What you need to know
What Bosch announced
Bosch announced a phased 2026 expansion covering 39 products and promoted its EXPERT 18V platform with next-generation battery technology. Current new-product listings include a 6-inch random-orbit sander and a brushless 30-degree framing nailer.
The advantages
Platform updates can give existing battery-system owners more specialized choices without starting over.
- New high-output battery options for demanding tools
- More cordless choices in sanding and fastening
- AMPShare compatibility can broaden the shared battery ecosystem
The tradeoffs
A large launch can make model selection confusing. Compare bare-tool requirements, battery recommendations, dust-control accessories and kit contents carefully; an older model on sale may still be the better value for occasional use.
