Bosch doesnt really enter the chat in a lot of places because their range of (excellent) tools just isnt that big.

If you're looking to enter a dad dick measuring contest with your tool collection Bosch isnt going to win, I swear Ryobi is about 3 seconds from bringing out a battery powered battery.

There’s some Bosch stuff in the UK. I’m a Makita person but I recently bought a Bosch glue gun and it’s the most solid feeling glue gun I’ve ever had.

Not a professional line but I also know a few people that love the Parkside tools from Lidl, they are good value home tools so I’m told.

They exist in NA but definitely aren't as popular. The Bosch evsk1617 kit is still the best value for a larger size (not palm) router kit.

Bosch os common throughout Europe. In the US it probably suffers from the not invented here syndrome. Or maybe just heavy taxes, or they don't think blue is manly enough. Who can tell?

I've let the smoke out of a Bosch drill before, they're not that great.

Thing is I've only seen their cheap and really crappy line.

All of my DeWalt gear straight up fucks. Anything else is toys though my Incra router table swings a fat Makita and my mitering chop saw is a Rigid.

Festool is like a Porsche. They are expensive, but once you experience it you understand why they are worth that price.

I was wondering where Festool gang was at

Damn bro, we should hang. Makita dad meetup

I have a metaboHPT Brad nailer and it was absolutely the most affordable I could find outside of harbor freight level, and at the same time one of my highest quality tools. Truly a joy to use.
