Bosch “direct connect” retro-fit kit?
Has anybody tried to retrofit their Bosch or Skil worm-drive circ saw with the “direct connect” retro-fit kit made by Bosch? If so, was it easy to install and how do you like it?

Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

I don't particularily like the direct connect.
Your cord has to have a good fitting plug and mine welded the cord up and it was almost impossible to fix I had to break the round collar to get it free.

I put the handle on my old Mag. It's been a while, but I don't remember it being difficult.
Havent done the retro kit but I have the Bosch CS10 and I like the direct connect. A couple of people that work with me say they like it too.
Probably has nothing to do with your original question, but i'm in the mood to talk (type).
