The battery can be recharged very quickly. Usually under an hour and with 1.5 Ah keep quite long. Other providers come here to much more negative.
A rock-solid product, upgradeable with 3 years warranty.
These are actually all pluses.
Hobby craftsmen, artisans opportunity, major rebuild Home: Accessing. Here you can buy a good device.
Bad points:
Quality / durability.
After less than 1.5 years, the screwdriver was posted for the first time for repair.
Electronic module and motor defective. No function = warranty.
After another 7 months of the screwdriver was posted again. Re: electronics module is defective, this time with full function, but the LED light did not go out again. Battery was empty more quickly. To be fair, but it must be said here that this error possibly by own fault. (Moisture) may have happened in our work.
Schade here: No separate disconnection of the LED lamp.
A paid repair we would have liked agreed ....
Sadly, however, when used for 4-6 times a week, about 2-3 hours to loosen screws household appliances / turn (so little real impact, the device is already reached the end of life!
Conclusion Bosch Customer Service: Motor worn out, worn gear. All only be exchanged for new.
Cost point of repair: Higher than a new unit.
Bosch said he was "generous" and gave a price advantage for a new device. Of course, plus shipping.
Unfortunately, this "price advantage" exactly 31 euros was higher than the price of other dealers who supply no "price advantage" additionally free.
The who can understand.
Among professional users an entrepreneur actually mean more, here was aware as an operating expense, the choice for a device which at least apparently a particular burden and durability suggests. Also traders need to plan, even if you can so to settle an output tax.
Now after 2.5 years of use the premature end and we were taught the better.
For an entrepreneur is actually not worth the expenditure for these wrenches. A professional device which is designed to be at the end of the legal guarantee of his life quite early, smells suspiciously like planned obsolescence. But in order to build / planning yes more and more manufacturers nowadays.
As a real comparison to today's quality management and in times where many seemed to be even better: An ancient screwdrivers from Mannesmann, almost 25 years old, is running with us still .. same request, same daily life, changed for 9 Euro 8 years ago coals , now also from and get to New batteries, replaceable normal "battery size) you can get in any supermarket.
No professional device, but which was then designed for home users. Clunky, not fancy, no light, cumbersome .. but durable!
