Know the Color Code
Blue tools are professional grade with better components and longer warranties. Green tools are DIY-focused and more affordable. Pick based on how often you will use the tool.
Focus on Corded for Woodworking
Bosch excels at corded woodworking tools like sanders, routers, and jigsaws. These are often a better value than their cordless lineup and deliver consistent, reliable performance.
Check Battery Compatibility
Make sure you are buying into the right battery platform. Blue 18V professional tools and green 18V DIY tools use different batteries. Mixing platforms will get expensive fast.
Look for Click & Go Features
Many Bosch tools integrate with their Click & Go storage system and accessories. These modular solutions make organization and accessory swaps much easier.
Register for Warranty
Blue pro tools come with a 1-year warranty, green DIY tools with 2 years. Register your purchase online to activate coverage and track your tools.
