deluxe router case
I was very happy with everything about my new Bosch 1617EVS router except the fact that it didn't come with a case. (My workshop doubles as my garage, so everything has to get put away every so often, so my wife can park her car in the "garage.") Originally, I wasn't happy about having to pay extra for this case, but when the item arrived, I got over the initial sticker shock.

The case is very solidly built and wide enough that it won't tip over if you hit it with something. (That's a problem with a lot of the other plastic tool cases I have.) Inside, it has space for the router as well as collet wrenches and a number of 1/2" and 1/4" bits.

Interestingly, the case holds the router upside down -- but since that's how my routers spend most of their time when they're not in the cases, I guess they're used to it.

If you have a 1617 or 1618 router and need to transport it or just want to keep it out of harm's way, you can't do better than this attractive, sturdy, and functional case.

Cool box
Seems silly to write a review on a box, but this is such a cool one, I have to. An afterthought purchase to make the amount of the order go over [price], it turned out to be the next best thing to the router that it fits, plus it holds about a gazillion router bits and all the odds and ends for the machine. Buy it -- it's worth every penny and more. ... Read more

Excellent all rounder - even for hardwood
For the last 9 months I have been searching for a suitable blade for cutting 20mm Hardwood floors, usually Oak or Merbau. I require both a clean, splinter free cut for going across the grain but also a fast cutting blade for cutting along the grain, up to lengths of 2 metres. At last I have found one! The T234X is superb. It gives almost mitre saw quality cuts across the grain and cuts at great speed along the grain. I broke five "regular" Bosch blades this morning, I only used the one progressor this afternoon and it is still going strong. This is the only blade I will buy from now on, I recommend you try it too!

Cut quickly, Cut clean
In my experience, this blade makes a fine, straight, usually splinter-free cut in thick and thin solid wood. I have used it on redwood and pine in various dimensions with great results. I have not personally used it on particleboard or plywood, but if Bosch says that it will work equally well on those, I will believe it. Buy a pack and try it for yourself.

The BEST Jigsaw Blades Ever Made for Wood!
The title of this review says it all. These blades have a separate set of teeth that cut each side of the kerf. You can actually end up with cuts that don't need sanding! These cut through everything I have tried them on like butter. They are particularly good on plywood.

I use them in my Bosch Jigsaw (see that review, also). I suppose they will fit other brands that have a bayonet mount.

If you find a smoother cutting blade, let me know! ... Read more

Just plain JUNK
While my Bosch 1587 is quality made and the Bosch saw blades are the best I have used, the optional JA1003 Cutting Guide is a [X] piece of junk. As soon as I got it I pulled the set point out of its holder and one of the cheap plastic lock pins broke. I could make one better than this one. Also its made in China not the US or Germany! Also the instructions are printed in pictures on the cardboard package. There are no written instructions to give the novice usefull hints. If I only paid [X] for it I would say I got what I paid for. My advice is to look for a quality after market cutting guide and stay away from the Bosch.

save your money
I agree with druziligaamazala The (...)thing is plastic!, and is worth about $2.00 and made in china !!!
If this were way all BOSCH tools were made I would not have any .... save your money for a good aftermarket version

The (...)thing is plastic!
Not only is it plastic, it is engraved with metric units of measure. I realize Bosch is a european sounding name, but if they are selling product in the USA they could at least warn you that this is a metric tool. If I wanted to learn the metric system, I would have asked to be born in Germany. If you commonly use inches, you will not enjoy using this accessory. Don't get me wrong, I really like plastic for toys and tupperwear. I think for the money this guide should be of a substantial metal construction.

Certainly worth Owning
This is my second one of these. The first was borrowed ( forever ) by a friend of mine. He used it once, and said . . . it fits great, works well and now I can use the jig saw for more precise cutting and quick jobs without all the measurements ".That really sums it up. You can actually set this guide up on your BOSCH jig saw in easily less than a minute, start to finish. The circle cutout feature is slick but simple. You simply flip the pin over to one side or the other depending on which way you are cutting and it pretty much stays put ( assuming that you press it in place or drill a location hole for the ABS pin )which allows you to cut a consistent circle. It may be nice to have this machined out of a substantial casting or stamped aluminum with darkened numerals, but for the money, it is pretty tough to complain about ( so I won't ). Good, useful accessory, thats been well worth the money time and time again.

Makes quick work of cutting strips and circles
A very useful accessory if you need to cut strips off a sheet of plywood with your jigsaw. Also good for cutting circles. Like other Bosch accessories, it fits their jigsaw perfectly. Also, it snaps into a holder in the blue plastic case that came with my barrel grip saw. My only complaint would be too much plastic. I'd be happier with an all metal unit that would stand up a little better under rough usage. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The first thing you'll notice about Bosch's rotary hammer is its great ergonomics, which clearly were a major consideration in the design of the hammer. The grip and trigger mechanism are well integrated, especially the front grip, and long enough to accommodate different body styles (I've got long arms; my buddy is the opposite: we both liked the tool's feel). For a rotary hammer, design is especially critical during overhead and down-drilling operations, where fatigue can quickly rear its ugly head. The tool's vario-lock positioning is great; it gives you 36 different working angles to choose from so you can modify the tool to fit the application. Likewise, the hammer offers three operational modes: hammer only, rotation only, and hammer with rotation. Are there drawbacks? Not many. The bit-changing mechanism is a little stiff and a little cumbersome, perhaps--but that's a pretty minor negative in a tool that otherwise provides such pleasant operation. The people at Bosch really know what they're doing, and it shows in this tool. --Michael Shilling ... Read more

Quality, Power, Features.. It has it all
I bought what to my guess is the 220v version of this hammer. Exact same feature set and spec - except for the AC line.

I went out and bought it after a drain pipe, which was laid in concerete in my house started leaking, at first I started chiseling using a cold chisel and a sledge - few hours work to get to the pipe. Then I also had to reach another point in the pipe and decided that I had enough.
Breaking through the same thinkness of concrete using the Bosch hammer (in hammering only / rotation lock mode) took less then 10 minutes, and was very easy on the operator (me).

A few weeks later I used it to set three 3/4" anchors in a concrete wall in my building. Drilling the holes - 5 inches deep each, was a breeze.
Safety clutch worked very well. In fact, I was not even aware that this hammer had a safety clutch until the bit hit a reinforcement steel rod - rotation action instantly stopped, while hamerring action continued. I didn't feel even the slightest torque blow on my hands when it happened, and, pulling the bit back was fairly simple thanks to the fact that the hammering action still functioned.

Also, the internal reduction gear makes this tool a good choice for screw driving, it succeeded where similar power, but higher RPM, electrical drills had failed.
My unit came with an automatic three jaw chuck, which works great for steel and wood drill bits, as well as for screwdriver bits, and takes 10 seconcds or less to replace with the SDS-Plus chuck.

One nitpick - for non-professional use, the SDS bits can get pricy, especially the larger diameter, longer ones: a 16x400mm bit cost me .... (then again, for non-profession use, the whole story is somewhat expensive to begin with...)

I cannot testify for the durability of the tool, since I do not use it so often - you'll have to go for other reviews for that.

This is a well built, ergonomic, powerful, and feature laden tool, all feature are useful - no toy features. and, at least my unit, came in a quality plastic case that I'm using as a day-to-day toolbox for the hammer and it's accessories.

If you can afford it, cannot rent or borrow one when you need it, and do even occasional concrete drilling or chiseling - worth the price.

7/8 is plenty for aged concrete
I bought the 7/8" Bosch a few weeks ago to destroy an old concrete porch, clean a large vertical crack in my cement stairs, and to generally cause havoc with a badly designed and poorly executed fieldstone walk that surrounds my little 1938 Tudor Revival House. If you live in an aging concrete house, buy this tool.

I've used the larger Bosch hammers, but could not afford them. I can rent those when needed. This one is light, and has just enough "kick" on the hammer-only function to cut through the rather soft concrete that I'm working on.

I also bought the SDS-to-3-jaw chuck adapter, and that attachment renders a really nasty drill for pressure treated wood.

The tool itself, and the Bosch hammer drill bits and chisels are all high-quality tools. It's a pleasure to use them. The alternative, a cold chisel and baby sledge, is unthinkable now. ... Read more

Nice quality grinder
