I want to choose Bosch as my main battery platform. Anyone have experience using them?
I can tell my current battery tools are not professional grade and they're getting really on my nerves and they seem to be struggling with the amount of work I sometimes put them through. It's CAT, BTW and doesn't matter why I chose them now.
I'll be going into better quality power tools and obviously I want to stick to a single platform to keep it simple for myself. I noticed Bosch is very overlooked nowadays. I can't think I ever seen any woodworking YouTuber working with Bosch power tools.
Yet, I want to avoid DeWalt to avoid the headache of meticulously checking every single buy, because they have multiple models of single tools and I know that some of them are not so highly recommended. I know because I bought their multi tool without speed control and it's half useless for me then.
I have mixed experience with Makita tools. I find Milwaukee to be very expensive and a company with less focus on woodworking tools. Festool is still out of my budget and also does not interest me because of battery powered tools. I have a few Bosch corded tools and Bosch tablesaw and I'm basically very happy with all of them. They're from the blue line. I'm in Europe and Bosch was basically OG power tool company here, good ol' reliable. But how are they really?
I'm obviously not trying to go all-battery, but in my woodworking I often find multi tool, small router, planer, sawzall and angle grinder very useful to be used away from any sockets. Anyone have reliable experience with Bosch battery tools? #diy source
