Do Bosch tools not exist outside of Germany? Here the professional (blue) line is pretty much on par with hilti and Makita in terms of quality if not better depending on the type of tool

Bosch doesnt really enter the chat in a lot of places because their range of (excellent) tools just isnt that big.

If you're looking to enter a dad dick measuring contest with your tool collection Bosch isnt going to win, I swear Ryobi is about 3 seconds from bringing out a battery powered battery.

So basically, Bosh is Bosh-batons Academy of Magic.

Mastercraft/Amazon Basic brand over here for us squibs too.

Stanley is the dark arts. They own DeWalt, we all pretend DeWalt isn't just a front for Stanley, but we all know they are sus. Users of Stanley tools are known as Deck Eaters.

I was wondering when someone would mention MasterCrap

I have Ryobi's battery powered power supply, so... kinda!

There’s some Bosch stuff in the UK. I’m a Makita person but I recently bought a Bosch glue gun and it’s the most solid feeling glue gun I’ve ever had.

Not a professional line but I also know a few people that love the Parkside tools from Lidl, they are good value home tools so I’m told.

The Lidl tools give me some serious Harbor Freight vibes.

They exist in NA but definitely aren't as popular. The Bosch evsk1617 kit is still the best value for a larger size (not palm) router kit.

Bosch os common throughout Europe. In the US it probably suffers from the not invented here syndrome. Or maybe just heavy taxes, or they don't think blue is manly enough. Who can tell?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I've let the smoke out of a Bosch drill before, they're not that great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Thing is I've only seen their cheap and really crappy line.
