Rapitest Damp Test Meter

Good litle meter for testing damp. Ideal for personal use, probably not robust enough for builders. We are going to buy a second one for our property business.

Strong and powerful

This recently won a match up of 20 footpumps in a car magazine and it was well deserved. Give plenty of air for each press and I bought it for under £10 before the price increase.

Great bit of kit.

I got this to replace my old B&D drill, which still works, but has a very expensive bit stuck in it that will cost almost as much to get removed than a new drill! So, boo and hiss to B&D and finally a chance to buy a drill to match all of the other Bosch toys that I own and love.

Initial impressions are good: Solid contruction, very useful features, plenty of extras, decent length cord and a nice carrying case for all of your booty. Typically German.

My first job was to drill a hole through the outside wall of my house, so I put a 1000 mm SDS Bit in the drill (the chuck has to be the best design ever - No key, no messing), set it to hammer and got going. While my B&D often struggled with heavy masonry work this thing took it in it's stride and I got the job done in a jiffy. It feels really solid to use and the torque seems pretty hefty, but it is equally controllable. You can really feel the hammer doing it's job.

For serious DIY'ers who want something a cut above the average drill this is great. Since it is SDS Plus, you can even use it for chiselling tiles off of the wall etc. Comes with a chisel bit and 3 good quality masonry bits - Nice touch.

Very impressive.

Great product

Only thing I've found that actually works. Of course it's inhumane, I'm killing mice not people. Next you'll be protesting outside my barber shop. Give me a break. Kill your vermin people

A serious drill

Blows Black & Decker into the weeds. Bosch build quality is simply the best. Been using Bosch tools for over 20 years and only ever had one fail on me after an awful lot of use (an some abuse) unlike certain other makes.

The PSB 650 RE has adequate power for most DIY jobs. The hammer action is positive and the power control action is very smooth. It's easily possible to control the drill speed from 0 - 3000rpm with a squeeze of the trigger. Chuck does not require a key and clamp and release action is excellent.

The one limitation is that this drill does not drive screws. There is insufficient low speed torque for that. If you want a screwdriver, then best buy one separate.

If you need more power then you need something more than a DIY tool.

This is an excellent tool at the price.

Excellent Product

Well worth 5 stars. Considering this trimmer has 630mm blades it is very light and easy to handle. The so called collector is a bit waste of time I use mine without it. But it is a great product and is value for money.

Wow! Great Gadget!

Started my car's flat battery the first time. Makes a bit of a loud whirring sound, but over so quickly and a very small price to pay for doing such a fantastic job. Am very impressed and would most certainly recommend!

Great brand. Poor performance.

I bought this product based on the Bosch brand. However it is an insubstancial machine and the grass collection box simply does not work well. It gets clogged easily and needs constant clearing to make any progress. It works well without the collecting box but that just means extra work. As it is a Bosch it will probably last longer than my patience.

Not happy with this strimmer

I thought that all strimmers had automatic line feed - but this one doesn't and therefore is continuously running out of line and a button has to be pressed to let out more line - a real nuisance. I cannot understand why anyone would manufacture a strimmer without automatic line feed - the difference is so amazing. Also it's strimming is not as good as other strimmers I have had. I will have to buy another strimmer next time I am near a hardware shop - and then I can throw this Bosch out.

Karcherkiller step forward

An excellent product,this 1400 watt baby Bosch was easily as powerful as the 1700 watt karcher it replaced.It feels well built (in Italy) and the 6kg weight means it does'nt topple over.It comes with 3 different heads.A standard fan-jet,which is adjustable from wide to pencil.a roto-head,which is a sort of rotating pencil and my favorite the flexi-jet, whereby water comes out at 45'degrees meaning you can clean conservatory roofs or under cars or just at a sort of chisel angle on patios (u can set the angle).This machine is more than powerful enough for normal car and garden cleaning and in reasonable time frames aswell.In no way gimmicky like the £30 chain store specials this is better than entry level.I bought this on spec hoping that Bosch would come good on their reputation.They did and im very happy with my purchase!

Another B & D item that doesn't do what it says on the tin

Is it just me that finds B & D products so dismal? Every time I fall for the blurb and buy a B&D tool, I regret it almost instantly as it fails to live up to its promise. So - a lifetime promise: I will not touch a product from this company again. The strimmer? Line keeps snapping, jamming,tangling, every few seconds, not minutes. Dreadful product - no company should be allowed to market such rubbish.
