In Screwfix yesterday (only out of stock on one thing, and one other that they no longer sell!)
On the counter they had an example of a new Bosch blue GWS 7 angle grinder - extra skinny, made with their "Champion" motor.
It looked quite good. Bosch blue used to have a good name. Anyone tried one? Anyone know what this Champion motor is about?
Bosch describe it as having a more efficient magnetic path, thus smaller.
I didn't get one, for two reasons - both of which made me suspect the second, not the first, has been applied here. First of all it's a pin spanner nut, not a quick-release fold-out. Secondly it's not an anti- vibration handle, so I'd still need to be sticking Armaflex to it. Also the spindle lock button looked remarkably flimsy.
I guess I'll be wanting another Metabo then, and this new blue Bosch seems to be following their 1/4" trim router resolutely downmarket.
