We recently had the opportunity to trial one of Bosch’s latest toys, the PFS 105E spray gun and it just so happened that I had the project to test it to the extreme!
My garage door is an absolute state… well it was until yesterday PM. To be fair, it was probably due for retirement BUT the current economic climate means that it’s all about preservation at the mo.
So after stripping it back to bare metal last week I got to work with the spray gun. Luckily for me the PFS 105E came with a very simple to understand/view DVD. Without it I would have probably avoided the instructions at all costs and ended up with a rainbow coloured door.

This little fella could actually save your life. A bold statement I know BUT how easy is it to start drilling away unbeknown to you that there is an electric cable just an inch away!
The Bosch PDO Multi detects water pipes, metal or wooden sub structures and obviously electrical wiring. It’s also very easy to use and understand as it has a large (and clear) display with detection settings on it. The best feature is the red/green LED display for the drill hole marking shows when and where you can drill without danger and a very useful pencil holder!

The Bosch UNEO Cordless Compact Power Drill is one of those electrical power tools that really lifts your spirits. Having struggled on for years with an inefficient, clumsy and fairly underpowered cordless drill - along comes the Bosch UNEO and saves the day.
First of all, it’s what I might call ergonomically designed. It balances pretty well in the hand and is comparatively lightweight.
Secondly, it is pretty darn powerful for a cordless drill of this size.
Thirdly, Bosch as they always do - have produced a sturdy, robust and well designed product that will probably last an absolute age. Job done, no need to buy a new drill for the next hundred years then…
Forth, it’s compact and very easy to use. So it doubles up perfectly for heavy duty hammer drilling or light touch screwing work.
Lastly, (and most importantly for me) it holds it’s charge wonderfully well - using Lithium-Ion technology in the battery.

AEG has unveiled the latest power tool in its recently relaunched range – the Ultra Compact 12v Drill Driver (BS12C).
For such a small piece of kit, this particular power tool has plenty of power and it’s compact size makes it perfect for confined areas.
AEG claim that the Drill Driver gives users the longest run time, strength and best performance of any 12v drill driver currently available on the market. Which are big plus points in my book.
