Re: All about Bosch Tools

that is a nice little drill/driver. it should have the same battery as what I got... but for now, I am saving up for a 2012nb thicknesser. no unnecessary expense for me at the moment...

Re: All about Bosch Tools

I once saw the price of this combo go down to as low as $153 (new not refurbished) . Maybe it will go down again considering that a new model is out.

Currently at $216.99 again.

Maybe they should match the Makita price at $153.20

Re: All about Bosch Tools

hehehe, was just thinking, di ba you have about 4 drill/drivers in your possession na? tool collector na yata talaga ang dapat na classification mo Jay. hahahaha

Re: All about Bosch Tools

Yes I love to collect tools. Good tools as far as my limited budget will allow.

The drill drivers you saw are 10 years old already and are on their second sets of battery. None the less these were only slightly used so would fetch a reasonable price if sold. Mostly Black and Deckers of old school. The Makitas are still worth keeping specially because these are still Jap made.

I had a chance to try the new Bosch drivers when I sent a drill for repair and the new features are awesome specially the impact drivers.

Given the chance and with the right price I would want to have the newer models. Probably send the existing ones for Autospeed duty ( although will not be too useful considering that air power is more preferred there) if I can't fetch good selling prices.

I was so disappointed I missed the Dewalt clearance sale at Home Depot that you posted. Six piece combo set priced at slightly less than $600 sold for $299. All were gone the next day and started popping out at craiglist a week later.

But I think you are right. I better stop buying small bits and pieces and save for the Miller Mig Welder on my wish list.
