I love the 12v range and often reach for a 12v drill over an 18v because of its size, weight and power. I would love to see another 12v radio or a Bluetooth speaker though. I think a small 12v one would be really useful if it could fit in a tool bag or backpack.

[@A13tech]

I am into 12V tools own a lot of them. I find them very useful for everyday home use. However, I would absolutely love to see a ratchet for car mechanics (I dont want to switch to another battery system).

[@stevenkim5139]

Yes please

[@Nicky14P]

Would like to see a more powerful impact similar to the M12 Milwaukee Stubby

[@elbuggo]

I'll second that!

[@thewildwestpimp]

I agree an extended reach ratchet in particular would be amazing, and I’d jump on it very quickly I feel like there’s enough of a demand for it

[@sevenohm3375]

You don’t ever wish you had 18 volts?

[@dellusionportland8867]

A 12V pruning Shear tool is needed Bosch. Make the GKS 12V-26 a brushless Circular Saw, same for GSA 12V-14 Mini Recip saw, needs to upgrade to brushless as its its 18V sibling GSA 18V-LIC, along with the GRO 12V-35 Rotary tool too. Iw ould also upgrade the GUS 12V-300 carpet cutter, GSC 12V-13 Metal Shear, GAS 12V Vacuum to brushless too.

[@dazlaa1641]

No quick release on the multitool was a dick move

[@cebuanostud]

I'm a sucker when it comes to small modular power tool.😆

[@brianrogers6731]

A 12 Volt Die Grinder would be nice and very handy Broaden the Flexi Click attachments More 12 volt lighting options 12 Volt Ratchet Wrench both 1/4 n 3/8

[@CarswithRadYT]

You guys have to bring all of the Bosch Professional tools to the USA.

[@jessicalawson1417]

Same, I love my 12v drill/driver from Bosch. hands down the most versatile drill I have ever used.

[@kdzyl2]

One question - when will Bosch be recognising the 12v range through their pro-deals offers? I’ve bought both 12v & 18v tools as each range has items that outperform the other in a niche, yet Bosch’s reward program suggests the 18v are the true pro tools and the 12v are treated as orphans (neither is cheap though)

[@dellusionportland8867]

A 12V Band File, that is basically mini version a belt sander & does similar to a die grinder, like some of our competitors very much needed for tight spots to sand or grind in tight spots with ease? Also like what competitors have, a brushless 12V compact Bandsaw is needed as well

[@magnus8570]

yess

[@matttttification]

Glad to see the video. I wish Bosch 12v was more available in America. Lowes is clearing them out.

[@stevenkim5139]

When will bosch make pro press tools.

[@stephenleepmg113]

Thank you very much for the stream . As a Bosch user in the USA, there are a number of 12 volt tools that are not available in the US market . Sure as the metal working tools, the circular saw, and the rotary tool. Please bring more 12 volt tools to the American market . Also, a 12 volt stapler and free standing tower light in 12 volt or 18 volt is neefef as soon as possible. Thanks again, guys.

[@bollemuslol]

12v tools are shit just use 18v

[@SaintFredrocks]

@@bollemuslol go back under your rock.

[@stephenleepmg113]

[@karakavlos69paul]

It will be nice to see 1000v insulated screwdriver sets and pliers from a leading company like BOSCH.

[@BoschProfessionalUK]

All we can say is.... Might be sooner than you think.... Stay tuned 😉

[@g8beast679]

Did not know Bosch had so many 12v tools. What brought me to this video was the 12v planer. But i am impressed. Too bad these tools are way too expensive in the US.

[@GunnarsMassageoPizza]

Too expensive? I´ve seen a lot of videos where people buy them cheaper than in Europe..?

[@user-qk7id7ev9u]

Really expensive in the UK. The planer comes in at £180. That's $230, currently. That's bare, no battery, no charger.

[@alastairbrown9698]

Bosch fans will be disappointed this autumn ….. a 18vconcrete nailer…. oh another 18v SDS, a couple of new 18v mitre saws and 12v inspection cameras… no sign of the elusive 18v router

[@dazsaz]

Thank you very informative 😊

[@patrickomalley7460]

Great video and I’m a big fan of my 12v Bosch tools. Watching from Boston USA

[@ivordupuis9296]

Brilliant presentation

[@markjarman7819]

I’m a festool nut but do own the little router and planer and find them superb. Great tools bosch👍

[@thechrissyb]

I've had bosch 10.8/12v since release I think 2005. It is a screwdriver. I've still got it, and the batteries too. Sadly my newest 6amp £70 batteries have both broken just outside there guarantee. So annoying. I've got a drill driver, impact driver, jigsaw, circular saw, vacuum, multisaw, radio, light, 3 way laser and angle driver. I've been a bosch fan for year, but have been put off by my latest battery experience 😢

[@thechrissyb]

Fyi the jigsaw switch isn't very lefthand friendly

[@adamhindle9215]

Good video. Plenty of detail and data. Big fan of my 12V screwdriver, drill driver and rotary tool.

[@dellusionportland8867]

Great stream @Bosch Professional Power Tools UK. ARe there plans to bring out a 12V brushless Torque Wrench like competitors? Also would you consider making an update to your Inclinometer Spirit Level where it could have a feature that could automatically determine the centre point point of a room, use the same sensors in your laser distance measure tape,powered by a 12V battery?

[@V3T9]

I would love to see a 3/8 square to 1/4 hex adapter like you guys have for 1/2.

[@anders.svensson]

Hi! Interesting! I really like the 12v system, but i it is really totaly comfusing with all these types with similar name. Do you have a list with all the modells and its differences? I like the click system, which is strongest?

[@dellusionportland8867]

@Bosch Professional Power tools UK, i think could give an examples of what the person in comment section during the livestream, is looking for, when he asked about a dedicated 12V SDS drill, instead of an SDS attachment for the flexiclick system. Since you say that the SDS attachment puts out 0.9 Joules of energy, then i would suggest of making a dedicated 12V SDS drill that replaces the old 18volt model, the GBH 18V-LI, that only puts out 0.7 Joules of energy. In that way, you replacing the same amount of energy of the GBH 18V-LI old model, plus 0.2 more Joules of power. And so, in that, you are getting a more powerful replacement in a 12V tool, for about the same or a more compact size drill than the old 18volt model. I think it sounds doable. What do you think?

[@clive4500]

it would be very useful to have a charger for the 12 V battery system using USB C also this could be a power bank as well using power delivery up to 20 V with perhaps 30 W output charging could be 30 W as well...... if a 18 V version of a USB C battery charger was made available with power delivery this would be to be at least 60 W charge and perhaps power delivery of 100 watts 20 V. These products are actually made by a Chinese manufacturer for the 18 V battery.. The idea being a compact charger allows for a easily transported toolkit.. The current range of mains chargers are very bulky... Further advantages would be that some of your larger 18 V batteries namely the 8 amp hour and 12 amp hour would make very useful power banks even if they weren't used with your tools.. Obviously the power bank would need to be able to charge the battery at a reasonable rate as discussed above.. This would open up markets beyond power tools for your batteries which are very compact and of very high quality.. And would fulfil a utility far beyond construction..

[@ijjyahmed2001]

Are they releasing anything new or is this just another one of those stream where they explain everything to us again.

[@sampirat]

really looking forward for a 23ga pin nailler like milwakee M12. Any plan on that ? i want to ditch my compressor.

[@fatabeestje]

Hi, great video. I think I have all the 12v Bosch professional machine's there are. Same as the 220v with a cable an now also a lot of 18v machine's. I'm a little addicted to Bosch professional I think. Also have a lot of "normal Bosch professional tools like screwdrivers, an al the other things they have. 😂 Almost al the tools that you see on the background...an more 🤭

[@matthewspry4217]

Why does the drill driver/combi only have a 10mm chuck when the rest of the competition have 13mm, this is a definite disadvantage. Bosch 12v fan BTW

[@robertjohnconcepcion]

I was saving my money for a gsb12-30 but you mention there's 12-35 I think I just wait for that one here in the Philippines.

[@dennis-qu7bs]

New Zealand needs the Flexi Click too

[@jcvjcvjcvjcv]

Why did Bosch get the 18V caulk gun from Cox but not the 12V?

[@aliancemd]

I would buy these if the batteries had a USB-C port in them to charge them. Don’t really have space in my home for those huge chargers. We already have lots of USB-C chargers, would be easier to choose

[@neketech]

34:04 el GTB 12V-11 es la única herramienta que no a llegado a C hile y la espero con ansias

[@sncat]

Best tool screwdriver gsr 10.8 . Use witch 2011 year

[@13orrax]

i want that sub machine gun attachment

[@mrbigberd]

You need to add a new 12v impact driver with a bit more horsepower. Raw power isn’t everything, but other companies deliver 30-40% more power while not sacrificing weight. After 5 years, it’s time.

[@gavinbonser3602]

I several of these and use them on site, they are typically fantastic for what the battery is able to give it. I have the camera and to be honest I am disappointed with the resolution, if it had less pixels it would be a radio. My cheap (eBay purchase) camera I connect to my phone is much much better.

[@Dretje]

To bad Bosch has to follow the marketing, I always liked it better that Bosch gave the ‘real’ battery power (10,8V) and not the maximum

[@felipearechiga8528]

Love your tools but those 12v impact drivers need to be updated. Walmart 12v impact drivers are outperforming bosch 12v .

[@RyanHipp]

Bosch - why is the blue of your marketing materials and the blue of the product in all your photos look like a vibrant blue, but your actual product is a murkier green-blue? Why not try to either match the actual product color; or, why not make your products the blue you try to make your photos look?

[@tensazero]

Gave up on Bosch 12v line years ago. Still have the brushed drill, but the clutch does some weird slideover setting selection, and the batteries don't keep charge in storage for long. Y'all are too late. Moved on to DX12.

[@dennis-qu7bs]

"beef" you mean "grunt" ?

[@matthewspry4217]

SDS adaptor NOT is not a true SDS its electromagnetic

[@Ritcheyyy]

Ratchet!!!! thats what we need in 12V but only in 1/2 because nobody uses 3/8 in garage. Most users use 1/4 and 1/2. I ignore all 3/8.

[@patbird9694]

Bosch 12 power tools are so overpriced. But it doesn’t deter me from buying them. I have a collection of Makita CXT range that I love to use, but I would like to have a 12v planer and router that Bosch have in there range.So I can just use one battery platform. Can’t stand m12 horrible ergonomics and unreliable tools

[@DIYDEGEN]

For power tool. Bigger is better. That is why Makita making 40v line, Metabo 36v, Flex 24v. I guess UK pro users like to smaller and compact tools like your car. Your tools should have been a brushless in the beginning. Still ALL Made in CHINA

[@olegbudac8461]

made in Malaysia
