Bosch GSR 120-LI Drill / Driver @ Builders Warehouse
At our DIY Divas workshops we look at the Bosch power tool range in great detail. The Bosch green tool range offers the best value for money all round if you're looking for quality tool for your DIY projects and home improvement tasks. Having used Bosch power tools at our workshops for the past 14 years, we can most definitely recommend these tools for every DIY enthusiasts.
While Bosch green power tools are top of the range for the home DIY enthusiast, Bosch blue power tools offer even more value for money if you can pick these up on special offer. The Bosch blue range of tools is designed for small to medium contractors, and as such have to be up to the job. So it's great when we come across a special for Bosch blue tools where the home DIY enthusiasts can not only save money, but also invest in a tool that will last far longer. The Bosch GSR 120-LI Professional Drill / Driver is one of those tools.
We have put together a comparison between the Bosch blue drill / driver shown above and the Bosch green EasyDrill 1200. When you compare the technical data for these two drill / drivers you will notice no difference between the two other than the price difference. I've also included a video below that offers more information on the Bosch GSR 120-LI Professional Drii / driver.
