Identical but one costs 2X more: Dremel vs Bosch Go 2 electric screwdriver

[@mrpopenfresh]

Impossible to say if they are exactly the same without looking at the internals.

[@tyrbaldur5317]

Sounds like a job for AvE

[@zendell37]

Their 12/10.8 volt batteries are also interchangeable. We use the Bosch adjustable head drivers at work and the Dremel batteries work in them just fine.

[@jimmymifsud1]

That’s new, the chargers use to be compatible with each other but the batteries has different tabs

[@lazor222]

The Dremel 20v batteries are also the same as Bosch 18v batteries ("20v" and "18v" are the same true voltage if anyone isn't aware). Bosch and Dremel should market this fact better because a lot of people seemingly don't know, especially with Bosch's newer Ampshare program you'd think they would be promoting it.

[@gteconpact]

That bosch model sells around 30-40$ here in Philippines

[@benjaminabel8596]

That's outrageous!

[@MasakyoRenSai]

52USD on Indian Amazon!

[@ecospider5]

I just grabbed the Ryobi with their new USB battery. I really like having the replaceable battery.

[@specialsause949]

I just checked and Amazon has the Dremel version for $29 at this time. I'm going to pick one up.

[@yuneeccopter8645]

Bought the Dremel today!. Thanks for the heads-up with the video.

[@I1S1337]

I have this dremel screwdriver and it’s awesome. Has a ton of torque to drive pretty much any screw you need it to that it should be used for. I use mine on airbox screws when I change a filter. Saves my wrist !

[@mjac8373]

My brother works at Bosch for forty years, the 'guts' of the machine may have plastic instead of metal parts to reduce cost. He assures me they do that, like putting cheaper chucks on some drills instead of self centering chucks like most have. Just info for your readers. I'd buy the Dremel if I was gonna get one of htese...

[@todd.parker]

Interesting so the Dremel might be better made but less expensive (in the US)?

[@datAero]

no, it's not as well made, but the bosch is probably not worth the upgrade@@todd.parker

[@timtim4726]

What about this exact model. Can you say they're identical inside or not?

[@mjac8373]

@@timtim4726 No, I can't but I jest passed on what he told me. Since he would know. They have to give some reason for customer to upgrade to more expensive units to get all the bells n' whistles.

[@DaAnimalControl]

I used to work for Bosch, so I can confirm that they do indeed own and manufacture Dremel tools.

[@todd.parker]

YES, thank you

[@pedrobetancourt400]

Thank you for this info I personally purchased two of those DREMEL TOOLS thanks for the information for other people that doesn’t know that

[@MaverickAus]

Yeah ... in Australia the Dremel is (not quite) double the price of the Bosch. $151 to $94

[@KirkJean-v1m]

Bosch bought dremel in 1993. Dremel and bosch 18v batteries are interchangeable.

[@mr.blanco6763]

Dude one thing I learned in my short time in life is always ALWAYS spend the extra money even when it’s “just the name” when buying tools or crap like that. It’s always worth it. You always get superior accessories and customer support. Literally no point in saving $20

[@todd.parker]

I agree but I think this is more of a “where do they market this under a certain brand” question, no difference in quality or support, just accessories

[@bonsaidownunder3140]

The dreamer is twice the price of the Bosch here in Australia

[@todd.parker]

Yeah, it’s definitely country specific so just buy what’s cheapest where you live

[@ephiz23]

I don t know. I ve had a similar experience with a Hitachi tool. I needed to buy a bunch of them for a project, and i stumbled across an identical tool, Just a different brand. They were exactely the same, down to the smallest details. So i bought One of each. And i opened them. Not the same anymore. The difference Is in the gearbox. The cheap One had a plastic set of weels. The other had an all metal set. Is It this the case, here? Again, i don t know. Bosch bought dremel. So they May very well be the same product, pushed by two differently thinkink marketing depts... I m kind of curious now

[@todd.parker]

Yeah, seems they just sell the different brands in different countries but you never know what’s inside. They performed the same tho. Maybe be you got a knockoff brand?

[@sloanNYC]

There are a ton of options these days with same kind of build. Definitely look for the RPM and Torque specs. 200rpm feels REALLY slow compared to even 280rpm.

[@profosist]

The reason why is the Bosch is imported. It was also available years before the Dremel. I had one before even the original Dremel was available in the US.

[@todd.parker]

Yeah, it really comes down to what you can get locally because that will be less expensive

[@profosist]

I think it's a rather unique tool. I thought I would really love it but it just doenbst get used much. Something like the 8v gyro Dewalt get way more use from me. For day to day use I've fallen for the Snap-On screwdrivers with the toggle triggers CT661/CT725 sadly they're no longer made and finding a quality used one can be tough.

[@anthonycraig274]

I am thinking I am leaning towards the VESSEL Ball Grip Rechargable Screwdriver. If I can find the dermal for $25, I will settle.

[@anthonycraig274]

I have already purchased the Vessel 220 Plus and it’s fantastic. It’s is now my goto driver, instead of reaching for my festool drill/driver as my electrical screwdriver, I have this in my pocket without thinking about it.

[@tcass]

Any difference in warranty? I have a feeling the Bosch's is longer/more comprehensive, which is part of the cost.

[@speedmaster001]

Workz is smaller footprint and uses USB C charger.

[@PLBW81]

what is the exactly name of the dremel? model nr. ?

[@natewesley8507]

Damn straight I’m gonna stick with the dremal half the price at least

[@Jasonoid]

Nice find!

[@OctogonOxygen024816]

On god, dude just saved me from paying a 100% premium for no fucking reason other than failure to identity the deal.

[@DooDooPistols]

I picked the dremel one up about 2 years ago. I’ve really wanted to like it but it just isn’t going to be a “go to” tool for me. I’m a service electrician and the DeWalt gyro is in my bags every day!

[@todd.parker]

I get that. I looked the DeWalt but couldn't decide if I'd like the Gyro. I picked up a Milwaukee 12v Surge and it's not my go-to even if it's bigger

[@DooDooPistols]

@@todd.parker I dig the gyro a lot; it really wasn’t that big of an adjustment for me.

[@WilliamTaylor-h4r]

it looks like a surpass hobby 2440 brushless 5000kv could go right in there at VOID volts.

[@user-zl1pj5ii1f]

SKIl at Lowe’s has a better one for $25. Has everything you need, even an amp reader

[@todd.parker]

Cool. Do you have a link?

[@user-zl1pj5ii1f]

Sorry I bought mine for 25 plus tax. Now the site is saying $29.98. It’s still a better purchase. 🔥

[@NathanExplosion25]

I bought the Bosch version yesterday for £65, and then saw this video. Just went looking for the dremel and it seems it's no longer available.

[@todd.parker]

Oh yeah? Seems very regional

[@prestonpc]

micro usb? how inconvenient

[@todd.parker]

Yeah that’s bad

[@Arc-501]

Now take it a part and see how different they actually are.

[@mustaphayusof2710]

Now bosch cost 25 dollar atleast in my country because they make it here

[@SnelfNL]

To bad the Dremel doesn't seem to be available in Europe.

[@todd.parker]

Maybe the Bosch and a cheaper in Europe than it is in the US?

[@SnelfNL]

@@todd.parker saw them for 79 euros, so a bit cheaper ya. Ironically, it came up as a result when I googled for the Dremel.

[@NoisyBadAss]

​@@todd.parker today around 50$ in Hungary.

[@_MrBread]

Is it worth upgrading from gen 1’s?

[@todd.parker]

I haven't used the gel 1, sorry

[@BlackSkullArmor]

Unfortunately can't find Dremel here, only Bosch

[@todd.parker]

That's fine, the main point was to find the one that's cheaper since they are the same. In Europe and Asia, I think Bosch is cheaper and more available. In the US, it's Dremel.

[@bronxshi9516]

The dremel one is trash. Mine stopped working after like the 5th time, and they don’t sound the same

[@rockstarindian6073]

In India Bosch go 3500 rupees Dreamel 9000 rupees Too overrated 😅 Bosch and dreamel manufacturing in same factory 🏭 (dreamel is sub brand of Bosch).

[@jorgewolfink8571]

Are they the same? Which one is better? Thanks

[@todd.parker]

They are identical so whichever is cheapest in your country is best

[@musiclibraryforcreators8094]

In Vietnam, bosch go 2 only 35 usd

These two tools are made in the same plant at my city (Mexicali, MEX). Same people, same production line so basically same quality.

[@todd.parker]

Awesome info, thanks for confirming. So is there any difference in build quality or just branding and accessories?

@@todd.parker Same build in quality, even components suppliers are the same. the only differences are branding and accessories.
