Bosch GGP 18V-32 Professional Cordless Pruner, 32 mm, Bare Tool - 06008D8200

Bosch GGP 18V-32 Professional Cordless Pruner, Bare Tool

The Bosch GGP 18V-32 Professional is a cordless pruner on the Bosch Professional 18 V system that cuts branches up to 32 mm with one pull of the trigger. It replaces hand secateurs exactly where they become punishing - a whole row of vines, an orchard, a hedge, when cuts are counted in thousands and the wrist is the first thing to give out.

One kilogram is the whole difference

The machine weighs 1 kg without a battery. For a tool held up all day and carried down the rows, that is the deciding number - more so than cutting capacity. The handle is soft-gripped and pistol-shaped, so the weight sits in the palm rather than the fingers. With a 2.0 Ah pack the whole thing stays under 1.5 kg.

Bypass cutting and a DC53 blade

The cutting system is bypass - the two blades pass each other like scissors instead of pressing the branch against an anvil. This is the system for live wood: the cut is clean, the bark is not crushed, and the wound heals instead of becoming an entry point for fungus. The blade is DC53 tool steel, a cold-work grade with high hardness and wear resistance, which means the edge holds through a season rather than a week.

Over 8,000 cuts per charge

Bosch rates it at over 8,000 cuts with a 4.0 Ah battery. For scale: that is the order of a whole row of vines in a day without changing packs. The recommended minimum is 2.0 Ah - a far more modest requirement than a chainsaw, because a pruner draws current in short bursts rather than continuously.

Quiet in use

Sound pressure is 58 dB(A) and sound power 66 dB(A). That is conversation level, not machine level: you can work in a garden, close to neighbours and early in the morning, without ear defenders and without waking the street.

What "bare tool" means

Article 0 600 8D8 200 is the version without battery and without charger, in a cardboard box. It is intended for people already on Bosch Professional 18 V batteries, which are common to the whole blue 18 V range.
