Product Information

Enhanced comfort and control while working: Enhanced comfort and control – the anti-vibration handle enables optimal tool guidance, and the ability to apply extra pressure onto the working area if required. It can be easily screwed into either side of the tool. So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however. That’s a fair amount of tool for the money and it’s enough to get started on most at-home DIY projects, where this thing will easily chew through whatever you throw at it. Just bear in mind it is insanely noisy, especially when cutting, but Bosch has done a good job of isolating the vibrations, so it doesn’t leave your hands suffering too badly from pins and needles after extended use like some models.

PowerForAll has many advantages not least the fact that once you have a tool with a few batteries then there is no need to buy the more expensive versions with battery & charger, you can just go ahead & buy the much cheaper no battery versions! However, the key difference between this and the more professional variants is the electronic motor, which will be brushless in the professional range, eking out more from the battery life and allowing those pro builders to work all day without too much interruption.The Bosch Advanced 18V Cordless Multi Tool might not be quite as robust, nor does it run as long as its professional grade sibling, but the differences between the two aren’t stark in the slightest. For keen DIYers, this will be more than enough for most jobs, while even professional tradespeople might benefit from the savings made by purchasing this “mid-level” tool. As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable.

The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing.

Features

I use it for everything. Precision cutting of plastic trim and plasterboard, floorboards, ceilings etc... there's a blade to cut everything. Batteries last fine for home use, I've got two, to switch over while one is on charge (30 minutes). It's half the weight of a professional one, and half as noisy. But you will still need ear defenders”

Speed adjustments for various jobs: Electronic Speed Preselection enables setting a precise maximum speed limit to suit various materials and applications. Limit the cutting depth when segment sawing: When precise segment sawing of cavities and recesses is required, rotate the depth stop attachment to select the required setting and limit the cutting depth. As previously mentioned, it’s loud and a little unwieldy to use with one hand, but Bosch provides a precision handle that is easily screwed to the left or right of the body to get an improved grip on things.I’ve used it for sanding, cutting and scraping during my time with it and the Bosch attachments feel extremely well put together and don’t blunt as easily as some of the others I’ve tested. The same goes for the sanding head, which holds up well even after long bouts of removing stubborn varnish from kitchen worktops.

Finally, there’s an oversized LED on the front of the tool that brilliantly illuminates any surface you are working on. The fact that it wraps 180-degrees around the front of the tool means you get a much better look at the job in hand compares to the concentrated blast of light from a puny single LED.

A great tool that's saved me time of having to get a pro in to do same job, with a similar tool! But only came with two blades, so I bought at least ten extra blades etc.” In terms of specs, the Bosch tool oscillates from 10,000rpm to 20,000rpm and this is easily adjustable thanks to six different settings, selected by rotating a small plastic dial on the flank. The on/off switch is reassuringly chunky, too, while the mechanism to slide and clip one of the batteries into place feels like it will withstand years of battery swaps with no dramas.Powerful lighting for clear visibility: The integrated worklight features powerful built-in LEDs, which illuminate the targeted work space and enable working in dark confines and corners with clear view of and confident control over the tool application.
