Mt. Prospect, Ill., (Nov. 5, 2019) – Bosch Power Tools is kicking off its biggest contest to date today with “Break Up 2 Trade Up”, an interactive initiative that invites contestants throughout the U.S. to share why they are willing to cut ties with their current battery platforms. A total of 1,000 winners will be selected to receive a lucrative prize package that includes a Bosch CORE18V battery kit and their choice of seven leading tools.

Powering the contest is the game-changing Bosch CORE 18V battery. Equipped with advanced Lithium-ion technology, it delivers 80 percent more battery life than the company’s previous generation power sources. The new lightweight version is 100 percent Bosch power tool and charger compatible, and features a CoolPack design that maintains a low temperature much longer while delivering maximum power.

“Your battery should be a reliable asset, not a source of frustration on the job site,” said Greg Henderson, Bosch director of brand marketing. “Anyone working in the trades will agree that the power source is just as crucial to a project as the actual tool. Our Break Up 2 Trade Up Contest gives participants a fun opportunity to share how a better battery will help them get the job done.”

Contestants can enter for their chance to win starting Tuesday, Nov. 5, by posting a brief video to Instagram explaining why they are ready to move on from their current battery platform. They must tag @BoschToolsNA and use the hashtag #TradeUpContest to officially submit their entry. The contest concludes at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 21. It is open to U.S. residents only. Contestants must be 18 years old or older to enter. Visit www.boschtradeupcontest.com for full rules and additional information.

Help Bosch spread the word by Tweeting: @BoschToolsNA is giving away 1,000 CORE18V Breakup Kits. Enter to win the battery and your power tool pick by posting a short video on Instagram explaining why you’re ready to part ways with your battery platform.
