 Do I really need it? February 12, 2010
Chuck (Kansas City, MO usa)
The Case came as part of the package. I do like to keep things together so planned to keep it in the Case. I quickly learned that putting every thing back in the case was a bit of a project. I don't take tools out of my shop and I found that it was impractical for me to use the case. For the person going from job to job, it is tough, protects the router and accessories for set up very well. I wound up getting rid of my case because I was not using it and it took up shop space.

I ordered the Bosch 1618EVS D-handle router and wanted a case to store it and miscellaneous accessories in. The case is solid and sturdy, but it would be better if the designer simply thought about what came with the router and how can the case accommodate the storage for that gear. The router came with the wrenches, 1/2" and 1/4" collet, extra base plate screws, template guide adapter, and manual.
The case was designed perfectly for the router and the wrenches, but no designated space for the extra collet, screws, template guide adapter and manual. I would also like to see storage for Bosch templates. For me, the space for the router bits is a waste as I keep those in a separate box. I do like the space for the edge guide, but you almost have to disassemble it to fit it into the case.
Again it is a good solid case that will protect your router, but it could of been designed better.
 Big on storage February 18, 2007

The case I ordered for my second router does the job....I was surprised to see that it's thicker then the case for the combo (same router with a 2nd plunge base), but it has more options to store extra bits as well. Not much to say except I like to keep my tools protected when not in use and well organized...this one works the way it should.
Bosch...keep up the good work....I wish they had storage cases for all their products.

Seems silly to write a review on a box, but this is such a cool one, I have to. An afterthought purchase to make the amount of the order go over [price], it turned out to be the next best thing to the router that it fits, plus it holds about a gazillion router bits and all the odds and ends for the machine. Buy it -- it's worth every penny and more.

I was very happy with everything about my new Bosch 1617EVS router except the fact that it didn't come with a case. (My workshop doubles as my garage, so everything has to get put away every so often, so my wife can park her car in the "garage.") Originally, I wasn't happy about having to pay extra for this case, but when the item arrived, I got over the initial sticker shock.The case is very solidly built and wide enough that it won't tip over if you hit it with something. (That's a problem with a lot of the other plastic tool cases I have.) Inside, it has space for the router as well as collet wrenches and a number of 1/2" and 1/4" bits. Interestingly, the case holds the router upside down -- but since that's how my routers spend most of their time when they're not in the cases, I guess they're used to it. If you have a 1617 or 1618 router and need to transport it or just want to keep it out of harm's way, you can't do better than this attractive, sturdy, and functional case.
