Firstly the delivery was fast and the transaction simple. Thanks. The Bosch is well built, has the power to tackle some thick growth and you can get a second battery 8amp by redemption free. Happy I selected the bundle and the dealership.
Great company, great support, great product.

Item in excellent condition, good price, speedy delivery.
Arrived well packaged and works great, good doing business with yourselves
Due to a lack of support for Jet bandsaws in my country, finding a replacement tire for mt 18” saw was difficult!! I nearly got scammed by some mob in Europe until I found Beyond Tools. This tire is perfect and won’t be supplied by the manufacturer out of America so for me this has been the best solution
