A MODEL IN SUSTAINABILITY
The
Nomzamo community hall and business
centre shows how it should be done.
Bosch has equipped cordless
combis in the 18 volt classes
with brushless EC motors.
In future, the range will
include the GSB 18 V-EC
Professional combis.
This is part of the
‘dynamicseries’ from Bosch –
a series of especially compact
tools with long battery
runtime – and is based on
tried-and-tested models.
They have a longer
lifetime thanks to their EC
technology, lasting for twice
as long as tools which do not
have EC motors. They are
therefore suitable for serious
applications and enable
finishing trades such as
electricians, plumbers
and joiners to work quickly
and efficiently.
