| Reviews | Bosch Bluetooth Module. Used in Bosch Driver drill. No instructions came with the module on how to get connected from tool to app. Didn't like the negative warnings associated with bluetooth operation, sounded like it would be a health concern. The app though a good idea was not practical for use in every day setting. Tools don't need other tech just need to do the job. I wouldn't use the app for a tool to change a setting that should be on the tool itself. | The Bluetooth module is a need little addition to the impact bit driver. Locks is the side of the handle and is smooth no edges. The Bosch app connected seamlessly to the module and can see battery life and change power |
