According to Bosch
http://www.boschtools.com/tools/tool...31&I=55110&T=1.
the 4412 is made in Taiwan. I was just about to spend a serious chunk of
money on one when I noticed
the CoE while checking on the weight. I'd presumed it was Swiss - and only a
one year warranty. Is the
one year standard for tools these days? And do I care where it's made if it
says Bosch on the label?

I don't know if you care or not. I don't. Until you mentioned it, I had no idea
where my 4412 was made. I've had the 4412 for 5-6 months now, use it weekly (at
least), and am more than satisfied with it.

I've heard hints that a laser version is on the way (and I'm curious as to how
Bosch will implement this, though I'm not drooling over laser indicators on
most tools...the Delta and Porter-Cable dual line versions are great, but the
rest are mediocre), but otherwise, it does everything that any other top end
12" SCMS will do, and does it all easily.
