2. Scrape and remove paint from a window frame.
3. Make cutouts in furniture for power sockets.
4. Sand and remove paint from wooden surfaces.
12-Volt Litheon Batteries for Long-Lasting Power
The PS50-2B uses 12-Volt Max Litheon batteries with unmatched battery runtime and a 400-percent-longer lifetime than traditional lithium-ion batteries. In fact, two battery packs should allow you to perform primary applications without down-time. Litheon batteries are the most advanced lithium-ion batteries available today. They allow more battery charges and provide longer runtime without memory effect--meaning the batteries do not need to be empty before charging. The batteries can also be taken out of the charger before charging is complete.

Other benefits include: significantly less self discharge; electronic cell protection that guards against overheating, overload, and deep discharge; and no loss of power from the first to last screw or hole. Best of all, these batteries will fully charge in 30 minutes and will be at 85% capacity in just 15 minutes.

Handles a Range of Applications and Materials for True Versatility
Versatile and flexible, the PS50-2B offers corded performance for cutting, sanding, and a range of other tasks. It's suitable for use with soft wood, hardwood, metal, drywall, and plastic, and it creates less dust than most other sanders. For added convenience, when used with the adaptor, it's compatible with most accessories.

Compact, Well-Balanced Design for Easy Handling
Measuring just 10.9 by 2.32 inches (LxH) and weighing only 2.12 pounds, the PS50-2B easily fits in tight spaces and corners when sanding or cutting. The plastic nose prevents marks on work pieces, and the ergonomic design with small perimeter and front soft-grip provides comfortable handling, even if the tool grows warm.

Variable Speed and Angle Adjustment for Superior Control
The PS50-2B provides a speed range from 5,000 to 20,000 RPM that's controlled by a variable-speed dial for quick and easy speed adjustments while you're sanding.

And, for precise results, the tool holder provides variable-angle adjustment within 240 degrees.

Innovative Features for User-Friendly Operation
The PS50-2B offers a range of helpful features to keep your work going smoothly from start to finish. First, a cutting-depth scale clearly indicates cutting depth, while a flush-cutting mechanism allows you to work flush for precise angle cuts. Second, Bosch's patented play-free drive system provides precision and optimal force transmission. Third, a hole pattern lets you set the blade in 30-degree increments for optimum ergonomics. Finally, optimized tooth geometry with large gullets ensures clean cuts in the hardest of woods.

And because the PS50-2B is cordless, you can take it anywhere. With a fuel gauge that lets you know when it's time to recharge, this tool is ready when you are.

ProVantage Guarantee
The PS50-2B comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.

4 out of 5 stars Cuts well - but noisy   August 14, 2010
Robert Chapman
My initial work with this tool was completed without a problem. However when using the tool at higher speeds it is annoyingly noisy with a very loud high pitched sound. Also at high speeds it does vibrate a lot. I have not noticed a problem with battery life. Using the tool for cutting wood requires some practice and skill development but it does a good job in difficult positions and for unusual cuts.


4 out of 5 stars Bosch Multi-X   August 4, 2010
Ken Linton (New York, Dublin, London)
Excellent tool and blade family. Used it to perform fine sanding of teak brightwork on a yacht. Would buy again. In fact just bought the drill/driver. Perfect for rigging installation. Just wish that Amazon would actually stock the FL11A flash-light rather than sending customers to some other sellers site. Again, these are great products.


5 out of 5 stars small jobs   July 31, 2010
Robert A. Williams
I am impressed with it. The box has plenty of room for accessories, even has a small box in the big box for them. It is a small tool for small jobs. Like they say, use the right tool for the right job. I would not cut 4 x 4 posts with it.


4 out of 5 stars Does the job   June 12, 2010
Rick M. Platte
Works like advertised. Batteries are too short, so I took advice from a reviewer and bought the Bosch
12-volt max impact driver with two batteries. Once you get over the short learning curve, it performs
as stated. Other manufacturers blades work with it. Saved alot of time. I wish I had it a year ago.



4 out of 5 stars good for the money   May 17, 2010
E. Hays (Sherwood Ar)
a very handy tool for home handyman. I'd recommend a corded tool for the pro who'll use it steadily day in, day out (fein). Lots of uses, even trimming bushes and small limbs and battery makes it so handy. Don't know how long battery lasts as I haven't used it enough to run one down yet.
