Written on, 14:32 o’clockHi, I really appreciate forums like this. I have also got a PST54E, and am struggling to fit a blade. It irks me that it's hard to find information about a top end tool such as a Bosch. I appreciate that tools evolve, but it would be useful to have an archive with manuals etc available, as a quality tool lasts decades, and is worth quality support.

Sorry about this, end of rant (just to add though, I have also a Black and decker jigsaw of similar age, inferior in quality and design, which I am using while my nicer Bosch sits in a drawer because a. The method of fitting a blade is obvious, b, it takes widely available blades).My question, can somebody tell me what blades are suitable for the PST 54E?

Bosch Power4All Cordless Platform Bosch Power4All ToolsThe Power4All system is a cordless lithium ion battery platform that spans the Bosch and product ranges. With the announcement of their upgraded 12v system, we take a look at the options available on the market today, and the advantages of the technology built into them.As you may be aware, Bosch split their power tool ranges into two main product groups: Blue – Professional, and Green – for the home consumer market. The Green product group includes DIY power tools, which can be identified by their green & red colour scheme, and garden power tools, which are usually more of a turquoise colour (there are also products that don’t quite fit into either category, like cordless vacuum cleaners, radios and Bluetooth speakers). While tools from the Bosch Blue range have to be built to withstand daily abuse in industrial environments, the Green ranges are built to a lighter duty specification and hence come with a much lower price tag, making them an attractive option for users such as homeowners, DIYers and weekend woodworkers. Combined with Bosch’s enviable reputation for engineering prowess, this has resulted in Bosch Green tools occupying a premium position in the home & garden sector for decades. Power4All batteries can be used to power cordless vacuum cleaners like the.Power4All is a relatively recent addition to the Green product group, and is a lithium ion battery platform that spans 10.8v, 18v, and now 12v cordless tools.

As with other battery platforms, the batteries and chargers are designed to be interchangeable with tools in the range as long as they correspond to the same voltage. However, the good news for everyone who has already invested in 10.8v Power4All tools is that the new 12v range is backwards compatible with the 10.8v range – that is, all 10.8v batteries and chargers can be used with the 12v machines and vice versa. The very simple reason for this is that the batteries and chargers are actually still exactly the same! In America, where power tool manufacturers usually label their batteries according to peak voltage, Bosch have always marketed their 10.8v range as 12v, and to achieve greater international consistency, they have decided to rebrand their European 10.8v range as 12v as well. So while this will have no doubt caused some confusion at first, eventually all the existing 10.8v tools will be phased out or rebadged as part of the Power4All 12v system.So the Power4All user essentially has a choice between 12v and 18v platforms. The 18v machines offer a good balance of power and runtime while the 12v machines deliver less power but with the advantage that they are smaller, lighter, and less physically demanding, making them ideal for lighter duty tasks and situations such as working overhead or in cramped conditions.

Syneon Inside The Syneon chip is an energy management component that helps to maximize runtime.Something common to all new tools (and many pre-existing tools) on both platforms is the inclusion of what Bosch call a. This is an integrated circuit which provides an intelligent battery management function; it monitors load conditions on the tool and ensures that energy is delivered when it is needed (for example when driving larger screws or sawing through dense wood) but also conserved during less demanding applications.

As well as providing a boost in performance when needed, this helps to minimize unnecessary energy drain and ultimately provides the user with longer runtime per battery charge. For example, in tests by an independent laboratory the Bosch PSR 18 LI-2 Drill Driver was found to drive on average 20% more screws or drill 37% more holes per charge than market alternatives. As well as this respectable margin of endurance, the Syneon chip also ensures that performance remains constant right up until the point that the battery is discharged, rather than the gradual slowdown that can signify battery drain in many other cordless tools. Electronic Cell ProtectionElectronic Cell Protection, or ECP for short, is another Bosch technology built into Power4All tools which helps to maximize the usable lifetime of the attached batteries.

Based around subverting three damaging conditions that can affect lithium ion batteries – overload, overheating and deep discharge, the ECP system automatically shuts the tool down if it detects the battery is becoming overloaded or overheated and ensures that the battery cannot reach a critical level of discharge. All of this helps to keep Power4All batteries performing at their best for longer. Power4All WarrantyOne of the other advantages of the Bosch Power4All range is that unlike the standard one year warranty offered by many other tools intended for the home & garden market, they carry a three year guarantee if registered with Bosch after purchase (though note that as DIY tools this does not cover professional or commercial use).

New ToolsAmongst long term stalwarts of the range and best sellers like the, and, there have been a number of new and innovative tools added to the lineup over the course of the last year or so.First of all, Bosch debuted some power tool technology that had never been seen before when they introduced the Nanoblade in 2017; essentially a miniaturised chainsaw which was developed to assist with easy to control, vibration free sawing. Amongst the first three tools to be equipped with this feature was the, part of the new 12v Power4All range.

Occupying a sort of middle ground between the garden and DIY ranges, this innovative little tool is ideal for pruning branches in the garden as well as assisting with woodworking and DIY tasks, where the reduced vibration makes it an easier to control alternative to tools such as jigsaws or reciprocating saws. The.Also appearing in 2017, the is the first of its kind in the Green range.

A 125mm (5”) machine with variable speed control, a soft start motor and rapid action brake, this tool enables Power4All users to accomplish a variety of cutting, grinding and wire brushing tasks without being tethered to a power lead, making it perfect for working outdoors, while up a ladder, or in any other situation where a cable might get in the way.Bosch are well known for their oscillating multi tools and both the 10.8v and 18v Power4All ranges are represented in this context by the & respectively. The 10.8v machine has a slimline form factor and is perfect for precision tasks, while the larger 18v tool includes an LED light strip for improved visibility and an anti-vibration auxiliary handle for maximum control. The has a unique design and is one of the most technologically advanced machines in the Power4All range.The cordless combi drill, a staple tool of DIYers everywhere, has also been the focus of the Bosch engineering and design teams recently. The result, the, is a decidedly futuristic looking machine which is intended to provide better ergonomics (hence the name) while offering additional technology more commonly found on Professional grade tools: this includes a brushless motor, constant electronic speed regulation, and a kickback control system for user protection against high torque reactionary forces (in the event of a bit or accessory jamming). The PSB 18 LI-2 also has a base mounted worklight which ensures illumination of the work area is not obstructed by the chuck. Power for EveryoneOf course, this is just a small selection of the Power4All range. Whether you’re a homeowner, keen gardener or dedicated DIYer, Bosch have got a multitude of cordless tools to suit your requirements and the range is always expanding.

To make it easier to see what’s available, we have a dedicated Power4All category on our website (currently 18v only) which is regularly updated with new releases and special offers.Do you have a favourite tool in the Power4All range?

Hi Nigel, I’m afraid I’m not too sure. Had a quick look on the internet and there seem to be a number of different views on whether it’s a good idea to leave a lithium ion battery on a charger or not. I always instinctively disconnect them once they’re charged but the manual for the 1815 CV, 1830 CV & 1880 CV seems to suggest that you can leave a battery in one of these chargers and keep it fully charged ready for use. It’s probably best to contact Bosch technical support for clarification or advice on your specific equipment (there’s a Contact option at ). Hi there,First, thanks for this very thru in depth presentation of Bosch cordless tools.I have some Bosch corded and cordless tools and recently I wanted to go cordless all the way 🙂My question is I have this PSB 18V Li (1, I suppose, from 2013.) it’s now Li-2 a little bit different on photos, are they compatible? Say I buy one or two of these Power4All 18V Li-2 tools will they be interchangeable with my PSB?Also, these blue and green 18V batteries interchangeable? Then I can mix and match pro and DIY tools and that would be perfect!

Hi Sinan, thanks for reading the blog. I’ll start with your second question as that’s easier to answer but I’m afraid it’s probably not the answer you want! Unfortunately although the Bosch Green and Blue 18v ranges use similar batteries, they are not cross-compatible. (You can, however use Power4All batteries on all Green DIY or Garden tools, as mentioned in the article). With regards to your drill, I can’t find much info on that model but as long as it uses Power4All 18v lithium ion batteries you’ll be able to use the current generation of Power4All batteries with it. However, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade may be required depending on the age of the one that came with your machine.
