"It all started with the first demolition hammer rolled out by Bosch Power Tools way back in 1932 followed by electric hammer drill two years later and then jig saw in 1946. In its over eight decades long journey, it adopted safety advancements including rechargeable batteries in 1985, auto lock feature in 2000, and vibration control in 2001. Apart from there, the world's first lithium-ion cordless tools, Ixo, the first cordless screwdriver powered by Li-Ion technology and this was closely followed by 36 V Lithium-ion Hammer in 2005 bringing the power and performance of a corded tool. The most compact dust extraction hammer GBH 2-23 REA Professional joined the Bosch equipment list in 2007. Bosch is currently bracing for over a 100 new and innovative product launches in Asia Pacific in 2010 and majority of them will be based on our unique lithium-ion technology with unique technical upgrades solving genuine problems of our valued tool users, says Vice President Engineering, Dr Falk Herrmann.
