“This year, we’ve expanded our cordless product portfolio across numerous trade industries in an effort to meet the demands of every hard worker putting in hours on the jobsite,” said Philipp Gosau, Regional Portfolio Owner for Bosch Power Tools North America. “Our latest tools, including the 18V Cordless Palm Router, Angle Grinders, a new generation of interior leveling lasers, and brand-first products like the hand tool utility knife collection and 18V Press Tool Kits, offer features like durability, ergonomic designs, and powerful brushless motor technology, ensuring workers can tackle every task with confidence.”

To commemorate the latest product launch, the global leader in power tools, measuring tools, and accessories held an exclusive reveal event in Rosemont, Illinois, inviting participants from all over the country for a first look at the new tools in the brand’s Chicagoland backyard. In addition to product demonstration stations and onsite talks with the company’s product managers and executives, the event featured a live Q&A session, photos, and autographs with Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series MVP Ben Zobrist.
