BOSCH GTB18V-45N 18V Brushless 1/4 In. Hex Screwgun (Bare Tool)

The Bosch Screw Gun works great on it’s own. However, if you are looking to add a collated attachment for automation. Maybe look elsewhere. I reviewed the attachment first and left the information in this review as I think it is relevant information. Please read the entire review.After much research I decided to give this Bosch screw attachment a shot. First a little background. I am one of the owners of Anderson Roofing & Home Improvement in Graytown, Ohio. I’ve done construction form most of my adult life. Tools aren’t just a hobby, it’s how I make a living! So, not an amateur by any means! I purchased this item GMA-22 along with the Bosch screw gun GTB18V-45B15. I have limited batteries for Bosch tools so I bought another battery so I would have a spare on hand. With that said!Assembly:I promptly unpacked everything and put everything together. Everything goes together easy! Taking things apart however will take a bit of muscle. Make sure you are standing near anything or anyone you don’t want to hit of damage when you go to remove the nose or the attachment. Why? Well, these attachments are friction fit and fit very snug. When they parts pop a part there will be significant force that could injure ones self or a near by person. Once I had everything together and read through all the instructions I proceeded to a test wall.Testing:I double checked everything to ensure I was ready to go. I carefully aligned myself and commenced screwing. Out of the gate I noticed that the first screw skipped if you follow the instructions. Not a big deal. So I carried on. The screws seemed to misalign often with the bit causing the screw to flop to side ways. This happened about every 4th or 5th screw. This could be caused by what appears to be poor alignment of the attachment to the tool. I continued on. Less than a minute in the gun got stuck on randomly pulsating. I was able to correct this by removing the battery and the attachment and reassembling. This happened a few times. After the 3rd jam/stuck on condition I shut it down and opted to return the items purchased for this attachment. It’s a real shame. The gun seems to work fine on it’s own. But, I prefer collated screws to speed up my work and fun!I really want to like Bosch tools. I love the colors! However, this is the second time I experimented with Bosch tools. I have an 1/2″ impact from Bosch as well. It broke on the first day of use. I sent it out for repair and received it back a month later. It now sits in my tool box next to the Milwaukee I had to buy to do the job I bought the Bosch for. The Milwaukee impact works flawlessly! Just an FYI!I will stick to Dewalt and Milwaukee for most tools for now. Bosch, get your shit together! I want to turn my tool boxes and garages Bosch blue. The only thing stopping me is Bosch Quality!Assembly 10/10Disassembly 9/10Function 10/10
