Yup, they have that long long time ago. Its called corded tools

I dunno its bearing or not, seems like the motor and fan housing has build up a resonance when running.
I don't remember having that resonance last time.
At first I was thinking maybe its the dust buildup at the fan blade that cause it, but the sound still there after I clean up the blade.

How much would it costs to replace the bearing of a 1hp motor? I doubt that motor is actually 1hp, I check power consumption of the motor using power meter and it only shows 300w.

For the hydroshot weight, the combination I use this morning long nozzle weights 1.6kg including 2AH battery. I did not include the weight of the pipe that dips into the water pail.

anyone got extra bosch AL 1860 CV charger to let go?

it does take some time to charge 7 batteries with only 1 charger. LOL

2in1 function ma.

This repairing got to DIY. Bearing doesn't cost much. Get the bearing no. and you can buy. Not more than RM30/pcs. (depending size and maker)

The motor with an empty run should run very less watt. Probably less than 1/2 the max motor watt. If it show near max watt, than something mechanical wrong that create resistance.

DIY the battery.

Buying another 2 battery is killing with the price.

I open up the motor and discover the screw that locks the fan has gone loose. Tighten the fan screw and the motor runs quiet now.
Lucky no big repair required.
I have a feeling the srew will get loose again 6 months later...



For the hydroshot, I am thinking of making an adapter for makita or bosch battery. hmm...

a dash of loc-tite will surely help

if cant find it, just smear some oil-based paint on the thread. it will serve as a "lock"

The impeller vibration probably loose out the screw. No proper balancing.

You can use lucifah way to add loctite to the screw.

Or tap another screw hole 90deg to the existing tap hole.

Ok, will try to find a loc-tite and do it on the next maintenance. Lazy to take down the motor and dismantle now.

Finally arrived!

Box looks like kena raped by custom liao





Inside got another box




Really bare tool, with the depth ruler & cleaning cloth (was expecting they include in the auto-lock chuck inside too... haihs). and not even l-boxx in-lay




Tried with 4.0ah battery. it was designed for 6.3ah battery (they wont ship li-ion batteries so i can't buy the full set)




Last, made in germany

Wahhhh made in Germany. Syiok.

Why they stick a Lithium battery caution but no battery inside?

i honestly have no idea. LOL

i was expecting maybe a free battery inside, but nada

rm 1.8k for a bare tool, i must be crazy. LOL

i think all boschammer are made in germany

oh, btw, shoppee bosch official store no longer provide cheap shipping for l-boxx

haiya... the seller notified me that shoppee has asked them to re-valuate their postage by volumetric weight, not actual weight

rm1.8k consider as an investment lo...you do 1 small job already roi

lucky i had stock up enough from previous sales. current sales is 10% without max cap, so it's good to purchase high price item with current discount.

just a side note to all bosch's fan..

all heavy duty range from Bosch will increase price next month. 8% - 10%. they will also launch few new cordless item ;

1. New GSA 18v-32 Saber saw
2. New GSR 18v EC drill driver ( with metal chuck ) - some dealer already has this.
3. New GSB 18v EC hammer drill ( with metal chuck ) - ready stocks in bosch warehouse. will release it dealer next month
4. New GKS 18v circular saw ( to replace existing local model, left handed to right handed model )
5. New GST 18v jigsaw
6. Reintroduce 10.8v/12v 4.0ah battery in MY. Penang factory allocated the current batch for local market. Previous all batches supplied all to oversea ( very high demand therefore abandon MY market )

i think it's going to be the GSB18v-26 EC. a very powerful impact drill driver that can almost do double duty as a boschammer. it's quite pricey in europe. around rm 2.5k

glad that they are allocating more high cap batteries for malaysian market. it's crazy cos those batts are made in malaysia, and we malaysians can't get the high caps like 5.0a/6.0a 18V and the latest and very powerful 6.3a CORE 18V

edit: oh, i am waiting for 18v LED lamp from bosch in malaysia. the GLI18 & GLI-VariLED is kinda interesting, though pricey (based on amazon price, RM300+ and rm100+ respectively)

lol, no jalan to buy good deals charger ah?

core 18v battery won't be available here so soon.

18v led is also one of the new item to be launch here...not sure which model but definitely not the GLI Variled model. It's either GLI18v 1900 ( swiveling stand ) or GLI 18v - 300 ( look like the robot leg one..).

he no need to buy at discounted price....he is taukeh besar engineering company. the stack of cash next to his new toy already can buy him few charger money d
