Bosch L-Boxx Plastic Cases

The New Bosch L-Boxx Plastic Cases by Sortimo are now firmly taking hold in the market.  These Boxes give excellent storage and can be clipped together for easy transport.

Along with the other items in the Sortimo range, these boxes can be integrated into the Sortimo racking and vehicle solutions.

The Bosch L-Boxx has been released in four sizes, all 442x357mm length x width, in different heights:

L-Boxx 102 is 117mm tall and ideal for some smaller 10.8v tools or various accessories/screws/nails/etc. and can be purchased with a selection of small boxes that fit in it - specilly for holding screws and drill bits.

L-Boxx 136 is 151mm tall and probably the most popular for the majority of drills.  There are a range of inserts for a few different machines.
L-Boxx 236 is 253mm tall - suitable for planers and other larger tools.
L-Boxx 374 is 389mm tall and ideal for the largest tools - this is currently the largest L-Boxx available.

Bosch GSR 10.8 V-Li Model Identification

Bosch have now released 3 versions of their popular GSR 10.8V-Li Drill Driver.  Unfortunately for buyers and sellers, they have named them all the same!  Hopefully this short guide will help you to understand the different versions.

GSR 10.8 V-Li (Original)

The original GSR 10.8V-Li Was a tidy little Drill/Driver with a 1/4" Hex magnetic connector for holding screwdriver bits.

GSR 10.8 V-Li (MK2)

The MK2 or Second Generation GSR 10.8 V-Li had a new motor and a 'quick release' 1/4" Hex connector.  This securely held the screwdriver bits so they did not come out during use.

GSR 10.8 V-Li (MK3)

The MK3 or Third Generation GSR 10.8 V-Li has another new motor and is much more compact - currently the shortest Drill/Driver on the market.  It still has the quick release 1/4" Hex connector but now has two gears for high speed or high torque usage.






As well as the different versions of the GSR 10.8 V-Li, the GSR 10.8-2-Li with a 10mm keyless chuck has gone through two generations.  The first was similar to the MK2 above and the second almost the same as the MK3 above but with the 10mm keyless chuck.

We hope this short guide helps you identify the different Bosch GSR 10.8 V-Li models

Bosch Cordless Lawnmower! The ROTAK Lithium-Ion Range

Bosch have recently released a range of Cordless Garden Tools - no petrol, no cables and still offer full power.
We now have the ROTAK 42 available for sale on our website at http://www.custompowertools.co.uk/bosch-rotak-lithium-cordless-lawnmower-p-3639.html

At last there is a lawnmower with the new Lithium-Ion technology that combines the advantages of petrol, electric and cordless lawnmowers but does not have their disadvantages.  The Bosch Rotak LI is as powerful as an electric mower but it does not have an annoying cable, so it is not dependent on a plug socket. Up to 40 % lighter than traditional cordless or petrol mowers, it is nevertheless very powerful, always ready to use, much quieter and it does not produce the smell of petrol. And most importantly: the small amount of energy it requires causes ten times less CO2 emissions than petrol mowers.
