They are moving away from hiring full time employees, and turning more to hiring on contract,

Very nice, like the colors.

Looking good, I see that the roofers got the roof shingled on the one you just finished right next door.

How about a cordless model?

Check out this new powertool from Bosch, the BoschGO Smart screwdriver.

I want one!

Same here Bill. Looks like a nice little driver. I like the charging option for it.

Actually thinking of ordering the leather one next,

So have I. Just a little pricey. But it does look like an excellent solid work belt. I like that it has the double pronged clasp.

Yes for sure, just need to find out the sizing.

Nice, thanks for the picture, always nice to see Bosch, especially when it’s from other parts of the globe.
I would like to see those green tools on hand, just to see and compare
