Bad button

Bought 2 of these and the button wouldn’t turn on right out of the box on both. Pretty disappointed and hope to see a model with a switch or more solid button. I overall like the design, but wish the button worked.

Powerful, light, and dust control with vacuum

Would Recommend

Works great with the HEPA vac attachment and has plenty of power for anything I've ever needed, including cutting out windows in 3/4" thick plaster. Comfortable to hold for long periods of time. No issues with runtime with any size battery,

Very Hard to Turn On

Would Not Recommend

I recently purchased this tool from Lowes, As I started using it I noticed that was very hard to turn on and off. Like I literally needed to use both thumbs to get it to turn on or off. I thought maybe I had a defective unit, so I purchased another one. Sure enough, the 2nd one I purchased has the same exact issue. I have pretty strong hands so I can tell you the issue is not with my hand strength. Very disappointed in Bosch Quality on this tool.

I use it as a trim router.

when I saw the collet came in the size for a router bit. I tried it out and it works great. so I don't need to use my big corded router So much. so happy, especially when considering the price.

A tool for any Pro Or DIYer

Would Recommend

The Bosch Cutting Rotary is a good addition to any Pro or DIYer, it has a bit of a learning curb but could be pick up fairly quick. The great bonus is it comes with the attachment for the vacuum, with that addition you are sure not to have a big mess. It has a lot of the benefits but some of the places you can use this is with drywall to make outlet box holes or door cut outs
