The New Bosch PFS Spray Guns Bosch_55

The New Bosch PFS guns create brilliant coats of paint on smooth or heavily textured surfaces alike - three times faster than a paintbrush!


They work with a low-pressure "SprayControl Technology" where an air jacket accurately focuses the paint mist when spraying so that you use up to 15 per cent less paint.  Plus, the air jet speeds up the drying process and a second coat can be instantly applied.

The new Bosch PFS 105E is ideal for spraying internal rooms as well as large outdoor surfaces.  It's a flexible, mobile system with electronic airflow - allowing you to control the paint mist to suit the type of material being used.  The lightweight spray gun and 3.4 meter air hose allow work from different angles, and the base unit with wheels has a sophisticated storage system for the air hose.

The new Bosch PFS 55 is a hand-held system for small to medium spraying tasks, such as furniture or even wooden toys.  The integrated paint flow control can be set using the infinitely variable wheel in the switch.  It is also perfectly suited for spraying pesticides on plants.

Completing the spray gun range is the PFS 65, which became available for the first time this Summer.  This is a compact, portable system perfect for medium sized projects such as larger pieces of furniture, garden fences or sheds.  The low weight of its spray gun and the flexible air hose allow for easy working, even in awkward positions or overhead.  When the work is done, the hose is conveniently stored in the base unit.

The spray guns are incredibly simple to use - even for beginners.   All the parts used to guide the paint are fitted with the tool-free 'SDS principle', allowing for easy paint changes. When work is interrupted, simply put the spray gun down in the 'parked' position.

Materials with thin viscosity such as varnishes, wood preservatives, pesticides, stains, oils or primers are applied undiluted.  With acrylic or gloss paints, dilute in 10% steps and perform spray tests until a consistent paint pattern is produced. (You usually only need to dilute once.)

Paint tanks of either 600ml or 800ml are available for spraying surfaces of different sizes.

The Bosch PFS system is quickly cleaned.  All you have to do is spray repeatedly with water or solvent until clear liquid flows out.  Then clean the individual parts separately.  The new Fine Spray Guns are also quieter than the so-called airless spray systems.

The Bosch PFS 55, 65 and 105E will be available at B&Q from October 2008.  Their recommended retail prices are £59.99, £99.99 and £139.99 respectively, including VAT.  For further information call:  0844 736 0107.

They come with a free DVD containing tips on how to use the individual systems.



New UNEO from BOSCH - Three Tools In One Bosch_UNEO

 
Bosch has launched the ingenious UNEO - a cordless screwdriver, drill and rotary hammer all in one tool.

Weighing only 1.1 kilos and no bigger than an A5 sheet of paper, this compact power pack makes light work of screwdriving, hammering and drilling - even through concrete - thanks to its pneumatic hammer mechanism and lithium-ion battery.

Fitting a curtain rail, installing a light fixture, assembling kitchen furniture or putting up shelves usually demands several different tools plus a mains cable:  a drill for drilling holes in wood or metal;  a rotary hammer for fixings in hard concrete walls;  and a screwdriver for joining the parts together.

The cordless UNEO completes all of these drilling and screwdriving tasks in one - it will cover 90% of all DIY jobs in the average home and tackles masonry, concrete, metal, wood and plastic with equal ease.  And you don't have to get off your stepladder mid-job!

Moreover, there is no trailing cable to trip over because the UNEO runs on a powerful 14.4 Volt lithium-ion battery. Lightweight and small, it recharges as quickly as a mobile phone and is protected by Electronic Cell Protection (ECP) to guard against overload, overheating or total discharge. The charging process itself prevents any overcharge of the cells, extending battery life.

One hundred screws can be driven with one battery charge.  There is a red and a green LED light to help check the charge levels - red indicates low battery, green is good to go.  Two further LED arrows show whether forward or reverse operation has been selected, handy when screwdriving.

The multi-functional Bosch UNEO boasts a pneumatic hammer mechanism with the smallest ever dimensions, giving you maximum power in extremely small spaces.  The single impact force of 0.9 joules at 4800 blows per minute speaks for itself.

Another new feature is the drill bit holder:  the SDS-Quick system for fast bit changes.  Drill or screwdriver bits can be inserted quickly and conveniently - simply insert the drill bit, let it engage and off you go. 

The innovative, miniaturised UNEO comes ready for use with two masonry/concrete drill bits (6mm and 8mm);   two hex-shank drill bits for wood and metal (5mm and 6mm);  and four long screwdriver bits.

The UNEO set is available from B&Q at a recommended retail price of £119.99 including VAT.  The perfect Christmas gift for the DIY-er in the house!  For more information visit:  www.bosch-do-it.co.uk/diy
