Bosch AdvancedMulti 18 Cordless Multifunction Review UK 2026

Key specifications

Build Quality and Design

This cordless tool is designed as a compact 18V cordless multifunction tool, with a body size of 30.5 x 6.2 x 8.9 cm and a weight of 1.09 kg, making it relatively easy to handle for detail work. The build is practical, with a narrow profile that helps access tight corners, and the Bosch layout keeps controls within reach. An 180-degree light band supports visibility during use, and the AutoClic keyless accessory system helps enable quick swaps.

Battery System and Run Time

With a compact 18V platform, the cordless tool runs on a single battery pack, and the kit includes 1 x battery PBA 18V 2.5Ah. This means runtime depends on how long the tool is used and which accessories are fitted during a job. The included AL 1830 CV charger is designed for recharging between work sessions. The single-battery setup limits longer projects, so swapping packs or having spare batteries would help.

Power and Torque

Power on the Bosch cordless multifunction comes from its 18V battery platform, and the kit is supplied with a single battery pack (PBA 18V 2.5Ah). The kit's strength is its consistent use for mixed attachments included for the cordless tool, as it can drive Starlock heads. A limitation is that the single 2.5Ah pack restricts sustained high-demand work before recharge is required.

Speed and Versatility

Speed and versatility on the Bosch 0603104071 AdvancedMulti 18 cordless multifunction are supported by its included high-control system and the Starlock-compatible heads in the kit, with accessory switching designed to be fast. The AutoClic system is described for 3-second, keyless accessory changes, helping shorten setup time between tasks. Electronic speed preselection is included for controlling output for different materials, while the 93 mm delta sanding plate and segment saw depth stop provide practical, task-specific options.

Ergonomics and Weight

Ergonomics and weight become the practical focus once the accessory system and speed controls are in place, because a tool that is quick to set up still has to feel manageable during longer cuts or sanding sessions. For the Bosch, the stated mass is 1.09kg, and its compact size (30.5 x 6.2 x 8.9cm) supports controlled handling in tight spaces. In use, grip comfort depends on how the body weight shifts as accessories change. The balance is adequate, but extended work could feel tiring.

What's in the Kit

The kit for the cordless tool cordless multifunction is built around a ready-to-use starter bundle, including the main power, key accessories, and a charger. For the Bosch, the scope of supply lists 1 x battery PBA 18V 2.5Ah, ACZ 85 EB, AIZ 32 EPC, and a delta sanding plate 93 mm, plus a delta sanding sheet set. It also includes a 4-stage depth stop for segment saw blades and an AL 1830 CV charger.

Compatibility with Other Tools

Compatibility is an important factor for the cordless tool, because its usefulness depends on what Starlock-style tools and consumables are available for the user's other equipment. For buyers checking This cordless tool listings, the key point is Starlock accessories. The kit includes a Delta sanding plate 93 mm, a delta sanding sheet set, and a four-stage depth stop for segment saw blades, so matching blades and sheets must be compatible. Users can swap accessories quickly via The Bosch, which reduces downtime. If other tools use different mounts, fitting options may be limited (not stated).

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning and maintenance help keep the Bosch 0603104071 AdvancedMulti 18 working smoothly, especially because it uses a 93 mm delta sanding plate and swaps multiple attachments. After each session, check the AutoClic area and remove dust from the vents using a dry brush or cloth. After sanding, wipe the delta sanding plate AVZ 93 G and fit a clean delta sanding sheet set, because grit build-up can reduce finish quality. For segment-saw use, clear debris from the depth stop area, then store the charger and battery PBA 18V 2.5Ah in the case. Do not use wet cleaning.

Who Is This Tool For?

Who is the cordless tool for? This cordless multifunction tool suits tradespeople and serious DIY users who already work with This cordless tool cordless systems, and want quick accessory swaps via AutoClic. It fits work such as sanding with a 93 mm delta sanding plate, and segment-saw tasks with a four-stage depth stop for segment saw blades. The supplied items, including battery PBA 18V 2.5Ah and the AL 1830 CV charger, make it practical for small-to-medium jobs, while it is less suitable for those needing a broader tool capacity beyond the accessories provided.

Where to Buy in the UK

Where can the Bosch be bought in the UK, and what should shoppers check before paying? In the UK, buyers typically locate the cordless tool through major tool retailers and online marketplaces, and it may also be available via local trade suppliers. To secure the best price, shoppers should compare what is included in each bundle, because the scope states a PBA 18V 2.5Ah battery pack and an AL 1830 CV charger, plus a delta sanding plate and sheet set, which is not always guaranteed across listings. Buyers should also confirm the model number matches 0603104071 and check the case details and any Starlock compatibility information, since those points are not always described clearly on product pages.
