Several months ago Bosch acquired CST/Berger from the Stanley Works. Bosch has been looking to get into the laser business for some time and CST/Berger is probably the best name in the business so the purchase couldn’t have been a better fit. Stanley at the time was looking to diversify away from the construction business so it looks like this worked out for everyone. 

In addition to continuing to build the CST/Berger line Bosch has also decided to add several new products under the Bosch name. These new items include dot lasers, line laser levels and rotary laser levels. The Bosch specific products are aimed more toward the contractors and they will most likely never have the specialty products or survey equipment similar to the CST/Berger line.

Below is a list of all the new Bosch Laser Tools you will see the first quarter 2009.
