Bosch Introduces Impact Tough™ Accessories
|
Mount Prospect, Ill., March 26, 2010 – Bosch Power Tools and Accessories this week introduces a full range of accessory products specifically engineered to deliver outstanding performance when used with impact driving tools. Bosch’s new Impact Tough™ family of accessories is ideal for electricians, HVAC contractors, remodelers and deck builders.
 Bosch Accessories have power to spare for HVAC and Electricians Bosch will first introduce a variety of impact fastening accessories in the Impact Tough line, including:
Bosch’s Impact Tough Screwdriving Bits are built to last in demanding impact driving applications. The bits’ “torsion zone” feature absorbs torque peaks and reduces stress at the tip. The forged tip reduces breakage, which creates a clean and precise impact on the surface. And a hardened core increases the strength of the bit, reducing the chance of fracture in high-torque applications. Impact Tough Nut Setters feature larger brass N43 magnetic holders, which last longer and deliver better holding power. Bosch’s Impact Tough Sockets, meanwhile, are the only impact-rated sockets on the market that live up to the rigorous ANSI B107.2 impact standard. The sockets also support pin socket adapters and socket retainer rings. – MORE – bosch impact tough screwdriving bits \ Add One Bosch will also introduce a family of Impact Tough Hole Saws. The innovative thin-walled hole saws are designed to deliver fast, clean holes in metal cutting applications. Key features include a depth-stopping rim, which prevents breakthrough, pilot bit springs for automatic disk ejection and thin walled construction for fast, clean cutting in sheet metal. Bosch’s Impact Tough lineup will first hit stores as part of two bulk sets. A 30-piece General Purpose Impact Screw Driving Set (18 insert bits, 7 power bits, 1 bit holder, 3 nut setters and 1 socket adapter) and a 21-piece Insert Bit Set (20 insert bits and a bit holder). The Impact Tough Hole Saws will be available in various sizes early this summer. To find out more or to locate a dealer, users may visit www.boschtools.com or call 877-BOSCH-99.

Auger bit users dread few things worse than encountering nails hidden in studs, joists, or sill plates. Until now, those hidden nails typically meant two things – the end of an expensive bit and a very sore wrist at the end of the day. With the introduction of the Nailkiller™ Auger Bit this week, Bosch Power Tools & Accessories is revolutionizing the wood drilling category and virtually eliminating users’ most common pain points.
Unlike traditional auger bits, Bosch’s Nailkiller employs an innovative reinforced tip that effectively pushes hidden nails to the side when the bit makes contact and allows a more aggressive part of the bit to cut through the fasteners. The result is an auger bit that lasts, on average, nine times longer than the market leading auger bit. Independent testing of the Nailkiller bits revealed that a 1” Nailkiller bit was capable of driving through up to 301 hidden nails, versus only 33 for the current market leader, when used with a right-angle drill.
Bosch’s Nailkiller also greatly reduces the torque reaction commonly associated with hitting hidden fasteners in deep wood drilling applications. The bit’s dual cutting edges enable it to slice through hidden fasteners twice per revolution, to avoid the “kickback” experienced when drilling with an auger bit that has a single cutting edge. As a result, Nailkiller delivers 61 percent less impact force to the user when encountering a hidden fastener with a 1” auger than the leading seller (determined by independent testing). Used most commonly with a right-angle drill in tight quarters, an auger bit that delivers a significant reduction in impact force means fewer sore wrists and knuckles for the user at the end of each job.

BOSCH NAILKILLER AUGER BIT \ Add One
Another feature unique to Nailkiller is the dual-reamer-edge design that first debuted last year on Bosch’s Daredevil Spade Bits. By producing a cleaner hole, even in rough drilling applications, Nailkiller prevents splinters from piercing electrical wire housings and wood fragments from clogging conduit or water pipes with narrow inside diameters.
For added durability, Nailkiller boasts a reinforced spine that significantly improves the bit’s ability to withstand heavy-duty applications and deliver precise drilling performance job after job.
Beyond the jobsite performance enhancements, Nailkiller has one more trick hidden up its sleeve. By combining the finish quality of a spur auger with the nail-cutting toughness of a ship auger, the Bosch Nailkiller eliminates the need for two types of auger bits. The new bit delivers the best of both worlds, taking the hassle out of decision making for the end user while also easing the inventory-management lives of retailers.
Most Bosch’s Nailkiller Auger Bits utilize a 7/16” shank with power groove, which will fit any ½” corded drill, as well as impact drills equipped with quick connect chucks. Other shank sizes are available for specialty applications. Bits are available in lengths ranging from 7-1/2” to 24”, and diameters from ¼” to 1-1/2”.
The Bosch Nailkiller is now available through authorized dealers nationwide. To find out more or to find a local dealer, users may visit www.boschtools.com or call 877-BOSCH-99.
