In order to offer professionals a suitable solution without an annoying cord for every job in a workshop or on a construction site, Bosch is launching two new cordless jigsaws on the market in the Professional 18V System: the GST 18V-155 SC Professional and GST 18V-155 BC Professional for particularly precise cuts and detailed work. The tools have a cutting depth of 155 mm and are available with either a barrel grip or a bow handle (B). Thanks to modern battery technology, the new tool generation is comparable with corded tools. A brushless motor delivers high performance. Furthermore, the Professional 18V System covers all other significant 18V applications that, thanks to the multi-brand AmpShare battery alliance, go even beyond Bosch. Many brands, many tools, one battery system: All tools ‒ from compact drill drivers to miter saws with up to 2,000W of equivalent corded power ‒ can be operated with the same 18V lithium-ion battery and a single charger. Tradespeople therefore save time, space, and money.
The Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH, a division of the Bosch Group, is one of the world’s leading providers for power tools, garden tools, power tool accessories and measuring tools. In 2024, its 18,700 associates generated sales* of 5.1 billion euros, about 90 percent of which outside of Germany. With brands such as Bosch and Dremel, the division stands for customer focus and great engineering progress. The core success factors are innovative strength and pace of innovation. In 2025, Bosch Power Tools will again launch more than 100 new products onto the market in its four business segments power tools, outdoor and garden tools, accessories and measuring tools.
Due to a change in the allocation of sales within the Bosch Group, certain revenues from Bosch Power Tools will be accounted for differently in the future. As a result, sales in this division appear to have fallen significantly compared to the previous year, although there was no actual change in economic performance in this regard.
