Germany and UK had a turn, it’s time for the U.S to get their palms on it. Introducing the Bosch 12V Max Palm Edge Router GKF12V-25 ($159)! This lightweight, ergonomic router offers 13,000 RPM, great run time and consistent performance.
The Bosch Colt Router led the market for a number of years, actually paved the way for other manufactures’ corded trim Routers such Makita and Dewalt. Last year Bosch updated to the new Bosch Colt GKF125CEK ($119) with a familiar design but more power and features. Read more about the Bosch Colt Router GKF125 here
We’re surprised that this cordless router didn’t come sooner honestly, Ridgid and Makita launched their 18V cordless routers some time ago. Bosch is now ready to go cordless but suprisingly in a 12V tool, the GKF12V-25 is an all new Edge Router design. Unlike when other released their cordless model which look very similar to corded, this looks nothing like their corded Colt routers. The GKF12V-25 router design looks like it could be a game changer for usability but it will not fit in the existing accessories or Plunge Base and raises questions for run-time.
As they all say, it’s difficult to judge a tool by it’s press release so we’re looking forward to getting one in hand to give it a real world test. We’re curious to see how it stacks up to the corded Colt and other Cordless models.
