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.

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
