Bosch 1587AVSK Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit
Bosch invented the jig saw, and, with its top-handle models, it's getting close to perfecting it. The 1587AVSK has a nicely shaped handle, tapered where other saws are not, and a nice rubber grip that lets users (of all hand sizes) steer the tool firmly in hand. (Some toolmakers ignore ergonomics, but not Bosch--and we appreciate it.) The safety mechanism works well with the trigger, and the cut is super smooth. We like the variable-speed dial, the light weight, and the foot plate's plastic cover, which ensures that surfaces won't get scratched as they can by saws with metal plates. The blade-change system--if a little tricky at first--works great. No question about it, this jig saw keeps up Bosch's reputation as one of the prime movers in the power tool industry. --Michael Shilling

Bosch 1587AVSK Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit Reviews
I bought mine back in 98. Anyone getting into any type of carpentry or fabrication should buy this as there 1st saw and they will be very please with it for years to come. I prefer this model over the long skinny screw driver model because I know I would have lost that screw driver ten years ago. I have used it frequently and still works like new.
This jig saw is top of the line. You won't be disappointed. Very good product, with the quality you would expect from Bosch.
The $50 extra is well worth it. The 1590EVSK has a much better blade-change system, substantially more power, a better shoe tilt mechanism, a shorter shoe projection in front (you can cut closer), and FEELS a lot more high-quality.
bought my first bosch jigsaw in 2002, still in perfect running order. Seems everything these days is made there. Could not pass up the good deal found online, however dissapointed my newly purchased saw was made in china.
