Bosch Power Tool's new X-Lock angle grinder lock interface makes wheel exchanges incredibly fast and simple!

Bosch holds this as the ultimate changing system for grinders, the Bosch X-Lock grinder interface ejects wheels with just a lever pull, and fresh wheels can be attached without the need for any other tools. The X-Lock grinding wheels are also compatible with grinders that have standard 7/8″ mounts.

There is no doubt that the new Bosch X-Lock interface works. Wheel changes are fast, efficient and secure. We cannot argue that this is a serious upgrade from the current interface we all use. The question is will all the other manufacturers start to offer this?

In order for the Bosch Power Tool's X-Lock interface to live, it must become the new norm for all the manufacturers, not just Bosch. Aftermarket consumable makers must also see this as the only way to make new products. Premiums for this interface must remain small.

Will other companies license this from Bosch Power Tools? What strategy do they have in place for the X-Lock to take over?

There are a lot of questions that will be answered in the next year as we see where this new interface takes us. Let us know what you think in the comments!
