Tools for Specialized Applications
The new additions to the Bosch lineup include:

PRO 18V Rebar Cutter (GBC18V-32)

• Fast, High-Capacity Cutting: Brushless motor delivers the equivalent of 13 Amps of corded power, cutting #5 rebar in just two seconds and handling rebar up to #10 (1-1/4 in.).
• Cold-Cutting Technology: Tungsten carbide-tipped blade produces clean, burr-free cuts with significantly fewer sparks than traditional abrasive cutting methods.
• Designed for Control: A rotatable handle supports cutting from multiple orientations, while KickBack Control, a convenience brake and no lock-on paddle switch provide added user control.

PRO 18V Pencil Vibrator (GVC18V-25-120D)

• Cordless Mobility: Cordless design eliminates the restrictions of extension cords and fumes from gas-powered units, helping users move freely around formwork and confined areas.
• Effective Consolidation: Brushless motor delivers up to 12,700 vibrations per minute, paired with a 1 in. vibrator head and 4 ft. whip for footings, slabs and other small- to medium-sized applications.
• Jobsite-Tough Design: IPX4 protection helps safeguard the switch and the battery from splashing concrete, while a balanced design supports comfortable handling during extended use.

PRO Pin-Type Moisture Meter (GMP1-13)

• Precise Moisture Detection: Pin-Type measurement detects moisture across wood, drywall, concrete and other materials, with an automatic self-test designed to help optimize performance and accuracy.
• Preprogrammed Material Settings: Includes settings for 37 types of wood and 10 building materials, while an adjustable threshold scale with color visualization helps simplify result interpretation.
• Jobsite-Ready Durability: Rubber-reinforced housing and an IP65 rating provide dust-tight and water-resistant protection, with flexible power options using included AA batteries or a rechargeable 3.7V Li-Ion battery, sold separately.

PRO Pinless Moisture Meter (GMM1-15)

• Non-Damaging Measurement: Uses electromagnetic field (EMF) technology to detect moisture in wood, drywall, concrete and more without damaging the material.
• Optimized Results: Preprogrammed settings for 37 types of wood and 10 building materials to help optimize measurement for each material type, while reference mode allows users to compare moisture levels across surfaces.
• Jobsite-Ready Design: Features a high-contrast LCD display, rubber-reinforced housing and an IP65 rating for enhanced dust and water protection.

EXPERT 18V Wall/Floor Scanner with Radar (D-TECT18V-200-17C)

• Advanced Detection: Bosch Radar Technology detects wood and steel studs, metals, water-filled plastic pipes and live wires behind drywall, concrete, brick and more, with detection up to 7-1/2 in. deep.
• 3D Imaging + AI Technology: Integrated AI processes radar data to help improve scan results, while 3D imaging provides a detailed view of embedded objects.
• Easy Documentation: Screenshot functionality, internal memory and USB-C/SD card data transfer help professionals capture and analyze findings.

EXPERT True RMS Digital Multimeter (EXDM600-17)

• Versatile Diagnostic Measurements: Measures temperature, microamps, LoZ, voltage up to 600V AC/DC, current, resistance, continuity, capacitance, frequency, diodes and more.
• Jobsite-Ready Durability: IP65-rated, rubber-reinforced housing provides dust and water protection and withstands drops up to 6 ft.
• Easy Operation: Large, high-contrast display, ergonomic grip and integrated kickstand support visibility and hands-free use.

EXPERT True RMS Clamp Meter (EXMC600-17)

• Advanced Diagnostics: Measures temperature, microamps, AC/DC current up to 600 A, frequency, voltage and more using True RMS technology.
• Non-Invasive Measurement: A 1.18 in. jaw opening allows current measurements without opening circuits, while an integrated non-contact voltage detector enables quick voltage checks.
• Built for the Jobsite: IP54-rated, rubber-reinforced housing, a high-contrast display and integrated LED work light support demanding applications.
