Bosch GSA 18V-28 – BITURBO Brushless Universal Saw 18 V, Body Only

The Bosch GSA 18V-28 Professional universal saw is a high-performance cordless tool thanks to BITURBO Brushless technology. It offers power comparable to a 1,100 W corded saw, with a stroke length of 28 mm, cutting depth up to 230 mm in wood and 150 mm in metal. This version is tool only, without battery or case, ideal if you already have the Bosch 18V system.

The Bosch GSA 18V-28 Professional (code 06016C0001) is designed for professionals who require maximum power combined with cordless freedom. The BITURBO brushless motor guarantees cutting performance equivalent to a 1,100 W corded saw, while maintaining a balanced weight. 

The 28 mm blade stroke allows for quick and efficient cuts, while the tool-free snap-in function allows the blade to be inserted or removed with one hand, optimizing working times.

The speed is variable via the trigger, and the ergonomic design, with a curved top handle, ensures comfort even during cuts in awkward or "inverted" positions. There is also a side hook (rafter hook) for hanging the saw when working on scaffolding or beams.

With a weight of 3.2 kg without battery, the saw is stable but maneuverable enough for prolonged operations. The stated cutting depths are 230 mm in wood and 150 mm in metal profiles / pipes.

The "body only" version allows you to save money if you already own Bosch 18V batteries and chargers, also reducing bulk and shipping costs. We recommend using Bosch PROCORE batteries to achieve maximum performance with an amperage of at least 5.5 Ah. The saw also works with standard batteries but does not achieve the same performance.
