Does anybody know if the Bosch GMS 120 is exactly the same as the one sold in Germany. I need it to detect power supply lines (230V) and water lines in brick walls 50mm deep. Anybody has any info if these are made specifically for the US market?

The answer is provided by the manual at http://www.bosch-professional.com/gb/en/gms-120-23317-ocs-p/ which specifies: Digital Detector GMS 120 Article number 3 601 K81 0.. Maximum scanning depth* - Ferrous metals - 120mm - Non-ferrous metals (copper) - 80mm - Live conductors 110-230 V - 50mm (voltage applied)** - Wood - 38mm Regards, Mikhail

Thanks, Nancy. That's good to know. I'm staying away from Worx and will just use mine until it dies and maybe repair it. No battery in mine. Mine is an older Worx corded mower that cuts as short as 1" which is next to the last choice, or the last choice which is 3/4 inch. I have the best looking lawn on the street whenever I can get around to cutting it. I hate to have to go European because I'll have to step the 240v down to 120v but Bosch cuts as low as 20mm.

I'm not really sure where Bosch is made, but I'm sure it's written on all Bosch tools. It's not Germany.

The one I purchased Schumacher PC-6 120 AC to 12V works great for me. I am not an Engineer but I can not see why it would not work for you. I am very happy with the product. It's simple and it works.

I don't know the country where the hammer drill was made, you may better determine this by contacting Bosch. The voltage that the hammer drill uses is 120V.

They have no clear place or point of manufacture. They are a bit different "shape" than the Bosch. Appear more like Bremi. The one I installed five months ago has worked fine.

Nelson, My coil was still good when I replaced my Pertronix breaker-less points. I am using the standard blue Bosch 043-905-115C 12v coil in my '82 Air-cooled Vanagon. If you "Google" that Bosch number you will see that the coil is available in many places online; the search may also help you figure out if that coil is the one you need...if you have a 12v AC VW...that is probably it...may want to verify if you have CA or Fed. emissions...seems like it makes a difference for the coils... I have Fed.. Good Luck! Hope you can get 'er to turn over!

On the back of the box it says under "Electrical Ratings": 15A 120V, 60HZ 1800W. I don't see 240V mentioned anywhere. On the back of the unit, on the impossible to read white raised letters, it also only lists 120V. I think in theory a power strip is simply extending any power coming in. It seems like almost all this stuff is made for the world market and i would bet they sell the exact same device oversea's with different plugs and it works fine. I'd be tempted to go ahead and use it, but you're on your own. The maximum spike current is 12,000A, I don't know what amperage is used on a 240V system, but I think it's less than the US amperage. I'm liking it more and more as I use it. On the back of the box it says under "Electrical Ratings": 15A 120V, 60HZ 1800W. I don't see 240V mentioned anywhere.

Bosch is German, where they actually manufacture and/or assemble could be anywhere. BMWs were built in Mexico for a long time. The hammer drill is awesome.

Dear Sheila,Thanks for your interest! Since we ship out of many locations across the US, it'd be of great help to us if you could provide an ASIN for the 220-240 version. Are they currently for sale on Amazon? If they are, I'll gladly check our stores for the higher voltage version you desire. Sometimes items haven't been listed for sale yet, so you never know. Thanks!

Great idea !, but unfortunately I have never seen or heard of one in the Bosch line. I would definitely consider purchasing one if it exists.Good luck !

I searched Vitamix site and it cites the American machines being made for 120 volts. Apparently there are European units, but I did not find any details. Hope this helps.

The UK version (Bosch GCM 12 GDL Professional) ships with an included non battery powered laser that produces two lines that bracket the saw kerf. Not sure why Bosch made the laser layout tool an extra for USA version. There are other differences between these models and the UK 240V version has more options as stardard equipment.
