I'm not a Mafell fanboy by any means and I only own one of their tools, the KSS60, but I can't see your logic here. The use of Bosch parts doesn't mean that the overall tool is equivalent to a Bosch. When you buy a Mafell, you're paying for the design and features of the tool, which are the things which might, or might not, make it more convenient, useful, accurate or time saving compared to competitors. Almost every piece of equipment, from tools to TV's are made from other manufacturer parts, because each company usually specialises in certain products. If they tried to manufacture every single part, they'd become spread thin and a jack of all trades. Plus, Bosch are known for high quality engineering and longevity, so as far as externally sourced parts go, Bosch are pretty hard to beat.
@@ImLeeBee talk about not understanding the logic..... would you pay 5-6 times for a bosch tool with a mafell shell? You don't buy a Ferrari and expect a ford engine. A professional tool repair shop says there is nothing special about Mafell but the bosch parts they are made from are okay so there's that. WTF?
@@tableshaper4076 Yes the use of Bosch parts making them "nothing special" is illogical. Apollo 11 was built using parts from many, many companies. You didn't say anything along the lines of "I can see this product is 5x the price of this competing product but I only see a 1.1x improvement, which isn't worth it". Also, it's not just a Bosch tool in a Mafell shell. I agree, they're very expensive, but they are adding value by introducing innovations here and there which weather or not it's worth the cost difference is up to you. Remember, if you're a professional user, going through a lot of material or making a lot of money, a 1% increase in productivity, or a 1% decrease in wasted material, could potentially pay back the difference you paid. Obviously, this isn't specific to Mafell, it's just how things work. Often, the last 10% refinement of anything, has a cost that vastly outweighs that 10%. In this case, that collet locking lever snapped, but that type of innovation is that 10%, which most people don't actually need, but there is a market for it.
I was considering Mafell until I watch a few repair channels and they said they use standard bosch parts, there is nothing special about them.
