New Capital Safety Ultra-Lok™ RSQ Self Retracting Lifeline with Rescue Offers World’s First Dual-Mode Operation

Bosch AutoStart™ Revolutionizes Hole Cutting in Tile, Stone & Glass

Precision is the name of the game when it comes to medium to large hole-cutting in porcelain, granite, marble, ceramic tile or even glass. Slip-ups mean wasted money due to scratched or broken material or, worse, a hole that isn’t where the user wanted it. Thanks to Bosch’s innovative AutoStart™ system, users no longer have to worry about their hole saws skittering away during startup. The AutoStart design delivers sure and precise cuts every time.

Bosch’s AutoStart is an industry first mechanism that allows users to quickly and accurately drill a hole without first drilling a small pilot hole. With AutoStart, the pilot hole mechanism and the desired diamond hole saw cup are both already in place and ready to go, enabling – for the first time ever - one-step hole cutting in hard surfaces.    Read more
