Bosch have been working on the connectivity features in their ToolBox App for quite a while. Let's have a look at the current features and the idea behind the connectivity of Simply Connected power tools.

Ways to connect

The new Bosch Simply Connected tools have the feature to connect to the Bosch ToolBox App on your smart phone where you can manage them (and much more) all from one place. Connection is achieved through the low energy Bluetooth connection via either the tool's built in connectivity or plug-in, GCY 30-4 connectivity module.

We have another competition for our subscribers and customers! We’re looking for people with the ‘DIY Factor’ to send us a short video of a handy hint or power tool review that we can share with our customers.

THE MORE CREATIVE, FUN & QUIRKY THE BETTER!

Bosch Professional has changed the product name of 10.8V power tools, batteries and chargers to 12V. Therefore the full 10.8V Bosch Professional assortment has changed successively to 12V as of January 2017.

The ’12’ in the tool name represents the maximum battery voltage of 12 Volt and replaces the current product name with 10.8 Volt which stands for the average battery voltage. In North America the 12V product name is already implemented by Bosch Professional. Also other players in the market follow the 12V tool labelling globally. To ensure a better guidance as well as a better comparability for our users, Bosch Professional adapts to the 12V product name worldwide beginning from January 2017 onwards.
