Uneo from Bosch


Get your father this three-in-one-tool for Father’s Day!
Hammering, drilling and screw driving with one power tool: the innovative Uneo from Bosch makes it possible. This three-in-one-tool is a real cordless rotary hammer with pneumatic hammer mechanism but it has very small dimensions and a weight of only 1.1 kilograms. The cordless tool is about the same size as a sheet of DIN A5, it is particularly handy and designed for convenient working. The new Uneo from Bosch completes all your drilling and screw driving jobs with flying colours: it drills holes for fixings in concrete up to ten millimetres in diameter as easily as it drills holes up to ten millimetres in diameter in wood. It then also drives the screws for the wall brackets needed to fit wall cabinets. The user does not even have to get off his ladder between jobs because he always has the right machine with him. Moreover, there is no annoying cable because the Uneo works with an integrated lithium-ion battery in the 14.4 volt class. It therefore offers all of the advantages of this modern battery technology: low weight and volume, hardly any self-discharge, rechargeable at any time.
 

 

Ceramic Coffee Mug with lid from Woolworths


If your father loves coffee, but is always on the go and does not like paper cups, this is the ideal gift for him. This colourful ceramic coffee mug with lid will not only prevent spillage but will also keep the coffee warm for longer. It is available in various colours and will fit in any standard size cup holder. Because ceramic material is quite heavy at the bottom, it will also not tip over easily.

Bosch cordless Shrub and Grass Shear Set


The new Cordless Shrub and Grass Shear Set ASB 10,8 V LI from Bosch offers three ideal garden tools in one. If you combine the cordless shear with the blades included in the set – a grass shear blade, a shape cutting blade and a shrub shear blade – it is possible to perform different applications. The ten-centimetre-wide grass shear blade enables gardening enthusiasts to put the edges and corners of their lawn into shape. The twelve-centimetre-long blade for shape cutting is ideal for sculpting figures. The 20-centimetre-long shrub shear blade enables powerful trimming of all types of shrubs and bushes. A special feature of the new Bosch shrub shears is the “Anti-Blocking” System, which ensures uninterrupted cutting, even of thicker branches. The electronics of the shear detect if the blades cannot cut through the branches straight away. If this happens, the running direction of the blade is automatically adjusted, so that the shear does not stall. When the battery is flat, it takes only three hours to completely recharge it. This is definitely a tool that any gardener would appreciate!
