New Bosch 18V Tools for Concrete and Woodworking: 10 Releases Worth a Look

Introduction

Bosch has long been one of the names people reach for first when the job involves concrete, and its latest wave of cordless releases shows the company pushing hard on both sides of the trade. From demolition and cutting to finish carpentry and layout, the new lineup covers demolition hammers, cut-off saws, circular and reciprocating saws, a jigsaw, an oscillating multi-tool, a mud mixer, a palm router, a biscuit joiner, and a laser level.

This roundup walks through the ten standout releases, what each one is built for, and what they cost at launch.

Bosch 18V SDS Max Demolition Hammer

Leading the concrete side is the Bosch 18V SDS Max demolition hammer, a serious cordless breaker for anyone doing slab work, chipping, or tile removal. It is currently listed as a special-order item, priced at $649.

As with most demolition hammers in this class, the appeal is simple: real breaking performance without a cord or a compressor. If your days involve concrete removal, this is the headline tool of the batch.

Bosch 9in 18V Brushless Cut-Off Saw

Next up is the 9-inch 18V brushless cut-off saw, and it makes a strong first impression in person. It is available two ways: tool only for $599, or in a kit with two 12.0 Ah batteries and a charger plus a soft case for $949. Both configurations are available for order now.

For contractors who already run Bosch 18V batteries, the kit route makes sense for all-day cutting; the tool-only option suits anyone with batteries on hand.

Bosch ProFactor 18V 7-1/4in Rear Handle Circular Saw

The Bosch ProFactor 18V 7-1/4 inch rear handle circular saw is priced at $249 for the tool only. Rear handle framing saws have become the default choice for many carpenters because of their balance and line of sight, and this one brings Bosch’s ProFactor platform into that space.

It is aimed squarely at framers and remodelers who want cordless cutting power without giving up the familiar rear-handle grip.

Bosch 18V 1-1/4in Reciprocating Saw

The new 18V 1-1/4 inch reciprocating saw comes in at $249 for the bare tool. Recip saws are the demolition workhorse of any kit, handling pipe, studs, and general teardown, and this one slots into the existing Bosch 18V system.

A 1-1/4 inch stroke length is a solid middle ground for both wood demolition and metal cutting, making this an easy add for anyone already invested in the platform.

Bosch 18V Top Handle Jigsaw

The new Bosch 18V top handle jigsaw is $119 for the bare tool. That is an approachable entry point for a cordless jig saw, and the top-handle format remains the traditional favorite for controlled curved cuts.

Whether you are cutting sink openings, curves in decking, or joinery blanks, this is one of the more affordable new Bosch releases in the batch.

Bosch 18V StarlockPlus Oscillating Multi-Tool 2Ah Kit

The 18V StarlockPlus oscillating multi-tool kit comes in at $219 and includes a 2.0 Ah battery. StarlockPlus accessory mounting is one of the better interface designs in the category, with strong blade contact and low vibration.

Specs worth noting include a top speed of up to 20,000 oscillations per minute and an improved 3.4 degree cutting angle, both of which help with flush cutting and plunge cuts in tight spots. This is a good first multi-tool for anyone in the Bosch 18V ecosystem.

Bosch 18V Brushless Half-Inch Chuck Mud Mixer

Bosch also showed a new 18V brushless mud mixer with a half-inch chuck, rated at 660 RPM. Detailed specifications were thin at launch, but the concept is clear: mixing mud, mortar, and similar materials on site without dragging out a corded mixer.

If you spend time on drywall or masonry work, it is worth keeping an eye on this one as more details surface.

Bosch 18V Brushless Colt Palm Router

Bosch is clearly stepping up its woodworking push, and the 18V brushless Colt palm router is a good example. The bare tool is $219, and the box includes a few accessories such as an edge guide and dust collection fittings.

Specs include 1.39 peak horsepower and a speed range of 10,000 to 30,000 RPM, which covers everything from light edge profiling to hinge mortising. Cordless palm routers are a convenience upgrade for trim carpenters, and the included edge guide is a practical touch.

Bosch 18V Biscuit Joiner

The new 18V biscuit joiner is $269 as a bare tool. Biscuit joiners divide opinion: some woodworkers use them constantly for panel alignment and face-frame joinery, while others skip them entirely.

If you are in the camp that reaches for one regularly, having a cordless version in the Bosch 18V line is a genuine convenience, especially for on-site case work where a cord and outlet are a hassle.

Bosch 12V Leveling and Alignment Laser

You cannot talk about Bosch without talking about lasers, and the new 12V leveling and alignment laser is priced at $579. Bosch effectively helped define this market, and many competitors have followed its lead.

The headline feature is a bright green beam that projects up to four times brighter than a standard red beam, which matters a lot on bright job sites and at longer distances. For layout work in concrete, framing, and interiors, this is the kind of tool that earns its keep daily.

Other New Bosch Releases Worth Noting

Beyond these ten, Bosch’s booth had plenty more: new blowers, crimpers, and nailers, including an 18-gauge brad nailer, a narrow crown stapler, and 16-gauge finish nailers. There were also new grinders, band saws, impact wrenches, a concrete saw, and more. The message is clear: whatever your trade, there is new Bosch gear to look at.

Overall Buying Advice

If you work in concrete, the SDS Max demolition hammer and the 9-inch cut-off saw are the heavy hitters, and the kit version of the cut-off saw is worth considering if you do not already own 12.0 Ah batteries. For carpenters, the rear handle circular saw, Colt palm router, and biscuit joiner round out a credible cordless woodworking set, with the $119 jigsaw as the easiest entry point. And if layout accuracy is your daily grind, the green-beam laser is the standout of the group.

Conclusion

Bosch’s latest releases cover a lot of ground, from breaking concrete to trimming hardwood, and most of the lineup is available to order now. Match the tool to the work you actually do, and there is a good chance at least one of these belongs in your rotation.
