Bosch Professional 18v Tools

Bosch Professional 18v Tools at Tooled-Up.com

Bosch Professional 18v Tools are cordless power tools built around one shared battery platform, so a single set of batteries and chargers runs everything from a drill on a first fix to a sander on the final finish. Tooled-Up.com stocks the range across drills, grinders, saws, routers, sanders, nail guns, hot air heat guns, air blowers and radios.

Because the tools share a battery system, you can build a kit gradually. Buy bare units if you already own Bosch Professional 18v batteries, or choose a kit with batteries and charger included. Either way you avoid carrying a separate battery and charger for each job, and you stay free of 240v extension leads on site.

The range covers heavy-duty work such as cutting and grinding, precise work such as routing and sanding, and site-support tools such as radios and air blowers.

Key Features of Bosch Professional 18v Tools

• Brushless motors (selected models): they run efficiently with less wear, so you get more work from each charge and fewer maintenance issues.
• ProCORE18V batteries: higher-capacity packs suit power-hungry tools such as grinders and saws, while smaller packs keep drills and sanders light for overhead work.
• Electronic Cell Protection (ECP): it guards against overload, overheating and deep discharge, which helps protect the battery's lifespan.
• KickBack Control (selected drills and drivers): it detects a sudden bind-up and cuts the motor, reducing the risk of wrist injury.
• Vibration control and dust extraction options: these reduce fatigue on grinders and sanders and help you keep dust under control to meet COSHH requirements.
• Bluetooth connectivity (selected tools): it allows settings to be adjusted and tools to be tracked through a smartphone app.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy a bare unit or a kit?

Choose a bare unit if you already own Bosch Professional 18v batteries and a charger. Choose a kit if you are starting out, as it includes everything needed to begin work.

Are all Bosch Professional 18v batteries interchangeable?

Batteries in the blue Professional 18v system work across compatible tools in the range. They are not designed for Bosch's green DIY tools, so check compatibility before buying.

What battery size do I need?

Lower-capacity batteries keep drills and sanders lighter for overhead and repetitive work. Higher-capacity packs such as ProCORE18V suit demanding tools like grinders and saws, and tools that run for long periods.

Do I need dust extraction with these tools?

Grinders, sanders, routers and saws all create dust. Use extraction where possible, along with suitable PPE, to help meet COSHH and HSE guidance. Check each tool's specification for compatible extraction connections.
