    Bosch os common throughout Europe. In the US it probably suffers from the not invented here syndrome. Or maybe just heavy taxes, or they don’t think blue is manly enough. Who can tell?

      I don’t know how it is in Europe, but Bosch tools here are incredibly hit-or-miss between products. A driver might last five years but a jigsaw only a few weeks. I don’t know of they contract out more work than other cordless makers, but I’ve never known a major brand to have as big of a quality gradient as them.
