Bosch showed off a bunch of new cordless power tools in an overseas video, with the most exciting – in my opinion – being an 18V 6-inch cordless sander.
Bosch has previously launched random orbit and multi-pad finish sanders, and it looks like a 150mm (6-inch) sander with similar design and ergonomics is next.
The new sander looks very compact compared to their existing corded model.
We previously reported that Bosch was launching new 18V cordless outdoor power tools, but I believe this is the first I’ve seen of a new pro-line cordless chainsaw.
There’s also a new 18V hedge trimmer, which Bosch previously showed off.
We already posted about the new Bosch cordless router, but we’ll follow Bosch’s lead and include it as a reminder.
Bosch is also launching what looks to be a cable cutter.
They recently launched new cordless press tools for plumbers and similar users, and the new cable cutter is a sign they’re also moving towards new solutions for electricians and other such tradespeople.
It’s hard to make out the details, but there’s a new smaller jobsite radio/speaker, perhaps a compact PowerBox.
Bosch also showed off two new cordless mixers.
Finally, they featured what looks to be a new cordless laser level.
And, it looks like you can swap out the power modules to be able to use 12V or (compact?) 18V batteries.
All of the announcements were made via Bosch in Europe; there hasn’t been any USA news or announcements yet.
Of the tools shown above, only the cordless router is confirmed to be launching in the USA; retailers have been accepting preorders for several weeks now.
Here’s the video:
