Bosch’s BruteTough™ Story Gets Even Better with Launch of Second-Generation Tools:
New tools run longer, drive faster and take more punishment!
Mount Prospect, Ill., February 6, 2008 –
The Bosch Brute Tough™ family of cordless hammer drills and drill drivers became a toolbox staple following its launch in 2002.
The complete second-generation BruteTough lineup includes:
* 15618 18V hammer drill/Driver
* 15614 14.4V Hammer Drill/Driver
* 35618 18V Drill/Driver * 35614 14.4V Drill/Driver
Professional craftsmen, initially drawn in by Bosch’s legendary Drop Zone demos, grew to depend on the tools’ industry-leading performance, game-changing durability and outstanding battery quality. This year, Bosch Power Tools and Accessories adds a new and ever more impressive chapter to the story with the debut of four new products bearing the BruteTough name. Built around Bosch’s jobsite proven BlueCore™ Ni-Cad battery platform, the second-generation BruteTough products illustrate the company’s continuing commitment to producing top-notch products specifically designed to meet the needs of end-users.
“BruteTough isn’t just a brand name for Bosch,” says product manager Andrew Cho. “To earn the BruteTough label, a cordless tool has to be tougher, faster, longer lasting. This is a distinction we take very seriously.”
The new Bosch BruteTough lineup features tools purpose-built not only to outperform their predecessors, but also to outperform the competition. The 15618 18V BruteTough hammer drill/driver, for example, runs 500 RPM faster, delivers 50 in/lbs more torque and offers a two-times increase in BPM compared to the Bosch 13618-2G it replaces. Compared to the competition, Bosch’s 15618 drills up to 35 percent faster in wood and up to 63 percent faster in masonry, concrete and sheet metal – all while the patented BlueCore battery pack gives users up to 89 percent more run time. The other three tools in the BruteTough family deliver similar class-by-class comparisons.
The secret? The heart of the BruteTough story has always been in the engineering, and Bosch’s exemplary design standards remain at the forefront on the second-generation tools. All metal planetary gears withstand even the most rigorous operating conditions. Unibody construction maintains alignment between clutch, gear train and motor for the most durable drivetrain system on the market. Bosch’s well-known DuraShield™ housing, combined with an intelligently designed battery-to-tool interface and a new metal collar around the chuck assembly, ensure that these tools – like their predecessors – can withstand real-world punishment and continue to deliver trouble-free service.
Additional performance enhancing features include a new ½” metal chuck design that provides a 25 percent increase in grip force. BruteTough tools now offer 25 clutch settings – the most in the market – and a two-speed gearbox for precise power control in any situation. And Bosch’s BlueCore batteries, standard equipment on all BruteTough tools, utilize a patented self-cooling design to maximize both run time and battery life.
Beyond performance and durability, Bosch built its BruteTough tools to offer industry-leading user comfort. The second generation BruteTough tools feature ergonomically designed hand grips with finger supports, durable padded grip surfaces and outstanding balance to maximize control and comfort.
All BruteTough tools come with two batteries, a 30-minute charger, 360-degree adjustable side handle and durable carrying case. Additional included accessory items vary by model.
