It is designed with spiral bevel gears that provide smooth transmission of power to grinding applications. It also features an adjustable tool-free guard and an updated gearhead mounting collar, which is now compatible with all Bosch metal and concrete guards. This tool features a two-position side handle, slim soft-grip design and spindle lock. The kit includes a next-gen CORE18V® 4 Ah Advanced Power Battery, which delivers 2x the runtime compared to previous generation BAT612 2 Ah battery.
