The professional user buys a power tool to earn a living with it. The three main criteria for his purchase are:

- the machine has to do perfect work

- the machine quality must be right

- the price has to be right

Tools are usually designed for a special job which means that there are many different types of tools on the market with a great variety of versions and models.

The construction must be sturdy, easy to maintain and capable of continuous heavy duty performance. The weight plays only a minor role, for instance, in cases where freehand or overhead work has to be done frequently. Noise, dust emissions and vibrations must be taken into consideration by the manufacturer. Operative capability and high performance reserves are decisive characteristics.

The external appearance is not so important for the professional user, however the tool has to be ergonomically designed to allow untiring work. The packaging is regarded as transport protection, and its aesthetic design is also not important for the tradesman. Power cables on all professional BOSCH power tools are sheathed in rubber since mains cables sheathed in plastic are not allowed in the construction business. (See also DIY power tools)
