Physical & Build
The GAS 12V is Bosch Professional's 12V handheld vacuum, with a 0.4L container, 15 l/s of airflow and 4.5 kPa of suction at 0.7kg bare; it is sold body only. It is the lighter of the two Bosch Professional handhelds here, a small clean-up tool for vans, cars and fitting-out snags for trades already on the Bosch 12V Professional platform. We rate it a neat compact handheld; the GAS 18V-1 gives 6 kPa of suction and a 0.7L container on 18V, at 1.3kg bare.
