Brands Unite with AmpShare

A universal battery platform for cordless tools, AmpShare, is now available in the United States and Canada, following last year’s debut in the European market.

AmpShare is an 18-volt battery system that’s compatible with brands in the AmpShare Alliance, which includes founding partners Bosch Power Tools, Fein, and Rothenberger.

“AmpShare is the creation of our common vision to create power efficiencies for workers, no matter the task at hand, and pushing industry technology forward. It’s a cordless system that professional workers can build on,” Robert Hesse, president and CEO of the Robert Bosch Tool Corp., said in a statement.

Twelve more brands have joined the alliance, including Cox, Honsel, Ledlenser, Mato, MK, Orgapack, PerfectPro, Rexroth, Signode, Streinel, Titan, and Wagner.

AmpShare uses the Bosch 18-volt battery and charger platform that’s been available in the U.S. and Canada for several years. Alliance members are adopting the platform for selected tools.

This is Fein’s second collaboration with Bosch, following their creation of the Starlock universal mounting system for oscillating multi-tools in 2016.

“Through AmpShare, we can strengthen our lineup of cordless tools and reinforce our vision. We look forward to bringing that to users across the North American market throughout 2023,” Bill Craig, president of Fein Power Tools U.S., said in a statement.
