Universal but not omnipotent
The Bosch company is known for the high quality of its power tools, which are widely used in roofing, construction and installation, repair and auto-locksmith works. Bosch metal shears is a versatile handheld power tool designed for working with flat and profiled sheets of steel of all grades, aluminum and other metals, painted, galvanized and conventional - without additional protective coating.
The company produces household and professional tools. The first is distinguished by its compactness, low own weight, but relatively low productivity and operating speed. Household models are not designed for intensive or long-term continuous work, while professional ones are designed for continuous use without interruptions for a long time. But often it is a rather cumbersome and inconvenient tool, rather heavy and large.
Several myths
Despite the fact that every manufacturer, as well as every seller, supplier, distributor, dealer - in general, any person interested in sales volumes - assures of high productivity, speed of work, unpretentiousness, reliability, durability and other high operational epithets, the tool Bosch is a hand held power tool. This means that its productivity in metal cutting is limited and not comparable to that of industrial machines.
On the pages of adequate online stores and information resources, for example, www.gtool.ru , even no attempt is made to convince the reader of the versatility of the equipment. The scope of application is clearly indicated: construction, repair, installation, in extreme cases - small-scale production.
Common classification
The main types of scissors produced by the company:
- sheet - for cutting metal sheets. The cutting element is two knives: the lower one is fixed on the bracket, and the upper one moves up and down. Adjustment for cutting a material of a given thickness is made by selecting the distance between the knives;
- slotted - for making holes in metal workpieces. They are widely used for laying ventilation elements, air conditioning systems;
- nibbling - for curly (according to a template) and straight cutting of metal, flat and profiled metal sheets. The cutting element is a punch moving up and down and cutting through the material of the workpiece.
The tool should be handled with extreme care: it can withstand a small fall from a height, light impacts when wearing, but falling from a roof - even a cottage - will certainly damage it.
