About 2 years ago I bought the highly recommended Bosch Colt. Loved it, it's very handy for a lot of little jobs very a bigger router is a pain to use. About a year later I started having problems with the spindle lock button. It seems to be a common problem. I found out that if you contacted Bosch they would send you a wrench to lock the spindle. I did and they did. Back in business for a little while. Recently I went to use the Colt and found that the supplied wrench was just rounding off the flats on the spindle. Now I can't get the collett nut off. I don't have it tightened excessively, but without a way to lock the spindle I can't do anything.
To add insult to injury the bit stuck in the Colt isn't one that I have much use for. It's a small core box bit. If it was a round-over or chamfer bit that would be better.
I don't know if it's worth contacting Bosch about this problem. It definitely isn't user error or over-use. But the router is over two years old and I am sure any warranty has expired at least a few days ago.
