POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE - in collaboration with Bosch Home & Garden

[@donjohnson24]

Your enthusiasm for the topic is evident. I have a Bosch cordless lawnmower and its the best machine I have ever owned. If my hedge trimmer was cordless, I'd miss that 'pop' noise followed by silence as I again cut through the cable, but when it gets so short as to be unusable, hopefully I'll upgrade to match my drills.

[@briant4078]

Its about time companies started to work together on these things. I use a Bosch cordless drill/driver and a mains powered one. The cash you are getting for this promo will help with the shed build, good on you I say.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yeah couldn't agree more, next we just need a universal dust extraction port size on all tools... I'm sure that'll happen! 😂

[@emmetworkshop2829]

#extractionforall

[@ArchangelAzrael1]

See id rather check in on a paid promotion from time to time than halfway through the build some one starts telling me about a games they pretend to like on their phone! At this is actually linked and relevant to the normal content! And if he makes a few quid good for him, money makes the world

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you for understanding !

[@orbepa]

I agree - Keith needs to eat so ads are essential. I'd rather have adverts that are clearly adverts than bending a how-to video to fit in with an advertisment and ultimately defeating the reason we watch Keith

[@JensSchwehn]

I agree but I wished that the ad agency would not try to fit their usuals marketing speech in to the sponsored content. I bet if Keith had the choice between this ad read or 8h straight off sanding (for the same amount of money) we would see much dust in the air.

[@iainnash6580]

Surely not talking about a certain young woodworker from Basingstoke by any chance? (By the way, he also needs money to live, work and eat so just skip through the add and back to the build, you tube is clever like that, it has fast forward and rewind functions)

[@archiebf4524]

@@iainnash6580 this^^^^ I'd much rather skip past 2 minutes of nonsense than a whole a video of it. Plus that certain young wood worker gives away A LOT for free

[@christianjanes]

Good on you. Well done for making your hobby pay for itself!

[@thewinenut9800]

Thanks for being completely upfront about the promotion, and also thanks to you for continuing to produce videos in your own style, even if I’m not a fan of the yellow shorts.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

😂

[@adammono1839]

I'm hoping the yellow shorts accompany all future promotional videos!

[@pteddie6965]

Come on Wine Nut! Let Keith wear his 'lucky shorts'. I am sure he has his reasons that these shorts are his 'lucky shorts'. In high school (back in the mid sixties) , I had a pair of 'lucky orange socks'. This was back when only black or white socks were considered acceptable apparel for young men. I took a lot of ribbing from my friends, but these were my lucky socks and there are reasons that a man needs a little help to get lucky.

[@thewinenut9800]

pt eddie Keith has every right to wear his yellow shorts 🩳! I’m just not a fan, but then again I have no dress sense. For me it was red Explorer socks back in the day, but I wouldn’t pair them with yellow shorts either. 😁

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

This looks promising! 😊 We definitely need to see more batteries being compatible with other units. Or at least where they have the same charging port like the mobile phone industry.

[@domtrix224]

its good companies are sharing the battery technology, more need to do it, alot better for the envioment aswell, great video!

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Whos a lucky boy then. Its about time these companies worked together giving people more choice on one platform

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers mate

[@PhilCannonWoodworking]

Hi Keith, I don’t normally watch this type of video, but was interested in the Bosch hoover. A big thank you, was impressed with your first use review, especially how quiet it was compared to a corded hoover, and as we have just taken on a Romanian rescue dog, who is very nervous around loud noises, this seemed perfect, so we purchased one and she will stay in the same room when we use it and not get anxious or run away, it also hoovers very well, so we are very impressed with it, and use it every day due to the ease of use. Thanks for doing this video it’s helped us a lot.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you! Yeah I liked it a lot. Shame I didn't get to keep it !!

[@PhilCannonWoodworking]

@@RagnBoneBrown can't believe you didn't get to keep the items you advertised for them.

[@nathanlucas6465]

Cordless pressure washer is such a good idea. I bought a worx one last year. The car actually gets washed now. Could never be bothered digging out the mains powered one, and reeling out the hose and an extension lead before

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yeah I know that feeling. When I lived in a terraced house on a busy road I could never figure out an easy way to do it, would have loved one back then!

[@nathanlucas6465]

I'm amazed they're only just becoming a thing

[@SMee67]

Some nice gadgets there mate, good score on the saw😉 Good to see the sharing going around, will make many lives so much easier. 👍🏾

[@uknowulikethat4042]

as a thank you to the Power for all Alliance for sending you those goodies you could send them your sweet yellow shorts, of course after using the cordless hoover and then the wash system. :)

[@SonOfPatriots]

Bosch makes great products. My 2nd favorite behind DeWalt

[@chillyspoon]

Thanks Keith - I too prefer a clearly sponsored video like this over random ads for mobile games and insurance companies that cut sentences in half at random points in videos! .. and this one was genuinely interesting.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you Fergus, much appreciated

[@gazgough9264]

This is brilliant , running a gardening business while loving diy and woodwork its going to be amazing being able to have one battery for all tools instead of lots of different batteries and chargers for everything! better for the environment too. really excited by these!

[@PhillWyattProjects]

This is good to know as I have a few of the Bosch drills and plenty of these batteries already. The car washing tool looks very convenient 👍

[@Aaron-P]

The crevice tool is wibbly wobbly, but is it also timey wimey? 😉 Seriously, tho, congrats on an excellent sponsorship! I can appreciate you must be approached by all sorts of companies asking you to sell the attention of your viewers. Fair to say, "fly by night" are not words I've heard to describe Bosch. Well done, indeed. I hope you get to keep all those nice toys! 😎👍

[@davidmcarthur1093]

Good man informative without being boring hope you get more subs that will out way the disgraceful departures

[@greggh.748]

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Good video Keith and congratulations on the new toys :) They look like they are very handy to have around!💖👍👌😎JP

[@Badgerworkshop]

Battery garden tools would make my life much easier

[@_fuhquan]

I'm happy that manufacturers are joining up when it comes to powersupply. Nobody really want's to buy a seperate battery pack and loader for each tool etc. What I don't get is this: Why not go all the way? Why create this POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE when we already have the "CAS - Cordless Alliance System". This feels like Bosch just wants to do their own thing again.

[@tobybeswick36]

All circular saws are basically the same, if the blade's sharp they'll cut.. very nice idea with the cordless vacuum and jetwash though, they'd be very useful for a someone who does property maintenance

[@djcr9166]

Paid promotion or not, this is a really interesting video. Great job Keith! The hand held battery jet wash system looks great, perfect for washing the mountain bike before going back into the car after a day’s ride! I hope more manufacturers make a similar move in the coming years, as it’s great to be able to pick and choose the best tool each time rather than have to stick to the same platform. I have some Milwaukee tools but don’t fancy paying that kind of money for everything!

[@davidhughes7251]

I think I might treat myself to the Wagner spraying system. I’m trying to move away from using mains water on my allotment and using collected rainwater only. I think it’ll work a treat!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Would have loved to have a try of the wagner sprayer 👍

[@davidhughes7251]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown sorry I meant Gloria 😂. I’m half asleep 😴 😆

Good for you, man. An ad is totally fine if the product or service it promotes is relevant to the content of the channel. The whiners can do one.

[@beirtipol]

Thanks for tagging it as an ad. Much respect and well done on everything you've done so far. Love the new place by the way!

[@emmetworkshop2829]

I started with Ryobi a few years ago now and now I’m committed. But at least I only have 3 batteries and one charger for a dozen tools.

[@jakematic]

Great video, and glad to see them working with you ! We can only hope this starts a trend to have more universal battery tech.

[@paultay23]

Well done Keith... Well put together video and plenty to see... I have a Bosch cordless Hedge trimmer, great and useful tool

[@mrsb2914]

All this video has done is make me want all of these tools, I guess I'll be doing some more lockdown buying then! I especially like the cordless circular saw and the hedge cutter (especially having cut through my hedge cutter twice since March 😂)

[@sisters1941]

Wow Keith, fun to watch you doing housework.

[@SirBenJamin_]

Can we have a powertool Extractor/Vaccum port size alliance for all next? :P

[@mattclark7700]

Keith for those slabs get some sodium hypochlorite and spray that on them. All the dark spots will go, they are lichen and it kills it. Really amazing stuff.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers, will check that out for sure, be good to get that lovely pink colour back to life! 😂

[@mattclark7700]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown I did it on my indian sandstone and it brought it back like new. £16 a tub on eBay you can’t go wrong. Make a neat video too. Wear old clothes though as it destroys them.

[@MrJozza65]

It's about time these batteries were standardised for all companies; after all, the innards are all the same but the different companies put them in different cases to tie you to their brand/product lines. We are all used to AA, AA etc for small items so a universal battery standard would be so good, and would save having to chuck out perfectly good tools when you can't get a new battery because it's been discontinued. Some nice tools shown here too, the Bosch washer would be particularly useful for me as I can't get a hose round the front of my mid-terrace house

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

My favourite bit was the bush in the face😂 last time I used my hedge trimmer I cut the lead in half😭 so batteries are definitely the way to go.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Karl. I did that with a belt sander once! 🙄

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

@@RagnBoneBrown how did you sand clean through it😂😂😂

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Must of been 40g 😂

[@billconiston8091]

Why did Bosch choose the DIY battery line and not the pro line to run with this - so disappointing. Ironically the DIY replacement batteries are more expensive than the pro ones too...

[@iMiniBiscuits]

I think it was to avoid competition with Metabo and their Cordless Alliance System in the professional category

[@mrwarlock5070]

Well done for getting support for the channel, in this day and age you have to take it where you can get it so I fully support what you're doing :) I used to use Bosch all the time as I always considered them to be one of the better makes, but after a couple of the batteries for their cordless items failed ridiculously fast, I switched and now almost all of my tools are Ryobi, with most on the one platform, which is similar to these. To be honest its good to see these companies making it so you don't need to spend a fortune buying different batteries for different tools :)

[@ShaunMeighan]

This is a really cool idea, separate batteries for every tool is similar to how every mobile phone used to have a different charger!

[@paulbanks8583]

I agree it's about time that battery connection systems became universal. It will be interesting to see if others follow suit especially where they are owned by by the same holding company. So do you get to keep the tools after the product review Keith?

[@Wordsnwood]

now if only that would happen on this side of the pond also!

[@sdwebster73]

[@Andy-sj2hl]

[@user-te1le7ck6b]

Really good ad that didn’t feel like a hard sell , more in depth and honest reviews for future segments please 👍

[@NomadMakes]

Will you be cooperating more with Bosch going forward? I mean, they make all kinds of woodworking products in the price range just slightly above Ryobi, the green Bosch that is. I really like some of their products, while others are not that impressive. Anyway, I would be cool to see their saws and such used in anger.

[@northshorepx]

Interesting video. I know you're bound by rules when you make these, but I'd love to have seen those tools in action a bit more. Perhaps it's your excellent presentation. But anyway I liked it because I know as a content producer you work hard to make this stuff for us. I will definitely check out this product.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@warnev]

Do they work on the bosch professional range of batteries?

[@dougsaunders8109]

Like the idea of changeable battery for a vacuum. Nothing worse than cleaning 9/10ths of your floor One platform for batteries has to be a good thing.

[@pteddie6965]

Keith, I liked this video. These tools were ones that are sure to appeal to the average DIY homemaker. I hope that this marks the beginning of a move into cooperation between tool companies. It's certainly difficult to be tied to one brand of tools because the batteries and chargers won't interchange between companies. On another front, how about a video showing what methods you use to protect your furniture from your cat. I would like to build things that will protect my furniture from the cat.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you! I've done a cat scratching post build in the past on my channel, my cat is quite good as he doesn't scratch furniture luckily, although he did have a spell of scratching carpets. We got him the cardboard things shown in the video, put them everywhere he was scratching and he uses them now 👍

[@alastairmackay4589]

I never have complaints about your videos, but the yellow shorts have gotta go! 🩳 lol

[@zahor0269]

I was so excited when I saw an early video, but then it turned out to be an ad promotional video. So sad... However, this is great for you Keith! Do what you have to do to make your money. It's unfortunate on my end, you know because of the false excitement, but I love your videos so me watching this to support you is the least I can do for all the hours of simple woodworking entertainment you've given me in the last few years. Cheers to you mate! Glad to see your channel developing. And at least its for something related to your channel, and not you starting off with "The sponsor of this video, Raid: Shadow Legends", lol.

[@stephenpeacock2627]

Can’t believe you used a brush to wash the car and van. Will be lots of scratches on them now.

[@manicmaker52]

Awesome...

[@yrification]

Be nice if the Bosch professional batteries are compatible.

[@Unlovable]

I really didn't mind watching this ad, I just really like your video style and it didn't feel like an ad. Besides, I like the idea of just one battery for all, it is really annoying that you have to buy different batteries for all your tools.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@dawnswift533]

I’m going to have to get me one of those little vacuums

[@JohnColgan.]

Great video, adds value to portable tools and saves your electric bill. Is there a great range of Bosch workshop tools to choose from? All quieter on battery than mains. Did you have to hand them back after??

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks John, yeah the Bosch home and garden (green tools) has an impressive range of tools aimed more at the DIYer, but is separate to the Bosch blue (professional) range of tools. I've used lots of their green tools over the years, 2x drills, a jigsaw, a circular saw, a belt sander (which I still have) and all performed really well and were reliable. And yes I have to send them back unfortunately! I'll miss the vacuum the most!

[@pasinen]

POWER FOR ALL... ...except Bosch Blue 18v users... I would probably be bosch user if they would have only one 18v system instead of two. Luckily we have Makita.

[@AliDymock]

Very nice Keith, but where's the link to your shorts? - I want a pair! 🍍🍍🍍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I’ve been trying to find another pair since I spilt wood stain on them! Devastating 😂

[@JohnColgan.]

Use masking tape & more woodstain for striped shorts. (Modern take on '60s tie-dye)

[@malcolmfortune5178]

I don't mind a bit of paid promotion on a channel like this especially when forewarned and when it's close to the usual topics.. better than the video games ;) I don't get the unsubscribing "outrage" ... it's not like we are being forced to watch it - right ? :)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Uh oh! £££

[@cjhification]

I understand channels that do the mobile games stuff, and just ignore it. The fact that the stuff you make ad content for is relevant (not so much for me as I have the Bosch pro battery platform and I'm assuming it's not compatible as I'm pretty sure the green tools have a different battery terminal) is a bonus to my mind. You have a very calming way about you, similar to essential craftsman so there is not much you make I wouldn't watch.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you Craig! Much appreciated. And yes the Bosch blue pro range is a separate platform

[@cjhification]

@@RagnBoneBrown thanks for the confirmation. And for continuing to make very enjoyable and entertaining content.

[@heriothandyman3148]

Are the shorts from Bosch as well? 😂

[@negotiableaffections]

Batteries, chargers, cables and connectors - the biggest nuisance since printer cartridges. I remember when MIDI came along to improve connectivity in music studios. I've wondered why the top manufacturers didn't just agree on a standard battery/charger format for ages. Choice rather than exclusivity is better in the long run.

[@negotiableaffections]

btw, look forward to seeing you on QVC lol

[@IngridRollema]

I don't get the people who make "flounce" announcements ("Ewww, I don't like what you did trying to make a living, so I'm leaving!") as if it's some huge, personal betrayal. Just don't watch it maybe? Or if it's that upsetting, click unsub and scroll away to another part of the internet, ffs. Gah. People! It's an ad -- an obvious and not sneaky ad -- for products that are actually useful and related to the content of the channel instead of some stupid random app or game geared towards kids. I probably won't buy any of the products in the future (if they are even available to the US) but it's useful to me to know that they're out there and that the battery game vs corded is changing for the better. Although I have to say that that vacuum and the car washer both are quite intriguing!

Don't get the negative comments. I guess these people don't have bills to pay? I don't mind you using paid promotions at all. But I don't know if devoting a whole video for it, is maybe not the way to go? Personally I find it less interesting to watch, so I skipped halfway. Especially because I even moved away from Bosch, mostly because their tools make so much more noise compared to other brands. Sorry, just try to be honest and try to give some feedback. Keep up the good work, always like to watch your videos! 👍🏻😎

[@erictheviking672]

Please remember that you are talking to non-professionals, so target your language accordingly. You lost me with the overly technical description of the crevice nozzle. ;) Otherwise an interesting idea and there's an argument that this should be obligatory to cut down on the waste of all the chargers and batteries we all have.
