VC-6 (Both 9, Ohio Power Tool) sanders. These models are identical in all aspects except one comes out of the box with a 5” pad while the other a 6” pad. Either can interchange to use any standard 5” or 6” size [...]
Don’t you hate when you have a nice tool, but it did not come with a case? or maybe it came in a cheap bag? Well now thanks to Bosch you have a multitude of options thanks to the new L-Boxx system. We have seen Interlocking systems before with the Systainer. The L-Boxx is a [...]

They can accurately measure height of an object 40’ away hanging on the wall 15’ in the air, across the room, which we actually did and wow is that handy. [...]

Now with the launch of their new faster cutting framing saw blade (post coming soon) and renaming of their equally aggressive auger [...]
Several years back we had mentioned the Bosch D-tect100 which was out in Europe at the time and how it would be in the US very soon… Well perhaps it was not so soon but finally the US version Bosch D-tect150 (9, Ohio Power Tool) is on the shelves approved by the FAA! Yes apparently [...]
I like tools that make my life easier, and as a finish carpenter you wouldn’t think a portable band saw would be one of these tools, but on rare occasion they really are. You might be surprised by the amount of metal I have to work with on any give job. For instance I might [...]
