Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just how good is this machine?So good that when Dewalt created their new top-of-the-line jig saw they copied the Bosch nut for nut, bolt for bolt.
Bosch invented the jig saw so they have some experience at getting it right.But the main thing to consider is what is important when buying one.
The Bosch 1587 has several features that make it the top dog.
First, it has heft.This heavy, well-balanced tool rides smoothly on surfaces and combined with an efficient counter-balance mechanism provides smooth cuts and a minimum of vibration.The top handle design further adds to the feeling of lightness and ease of operation despite the tools weight and power.
Secondly, it has different blade stroke patterns in orbital and in-line configurations and a chip blower that can be turned off and on.This, combined with variable speeds, provide for a saw that will take on any challenge.
Another feature that will spoil you in a hurry is the tool-less blade change.There is nothing more frustrating than trying hold a blade and fidling with a screwdriver!With the Bosch, just stick the blade in, turn the top cap three times untill it clicks and you're done.Hint:I leave the cap in the unscrewed position after use.That way when I'm ready to use it again it's near-instantaneous to get going.
This is a professional tool.It's the one I use in my finish carpentry business and it's the one my constituants use in their work.To spend more on a jig saw would be a waste of money.To spend less would be a larger one.
