Leading players from the regional building materials and construction machinery sector will be showcasing their latest power tools at the upcoming Hardware + Tools Middle East exhibition in Dubai, UAE.

In its 18th edition, the three-day event, which opens on May 22 (Monday), will feature 166 exhibitors from eight countries representing over 250 brands, and covering all areas of the construction sector, said the organisers.  

Central Motors & Equipment (CM&E), the sole UAE distributor of Bosch Power Tools, is set to launch its latest range of German manufactured equipment aimed at contracting and fit-out firms, construction companies, or workshops across the region.

A headline exhibitor and Gold Sponsor of Hardware + Tools Middle East 2017, CM&E will launch its latest line of Bosch cordless screw drivers, drills, and measuring tools at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Among the highlights is a Flexi Click 12V 5-in-1 cordless drill driver which is the only system available in the UAE with a full range of four different attachments.  

A new range of professional Bosch drills will also be introduced that, according to of CM&E’s general manager Ismaeel Hassen, are up to 10 per cent faster in drilling and 35 per cent more productive than competitors in the market.

“With eight per cent longer life owing to Power Ribs design housing and 790W motor, the drilling performance is exceptional,” stated Hassen.

"Last but certainly not least, we will launch Bosch’s measurement tools which are top-of-the-line for both, a do-it-yourself (DIY)," he noted.

“We will also display the GLL 3-80 C, which will be available in the UAE later in September. This laser measurement tool has a connectivity function and works with Bluetooth. Operating with a remote control, the tool will allow the user to turn it in any direction making this job from a two-man duet to a one-man solo operation," said Hassen.

“A similar tool is available for DIYs to encourage first-timers an easy-to-use product with an attractive design to give up using traditional measuring methods and start using laser,” he added.
