Was at a Bosch service outlet over the weekend.  They had
reconditioned  barrel and D handle Bosch 1500s at $139. But what
really caught my eye was the Bosch 4200 for $80.

The salesman/tech said the difference was that the 4200 didn't have
the new CLIC blade holder. Both use Bosch's proprietery bayonet type
blades.  Amperage, foot design, finish, materials, weight were/seemed
identical to the 1500s.

Doeas anyone have any info on the 4200?

He would be wood if he could,
but he's knot.

4300/4301 barrel grips are 119 at Lowe's - identical to the 1584.
