Bosch Litheon 36V Brute D,D+HD

ClaysWorld | Posted in Tools for Home Building on December 17, 2006 07:23am

First I’ve seen  it advertised.

New Mag came yesterday, Qualified Remodeler.

In the back(pg43) showing new goodies Shows the B, It says flexible power system compatible????????

This is the second time I see something on the new stuff, and that’s a long second. The first was the 36v hammer drill.

Anybody know what the flexible power system compatible means?

    Ok your all to slow.

    I went to the bosch site and it shows the drills, and it has a pretty good offer for a free battery.

    Also it show 2 different types of 36v battery, take a look.

    Here's the blurb from Bosch, for those adverse to following up on the link:

    --"Flexible Power System - Match battery to application SlimPack for 36V power, less than 14.4V weight. FatPack for 36V power and maximum runtime."

    1. ClaysWorld | Dec 17, 2006 07:52pm | #3

      So here goes for the first deal on bosch stuff.

      I went to the B site and it shows dealers/where to buy but amazon doesn't have it yet so here's one http://www.burnstools.com/default.aspx?page=item%20detail&itemcode=BOS3863601

      So for 400 you can get it with the 2 slim line batts and the free offer from B for a fat or skinny batt. A little pricey but if your ready to jump to the new stuff it would do.

      Plus this is the new format. I wonder if they'll have a combo pack soon? Santa can you hear me.

        Santa I'm getting excited now. From the site that I will include after the Quote from the release.

        New 36-volt tools include a one-inch Bulldog¯ rotary hammer in early 2006, followed by a drill/driver, hammer drill/driver, reciprocating saw, circular saw and more near the end of the year. A 10.8-volt Pocket Driver and 10.8-volt I-Driver will also launch in early 2006, followed by more tools later in the year.

            I wouldn't mind a bosch36v system.

            Amazing how small and powerful the new batt systems are getting.

            Yea you got it. Kinda like when sharks Start circling the new cordless. =spending frenzy. But it's warranted for 3 years, so just think of all the money I'll be saving. Plus when you start clicking the add to cart button it just gets ? well addictive.
