Robert Bosch came to the United States in 1884 to work with Thomas Edison. He opened his own business in 1886 in Germany and in 1906 opened a plant in the United States.
Today, the Bosch Corporation has offices and plants throughout the USA and employs a large number of American workers.
Bosch is known for exceptional quality, technological innovation and outstanding customer service. It is this quality, state of the art products and excellent customer support that sets Bosch apart from its competitors.
Bosch introduced its first power drill in the early 1930's and is still a major player in the power drill market. The company offers an extensive line of both corded and cordless drills to suit every job and pocketbook. This site focuses on Bosch Cordless Drills.
Bosch's first cordless drill appeared in 1961. It was a great idea whose time hadn‘t come. The batteries made the drill heavy, they were short-lived and lacked adequate power to operate the drill properly. They also took forever to charge and cost a small fortune to replace.
At that time, most people opted for the corded drill because it was lighter, more powerful, more reliable and a lot less expensive to operate than its cordless counterpart. This is no longer the case. The gap between the cordless drill and its corded brother has closed dramatically.
Now, the cordless drill is a household mainstay and has infiltrated the workplace as well. This surge in popularity has to do with a number of innovations. Perhaps the most important of which is the development of the lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries are lighter in weight than the batteries of yore and charge much more quickly.
Bosch, a pioneer in the development of cordless drills, is responsible for many of today's' innovations and improvements. Here are a few of them:
1. Outstanding Ergonomic design -- soft grip, angled handle
2. High Speed and High Torque -- Gets tough jobs done - fast
3. Tough Dura Shield Housing - A Bosch exclusive. Bosch cordless drills with "Dura Shield" are super tough. The Dura Shield equipped drill can survive a 10’ fall landing on concrete. This housing is also designed to protect the drill from extreme temperatures, rain, dirt, and debris.
4. Bosch Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Batteries - When it comes to li-ion batteries, Bosch rules. Bosch batteries run two times longer and have a 35% longer life cycle than its competitors -- and, Bosch guarantees it. They can be fully charged in 30 minutes and charged as much as 85% in as little as 15 minutes.
5. Electronic Cell Protection -- This is a unique battery pack Bosch design. It employs customized electronics to deliver optimal battery life and performance.
6. The Bosch guarantee ProVantage -- Drills covered by ProVantage have a two-year battery replacement guarantee, a one-year tool replacement guarantee and additional two years of free tool repair.
7. A one-call resolution hotline exclusively for ProVantage Members.
Taking all of this into consideration, I personally believe you can't go wrong with a Bosch drill.
