Product Description

The XEO has a number of useful features. Click here for a larger image.
Bosch Xeo All-Purpose Cutter: Looks Sharp, Cuts Sharp

Faster, lighter and more precise--the Bosch Xeo is the improved universal cutting tool from Bosch Power Tools. Compact and precise, this tool has a better cutting performance than its predecessor and is the perfect solution for all of your lightweight cutting tasks. Great cuts are easy with the XEO--you can use it with ease in carpet, cardboard, foils, cork and wallpaper. You can also accurately trim plastic strips, shower curtains and window blinds. Even PVC or linoleum floors can be cut to size with ease. Scissors are no completion, and the Xeo even sharpens itself.

The Xeo is a truly handy tool to have around the house. It’s useable for jobs that are too hard for scissors and too dangerous for carpet knives. It is ideal for opening stubborn packaging, for pruning unsightly, protruding branches of plants or even for trimming a reed mat, bamboo or corrugated plastic for a balcony, patio or garden to the desired height. Users can generally use the Bosch Xeo to chop up anything that they no longer need--you’ll be able to fit a lot more in your waste bin or recycling. Its versatility makes the Xeo a tool for everyday jobs because it is always within reach. It’s always ready for use thanks to its practical lithium-ion technology. It makes a smart and useful gift, as a tool that everybody wants to get their hands on, regardless of whether they are right-handers or left-handers.

The XEO universal cutter will appeal to keen crafters looking for a tool to provide a neat edge on paper, card or felt projects or to keen DIYers fitting lino or carpet. Interior designers will also benefit from a precise cut when reupholstering furniture or trimming wallpaper. Not forgetting budding fashion designers, who can guarantee a stylish result on all kinds of fabric, including denim.

Precision in Cutting

The Xeo offers a better view of the cutting line when in action than its predecessor and has a red line-of-cut indicator on the safety guard, which makes it easier to guide the cut. It cuts materials up to six millimetres thick. The tool also comes with a handy cutting guide, allowing you to cut and fit carpets with ease.

The Xeo knife has a precise, improved cutting performance, especially in thin and flexible material (such as textile) when compared to the previous generation cutter. Thanks the AutoSharp self-sharpening function, users don’t have to worry about losing the sharpness of the rotary cutting blade. The lower blade is made of a stronger material than the upper blade and the lower blade is fixed in a shallow angle with the 10-sided upper blade, so the blades rub against one another, which results in a self-sharpening effect. The lock-off switch and safety guard minimise the risk of injury. The gripping surface of the Xeo gives a better and more comfortable hold, and reduces the risk of the user losing his or her grip and therefore control of the machine. Users can cut more than 150 meters of thick material (such as a 4 mm strong carpet) until they have to recharge the battery.

Safe in Use

The lock-off switch and safety guard minimise the risk of injury.

Softgrip

The gripping surface of the Xeo gives a better and more comfortable hold, and reduces the risk of the user losing his or her grip and therefore control of the machine.

Lithium-Ion Technology

The lithium-ion technology means that the tool is always ready to use.

The Advantages of Lithium-Ion Technology

Tools with lithium-ion technology are ready for use practically all of the time. Regardless of whether the battery is fully charged, partially charged, or flat, you can recharge it without having to worry about self-discharge or memory effect.

 Because of lithium ion technology, Bosch li-ion power tools have power that is available six times longer than tools with conventional NiCad batteries
Small Tools, Big Progress--Simply Remarkable

Bosch lithium-ion cordless tools like the XEO are ready for use quickly. Even after a period of 4 months on standby, a fully charged lithium-ion battery is still charged to approximately 85 per cent. This means that Bosch Power is available to you for six times longer than that of conventional NiCd batteries.

 Bosch lithium-Ion technology
Full Power at all Times

No self-discharge, no memory effect: constant battery capacity over the entire lifetime. Always ready when you are thanks to lithium-Ion technology.

Bosch lithium-Ion technology
Same Battery Power at Half the Size

Due to the lithium-ion technology, the size and weight of the batteries are reduced by approximately 60 per cent compared to conventional nickel cadmium batteries--although they offer the same amount of power.

 Bosch lithium-Ion technology
Batteries That Can Withstand the Elements

The intelligent electronic cell protection, Bosch ECP, protects the lithium-ion batteries against excessive temperatures and overload, therefore giving them a particularly long lifetime.

Bosch lithium-Ion technology
High Power, Low Weight

Bosch cordless tools with lithium-ion technology impress with their very compact design, low weight and very good ease of use. This saves you a lot of effort when doing those DIY jobs.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A cut above average! 5 May 2012
    By Paul Madge HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    I got this cutter to do a variety of jobs around the house and have used it so far to cut a shower curtain; trim some carpet off cuts to fit onto garage steps; and; to cut through some old plastic plant pots to remove them. I have to say it works very well indeed.

    This Bosch product is well presented in a sealed, embossed storage tin, and, on opening, the look and quality of it lives up to expectations of the Bosch name - it feels sturdy but not heavy, and, once charged, seems to hold its charge between uses. The handle is soft to grip and the power can only be switched on deliberately - there is a clever safety switch. Other positive points include a cutting guide; battery charge indicator; and robust construction with self sharpening blades. (The blades sharpen by friction against each other).

    I do however, agree with the review on this page that questions its claimed suitability for left-handed use. It is very hard to use as you can't see the cut in left handed use. This could be a critical to some purchasers, and, for this reason it drops a star - it might not have done so had it not been for the explicit claim of suitability for left-handed people in the Bosch product particulars. However, in all other respects it's a very useful thing to have around, but, rather like a kitchen gadget unless you have it permanently powered up/charged and ready to use you won't actually end up using it and it will just gather dust.

    Finally, don't be tempted to buy the cheaper "version 1" of this product, I know from a neighbour that it is a vastly inferior product despite being much cheaper. Subject to the comment about left-handed use and keeping it available for immediate use - recommended.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works well but do you need it? 4 May 2012
    By Mr Gumby TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    This would probably be a very useful tool if I had a specific, regular use for it. The trouble is, I bought mine on the spur of the moment, when the price was unusually low, because it seemed like a good idea for ad-hoc use.

    It doesn't really do anything I can't fairly easily do by other means (scissors/cutters of one sort or another, knives, etc.). I haven't had it long but suspect that, each time I have a use for it, I'll tend to grab the nearest hand tool instead, or find it needs charging because I haven't used it for a while, or perhaps simply forget I have it.

    It certainly does what it claims, so, if you have a specific need for a tool like this, don't hesitate to buy. Unless you're left-handed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Carper Muncher 29 Jun 2012
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    I got this to try out the new model and was very pleased with it. So far I have cut a quite tough hard-wearing carpet with a thick weave, which is v.hard to do by hand with a pair of scissors. This tool cut fairly easily through it nd I was able to cut out pipe entries in it well. The eye guide (the red line) is useful and the safety lock has now been moved to the underside of the tool. Together with the offset carpet cutting accessory this is a very useful tool indeed for use around the house.

    Again a beautifulyl styled and elegant tool by Bosch, it looks great on a mantle-piece :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars It looks like uneuseful but it's incredible.
    At first glance may seem like a useless tool, but no, it is useful, powerful enough, and precise.
    Moreover, you can cut in a more secure way.
