BOSCH - THE JOY OF CUTTING
Who haven't heard of Bosch, the leader in power tools. The concept of Bosch System Specialist (BSS) has been an enormous success as it provides the customer, sales and service under a single roof. It acts as a one-stop shop for construction solutions with its comprehensive range of power tools, accessories, fixing systems and expert counsel. Consumers will be privy to a riveting experience as the store provides them with valuable demonstrations and a hands-on experience of tools, allowing them to make informed buying decisions.
There’s constant upgrading and innovation happening in the power tools industry. What are some of the latest from Bosch India? Check this.
• The lithium-powered cordless tool range and the laser technology powered measuring tools are examples of Bosch's innovative prowess. The laser technology powered tools are automated, highly accurate and display results much more rapidly than the manual measuring tools. The array of top-quality, durable rotary hammers range from two kilograms to 11 kilograms and are capable of penetrating the toughest materials. The cold-cut saws easily slice through metal surfaces without sparks providing a cold cut post which the metal can be used immediately.
• The laser distance measuring devices are small machines which accurately measure the distance between two points using laser technology. These also measure area and volume of space as well as heights up to 250m.
• The GLM 100, syncs via Bluetooth to a cell phone and is an application which may be used to measure dimensions of sites, take photographs and provide an immediate blueprint which can be shared on multiple platforms.
• Rotation levelers, line levelers and point levelers are devices to measure levels on different walls for fixing. When the machine is switched on, a visible laser grid appears so the alignment for fixing, painting, tiling or making partitions is made simple.
• Measuring inclinations, remote controlled products exclusive to Bosch measure surface inclination and are used to fix pipes or staircase railings. The advantage of these is that they are quicker and more accurate to record the angles of inclination when compared to spirit levels which indicate the direction of inclination via a bubble.
• Detectors use ultra-sound technology to detect the presence of any magnetic and non-magnetic metals, power cables, wooden substructures or even plastic pipes prior to any drilling. Additionally, these can be used to gauge the depth and composition of such structures within the walls.
For most of you it is cost versus quality. Awareness to people about the importance of quality and safety has become the buzzword. Bosch PT offers safety and technology features like vibration control, Kickback Stop, Lithium ion Technology & Turbo Power which features are only available in Bosch PT, making the tools more powerful & safer to use. Most operators lack awareness about the proper use of power tools and the various operations they can perform.
All Bosch products come with a detailed instruction manual directing users on safe and proper use so health and safety are not compromised and subsequent disasters are averted. In addition, Bosch has a training centre in Bangalore where all artisans and customers from construction companies get a hands-on training on how to use their power tools.
The strength of Bosch Power Tools lies in its R&D. Every year Bosch Power Tools launches more than 100 new tools in the professional segment. The surge in popularity and demand for cordless tools in particular has encouraged Bosch to drive the growth of the segment within the power tools business. Bosch has already launched the first entry level product from the cordless tool range - a professional driver/drill - GSR 1080 2 LI Professional across India. The tool is slated to be the answer to common challenges of battery life and cost, while embodying a compact design, enabling high performance and ensuring high level of user safety. It has been conceptualized to simplify the process of drilling and can be deployed anywhere, anytime, without having to worry about electric supply and limited reach among other things.
