I believe it was canceled last year and has been pushed to October this year. I would guess that you will see a whole bunch of things coming out at WOC this year.

Kurt WOC was last month in Vegas and Bosch was there. Follow the link to their video made at the event that details the new tools coming…

I hope they have some more tools in the works as well. Ryobi just released over 125 new tools hopefully Bosch can do something like that soon.

Seriously doubt that. Bosch has shown a very limited array of NA intro’d tools compared to other more aggressive brands. Doubt that’s about to cha…

Bosch really needs to bring back their line of cordless nail guns to stay up with the market.

I noticed that for a few days, my login and password would not populate. I guess this is why it would not. I was using Safari.

Milwaukee is also spending a lot of time and effort into getting it’s tool storage system working.

You are right there. I get almost weekly emails from Milwaukee about new Packout items being added. Sadly after touting the L-Boxx system for years it appears that Bosch has abandoned the idea in the name of c…

Anyone using down cut blades? Always thought that would be more logical to seeing a clear line cutting or preventing chipping. I have never found them when I remembered to look for them.

Our codes require an outlet to be installed right at the AC unit for that reason.
