| Marketing Copy | The Bosch GCA30-42K Bluetooth® Dust Control Auto-Start System eliminates the need to manually start and stop a paired 18V power tool and corded dust extractor, helping to increase worker productivity and reduce worker fatigue while on the job. The GCT30-42 Bluetooth® Auto-Start Remote Transmitter can be fastened with adjustable attachment bands (included) to both Bosch and competitor 18V concrete, drywall and woodworking power tools having the ability to be connected to a corded dust extractor. The transmitter detects when the power tool is switched on or off, prompting the GCA30-42 receiver on the dust extractor to start or stop automatically. While the auto-start functionality makes it intuitive and easy to use, the remote transmitter can also manually start or stop the dust extractor if needed. A bright, highly visible LED status indicator light displays the status of the connection between the receiver and remote transmitter (established, weak or disconnected), even in dimly lit work areas. The GCT30-42 Bluetooth® Auto-Start Remote Transmitter is water and dust resistant with IP54 protection to withstand tough jobsite conditions. The Bluetooth® Dust Control Auto-Start System includes the GCA30-42 receiver, GCT30-42 Bluetooth® Auto-Start Remote Transmitter, three attachment bands and one 3V coin cell battery. |

| Reviews | For what it is, it's perfect. I wish that the off-timer was adjustable, but I totally get why it runs for about 10 seconds after vibration is stopped. I found it best to wrap the detector around the hose near the tool adapter, so you don't have to move it from tool to tool, and the vibration is easily detected in the hose. Buying at full price is not recommended, as it is pricey for what it is, but I found it on sale at Acme and the convenience is worth the investment. | My boss very generously purchased this for me to use with my Bosch BOSCH VAC090AH Dust Extractor. There is a night-and-day difference in how I use this vacuum now. The vibration auto start and manual mode were easy to set up and worked perfectly out of the box. I attach the Bluetooth module to any tool or the hose itself, and I can start/stop my extractor anywhere within the hose length. It's absolutely game-changing when trying to collect cutting debris to keep a customer's home/jobsite clean & safe. I no longer need a 3rd arm to juggle turning on my vac, positioning the hose, and handling a tool. Cutting & collecting have become streamlined simultaneously. |
