DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
Plain, functional industrial design. Main handle has grip; the secondary handle lacks overmold, so it is more workmanlike than plush.
LONGEVITY
The corded, conventional structure and robust adjustment hardware are favorable. Check Bosch’s local exploded-parts support and keep the shoe protected from bending.
