I've got various Bosch power tools, a router, mains powered hammer drill, cordless drill and circular saw. I've had them for years and they all seem pretty much indestructable.

I bought them all from Argos. As far as I know Argos don't sell Bosch anymore, I wonder where you have to go to buy Bosch these days?

I got a Bosch strimmer and it lasted about a fortnight. :evil:

Reverted to my dewalt brand. :lol:


btw. I got a hammer drill from argos in the eighties. Black&Decker. Made in England forsooth :P . 36 quid. Done stirling service since and still alive and kicking.
