Great for those awkward jobs you just cannot seem to get to. I have used similar Dremel tool but the cordless Bosch gives more freedom - therefore more options and flexibility. Additions are great and definitely recommended as a supporting purchase.

Used it farely frequently but it does same time and energy. Great for getting olives off copper pipework and very useful for cutting plastice pipework and guttering. Lots of uses and really wish I'd bought before. ALso I already have lots of Bosch 10.8/12v tools for no need for batteries this time. Campbell Miller, used quite a few times.

Functionality:Working as expectedQuality:GoodThe Rotary tool is working as expected. Hopefully it will last long.

Bosch Professional GRO 12V-35 10.8v / 12v Cordless Rotary Tool Body Only 06019C5000

Very good so far, after killing 4 dremels over the years I thought I would try this. Quality seems very good, release lock button for the shaft is recessed which keeps you from pressing it accidentally and damaging it. Run time on a 3ah is a reasonable and useful time even at full speed. When battery get low it stops, I mean by that it gives full spin speed rather than slowing down as power reduces. Seems a well built product, very happy with it.

Excellent addition to the toolkit

Overall, I’m very pleased with this product. It’s well made and easy to use and is, of course, fully compatible with the wide range of Dremel accessories (Dremel being a Bosch owned brand). Already I have used the GRO12v-35 for more odd jobs than I originally envisaged when purchasing it. Being solidly made, it’s not a lightweight tool and I suspect it would need a bigger, stronger hand than mine to use it with a pen grip for any length of time, but holding it with a barrel grip is easy. Position of controls and speed range are excellent.The only missing feature, the addition of which would have taken my overall rating to 5 stars, is Bosch Constant Electronic which maintains constant speed under load.If you already have Bosch Professional 12v tools, this is a well ... MoreOverall, I’m very pleased with this product.

Great tool for the price

Don't normally give reviews or shop with Axminster but I have to say this tool was awesome for the price which was very competitive and was delivered promptly with no fuss and packed well. All in all a very enjoyable and streamlined experience and no' I don't work for them ha ha. Well done Axminster expect my business in the future. Thank you.

Its a no-brainer.

All I can say is, Its about time Bosch! Why it took them so long to add this tool to the 12v Max lineup is bewildering to me but its better late than never. My cordless field kit is finally complete. Wait! Ill probably want the brushless one when they finally get around to it. But its not worth waiting 5 or more years.

Review of Bosch GRO12V-35 Body Only 12V Rotary Tool in Carton

Excellent tool, easy to use and works with my old 10.8v batteries as well as my newer 12v batteries.

Unbeatable

Bosch own Dremel. This is a Bosch professional power tool, rated for continuous use. It shares many components of the top Dremel cordless modals and will accept the Dremel accessories. It is incredibly versatile in that the speed control is so good, motor has got endless torque. At high revs this thing cuts straight through steel like a mini angle grinder. Not so good for really fine work as it is a bit of a lump, but I did not buy it for fine work. I only had to buy the body as I already have Bosch 10.8 batteries and chargers for drills etc. The build quality is typical Bosch Pro. Solid as granite. Soft grips make it nice to hold and control, buttons etc are all in the right place, so a very nice tool to wield and use. Battery lasts forever, clearly not pulling ... MoreBosch own Dremel.

Works exactly as promised, no problem with heat, vibration or noise. Finally this is what I would call a luxury tool. You can get by without one but it is very nice to have.

Usual great quality Bosch Professional

Usual great quality Bosch Professional product. Batteries last a good length of time and works with both my older 10.8V ones and newer 12V ones too. Easy to use and comfortable in the hand. Quick and efficient service from Axminster and great price too. Many thanks.
