The video below popped up on YouTube last week on the Bosch UK. The GSR 18 V-EC FC2 comes with several heads for a variety of drilling and fastening applications. Festool has offered this for years in the premium tool category and more recently we’ve seen less expensive options that can interchange out all kind of saws, sanders and other types of tool heads. It looks like this is definitely a trend that is not going away so it’ll be nice to see other professional brands get involved so the tools actually perform and it’s not just a gimmick that make a nice infomercial.
The mechanical SDS-Plus head looks pretty interesting, and we are very curious to see how this type of mechanism would compare with the results of hammer mode on a standard cordless drill. If this style does out perform it might make a handy accessory as an SDS-Plus adaptor for use with other high torque 1/2″ chucked drills that are now getting 1,000+ in.lbs.
Hopefully we’ll see these Bosch Tools headed this way soon but don’t hold your breath, we still never saw that Bosch cordless 36V chainsaw which came out some 5 years ago in Europe…
