Bosch Power Tools SA senior brand manager Juergen Lauer says
that the flexibility of giving customers this choice means measur-
able cost savings on batteries, as Bosch Blue batteries and chargers
can be used across a variety of products.“This gives customers the freedom
to choose any combination that suits their specific individual needs,”
he explains.
With the Freedom Approach, the customer has maximum flexibility and
freedom of choice to purchase exactly what is required to get the job done
without any unnecessary extras. Furthermore, the customer can always
renew or change the power supply over the lifetime of the tools, and will
always have easy and quick access to the latest power supply technology
without having to consistently replace cordless tools.
“This provides them with a great cost saving as they do not have to
purchase a tool with a battery and charger for each new tool they need, but
rather just the solo tool. However, all Bosch Blue tools are also available as
solo items and come in a carton box. Batteries and chargers are not included
in the carton box, but may be purchased separately,” Lauer continues.
This ability to mix and match also saves space in the workman’s kit, while
ensuring a simple switch-over between tools.“Matching system accessories
for all Bosch Blue power tools has set newmarket standards, as the Freedom
Approach enables the dealer and tradesperson to make a simple four-step
purchase, namely; tool, batteries, charger and case,” adds Lauer.
Bosch Power Tools has also expanded its battery range for professionals
and has set new standards in lithium-ion batteries. With its new 6 Ah battery
launched in early-2015, Bosch Power Tools is the first manufacturer world-
wide to offer the highest rated charge to date in the 18 V class.
Lauer points out that the 6 Ah battery has a 20% longer runtime than
the 5 Ah batteries that were launched in January, and 50% longer than
that of the widely-used 4 Ah batteries. “The new 6 Ah batteries offer the
longest runtime in this segment and enable professional tradespeople to
work without interruption.”
He adds that these batteries have Bosch CoolPack technology, which
means that they last for twice as long as batteries without CoolPack, which
increases the productivity of professionals. Two batteries and chargers
are available for all Professional cordless drills, impact drills and impact
wrenches from Bosch.
