For its intended purpose, I.e. edge trimming, this is amazing. Battery lasts long enough and they charge quickly. It’s great in the had and really well balanced. I find I use it more than I thought I would and turn to it whenever I can.

I’ve needed a tool this size which was small and handy rather than my larger routers, so far this seems to be exactly what I need for those smaller jobs where you can’t get a big tool i

I have been toying whether to buy one of these for a while but i am glad i did.
A great 12v power tool which is so easy to use. I was amazed how quick and clean it cuts through the timber.

Absolutely fantastic piece of kit! Ideal for trimming and round over edges.

I have a lot of these Bosch 12v tools now and this one does not disappoint.
Things I like:
It’s very quiet, vibration free and well balanced, easy to get good smooth cuts.
The spindle lock is a pull out catch rather than one of those buttons you have to hold down, much simpler and easier to use.
It’s powerful, with a decent cutter it will go through oak easily.
Lack of any attachment point for a fence is not really a problem, for edge trimming or shaping use a guided cutter, for straight cuts clamp a guide piece to your work and it’s fine.
The cutter height adjuster is ingenious, the fact that they’ve managed to fit a fine adjustment onto something this compact is brilliant.
There is indeed only a 6.3mm collet supplied, not an issue for me but if you have 8mm cutters you would probably need to source a different collet.
So, the tool is great but there are some things I’m not so keen on.
The power switch is not well placed for left handers, it would be better on the front of the handle.
The bare tool, carton version DOES NOT come with the L-BOXX insert, and there is no way of buying it separately. Come on Bosch, I bought the bare tool because I already have plenty of spare batteries and space in another Boxx, all my other bare tools came with an insert but this one no – you don’t even list the part number, now I have to muck about with that stupid foam block to keep this tool from rattling about in storage. Pretty poor marketing I think.

This was purchased for my husband and he loves it, he informed me that it takes a little getting use to but once you have it does exactly what he requires. I looked into lots of these before I purchased this and found it was value for money as the others tend to have no battery or case so you need to purchase them separately which naturally adds to the cost. It also came way before they had said it would.

A wonderful tool. Fits into the hand perfectly with the weight of your hand going over the bit allowing perfect control. Arrived a day earlier than expected wrapped well.

I would recommend this tool to anybody.
