With the new EasyInflate 18V-500 cordless volume pump from Bosch, nothing stands in the way of a day at the lake or the next camping vacation. Large-volume sports and leisure equipment such as air mattresses, inflatable boats, paddling pools, pool toys, and exercise balls can be inflated quickly and conveniently with the EasyInflate 18V-500. The model is the first cordless volume pump in Bosch’s range of cordless air pumps. While the EasyPump and UniversalPump 18V pneumatic pumps are capable of providing plenty of pressure to inflate small-volume objects such as soccer balls, bicycle tires, or car tires, volume pumps like the EasyInflate 18V-500 are designed for large-volume objects that do not require as much air pressure. The EasyInflate 18V-500 is part of the ‘18V Power for All System’. The ‘18V Power for All System’ also covers all representative tools in each segment, currently comprises about 60 DIY tools, gardening tools, and home appliances, and even extends beyond the Bosch range with additional partners in the cross-brand ‘Power for All Alliance’. All tools – from rotary hammer to lawn mower and even vacuum cleaner – can be operated with the same 18V lithium-ion battery and only one charger. This saves users space and money and protects the environment.
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.
