Executive Summary about : 18v Cordless Drill by www.boschtools.com | Press Release ( 11/4/2008 )
New Litheon cordless tools feature best-in-class runtime and performance.
With best-in-class runtime (up to 50% more than the competition), battery life and performance, Bosch’s Litheon cordless system is winning converts worldwide. Bosch is now broadening its successful cordless tool lineup with the addition of two new cordless saws.
The first addition to Bosch’s 18V Litheon family of tools is the CCS180 Circular Saw. Bosch has also added the CRS180 Reciprocating Saw to its 18V Litheon lineup. With two speed settings and a sensitive variable speed trigger, the CRS180 offers users an operating range of 0 - 2,400 and 0 - 2,700 RPM.
At the heart of both tools is Bosch’s Litheon lithium-ion battery technology. Bosch is so confident in its Litheon system that it backs the platform with the industry’s best cordless system protection plan - the Provantage 3-year Tool Protection Plan and 2-year battery replacement plan.
Bosch’s new CCS180 Circular Saw and CRS180 Reciprocating Saw will be available nationwide in December 2008.
