Amazon has some great Bosch deals and promos right now, and I was poking around their store page to see if I could find any more.
In doing so, I came across this interactive Bosch tools feature where you click a button and things break. You then need to click on a Bosch tool and then the broken part to fix the hazards, put out the fire, and level things.
There are 3 versions of the same thing – shown above is the Macho Man Randy Savage page. I found it to be creative and fun for a couple of seconds.

Some Ongoing Bosch Tool Deals
Bosch still has some ongoing tool deals at Amazon. I didn’t find more, but these continue to be noteworthy bargains:
Bosch Bulldog Xtreme SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer (11255VSR) – $161.10
Price Check: Home Depot has it for $179, and the same is true at Ohio Power Tool and Lowe’s. It looks like the “regular” price is $219.
This model features rotation-only, rotary hammer, and hammer-only (chipping) modes with a traditional D-handle design.
As it’s an AC/corded model, you don’t have to worry about battery platform compatibility.
Bosch 5″ Random Orbital Sander with Tool Bag – $59

Nearly 20 years ago, when I was shopping for woodworking sanders, Bosch was lauded as delivering unform material removal patterns, good quality, and reasonable pricing.
Not much has changed since then. If you’re in the market for a good corded sander, this is an excellent value.
Bosch GLM100 Laser Distance Measuring Tool – $34.99
This is an excellent value for an incredibly useful tool. I’m not at all new to laser distance measuring tools – this remains my favorite and most-used model.
If you don’t need fancy features, this one is easy to use and has a clear display and greater accuracy specs than competing models.
Bosch GLL50 50ft Self-Leveling Cross-Line Laser Level – $50.96
I haven’t vetted this one, but I can say it’d be at the top of my shortlist for a first-time laser level. Its accuracy of ±5/16″ at 30′ seems average for the price point. If you need something better, the GLL 55 has better accuracy at a much higher price, and they also have a green beam laser GLL50-20G. The price tends to soften further around Black Friday, which is a pretty long wait.
I couldn’t find anything better for anywhere close to the same price.
Bosch 12V Brushless Flexi-Click/Chameleon 5-in-1 Cordless Drill/Driver – $134.10
This tool is part cordless drill, part cordless screwdriver, and part problem-solver. The more expensive bundle with an oscillating multi-tool sold out during Prime Day, but this standalone kit still remains a great value.
Note: Acme Tools has a deal of the day on 7/14/2025 where you save $50 off $200+ select Bosch Tool orders. This FlexiClick kit is eligible.

I recall buying that 8 amp corded rotary hammer for a very similar price at Lowes about 4 years ago. The fact that it has not inflated in price is noteworthy.

IIRC the 1″ SDS rotary hammers were $200 20 years ago. I got the Makita because it came with a free grinder. Still use it for chiselling, where I need runtime, but haven’t drilled with it in years.

Interesting!
On a related note – Acme says that they are having a sale on selected Bosch items

Yes, but I’m still annoyed that they rug-pulled a recent $125 off promo. $50 off $200 is good – I mentioned this deal of the day above – but not as satisfying.

I know they were trying, but it still ends up looking like:

I picked up the Bosch GLL50-20 Cross-line laser level for $50 at HD, earlier today. While it was a bit of an impulse buy, I do have a planned future project in mind and it will be my first time using a cross-line laser level.
On further review, I found that this unit has an accuracy spec of +/- 5/16” at 30’. This seems excessive to me and not the kind of accuracy I was expecting from this type of tool. For around $200+ I can get to a more acceptable +/- 1/8”.
To those with some experience using these, what is your tolerance for accuracy?
Stuart
It’s hard to say without knowing what you’re using it for. I always try to mention the accuracy because it is a little higher than average, but also a lot less expensive.
If your working distance is just 10 feet or so, and you’re drilling holes for shelf brackets, the laser’s accuracy will likely be the least influential tolerance. Self-leveling Laser suitability really depends on what you’re using it for.
(Check the terms of the return policy first.) If in your shoes, with the tool already in-hand, I’d give it a try, and return if it didn’t meet my quality expectations.
Laser accuracy is something we can tackle in a new post, but probably not until we get deeper into the month or maybe after the new year.
Bill
Yes, I should have included more context in my post. My plans are to add a couple of wall cabinets to a bathroom and later on some chair rail in a hallway. Of course both of these little projects can be accomplished without a cross-line laser level, but I am intrigued by its use.
Also, I just ordered the GLL-55 from Amazon and will most likely return the GLL50-20.
Stuart, you did mention the accuracy in this article, I just didn’t do any of my typical research before I buy something. It’s also printed on the side of the box. Go figure. 🙃
Stuart
I figured you bought it, saw it, and then came here to comment. =)
The GLL 55 is accurate to ±1/8″ at 33ft.
Things like that are easy to overlook. If price point isn’t a strict consideration, that model is a good choice.
