German powerhouse Bosch has introduced several new tools in recent months including a saw that offers great power-to-weight ratio to get the job done. 

The Bosch GSA18V-083B reciprocating saw is lightweight, coming in at 5.5 pounds with a compact length of 15-3/4 inches. Yet it still delivers an efficient 0.83-inch (21 mm) stroke at up to 3,000 strokes per minute.

The tool is designed with a variable-speed trigger so trade professionals, including electricians and carpenters, can ease into the cut and minimise kickback potential. A great choice for overhead or close-quarters cutting jobs, this reciprocating saw provides the advantages of an easy blade-change system, low-vibration, and an LED light.

The saw’s economical .83-inch (21 mm) stroke length means optimum material removal per stroke and less vibration, making it ideal for cutting conduit and pipe. It provides an ergonomically shaped handle with a soft-grip zone to ensure a secure hold and minimised user fatigue.

The Bosch GSA18V-083 reciprocating saw features the Lockjaw blade holder and the Bosch Electronic Motor Protection (EMP) system. 

Other new launches include the Bosch 12” and 14” Premium Segmented Rim Diamond Blades which deliver fast, efficient cutting in concrete and other hard materials thanks to a tensioned blade core and a high-quality diamond formulation. The tensioned steel core is engineered with an innovative process that ensures each blade delivers smooth cuts with low vibration to reduce blade wobble.

Also launched is the Bosch Starlock family of oscillating multi-tools and accessories. 

The Starlock oscillating tool interface system is built around an innovative three-dimensional interface created for high torque transfer and superior performance in the most challenging applications. The interface system was jointly developed by oscillating tool market leaders Bosch and Fein. In addition, the life of each Starlock oscillating tool model is maximised by allowing it to accept only the accessories that are suited for it.
