Bosch Rebrands... JFS?

Didn't know there were Bosch Rebrands out there?

Spotted this SDS drill on the bay:

Looks identical to the Bosch GBH2-26DRE which retails at over £120. If it is what the guy says it is this could be a bargain! Very tempted... Although i got my heart set on a Makita 2450 to supplement my Makita tool chest

makita 2450 is now discontinued , replaced by the 2470

the bosch is arguably the better tool (if nothing else has a 3 year warranty)

as for the re-brand , cant see it being a genuine bosch , maybe reconditioned ?? but why re-brand a known make to something unknown and sell vastly cheaper ??? most people would leave it as a bosch and sell it for a lot more

Sounds fishy to me

looks like a cheap chinese copy to me

Thought it was too good to be true, will leave that then! The Makita 2470 are a little bit expensive so was looking at the older 2450 which seems just as good, but these can be picked up pretty cheap now.
