Bosch has made power tools since 1932, when it released the first electric hammer drill, and the blue Professional line is the trade half of the business, separate from the green DIY tools. Strength lies in measuring and concrete work: rotary hammers with SDS-plus and SDS-max, laser levels, and the GKF palm routers used in cabinet shops. The ProCORE18V batteries and the Connected tools with Bluetooth tracking are the current focus, with a three year warranty after registration in most markets.
Best value for anyone drilling into masonry or working from measurements all day, and the European distribution network makes parts easy to find. The catalogue is smaller in the cordless outdoor category than Makita's, and the split between blue and green confuses buyers who accidentally get the lighter duty version. Some Professional accessories are priced well above generic equivalents.
