It?s a funny thing about jigsaws; most of us tend to reach for another tool in its stead, having had less-than-great experiences with the little beasts. But here comes Bosch?s 1590, and it elevates the outcast jigsaw to the most-wanted list. The first thing we liked about this saw is its heft; it?s beefy, solid and made with that famous Swiss quality. You wrap your hand around the soft, substantial grip, squeeze the ample trigger and the soft-start whirs gently; with hardly any effort from you, the blade slices through whatever?s ahead of it. Perhaps because it?s heavier than most jigsaws, there?s practically zero vibration, giving you a delightfully smooth, no-buzz experience, something pretty much unheard of in your average jigsaw. Another nice feature is the speed mechanism: Set your maximum speed on the trigger dial, then control your speed up to that max by squeezing the trigger. On long cuts, you can lock the trigger on, too, and the blower actually does keep your cutline clear. If that?s all this saw had going for it, that would be enough for us. But coolest of all is the blade-change system that literally ejects the blade in a split second, takes the new one and gets you right back to your cutting ? all tool-free. Amazing. If you?ve relegated the jigsaw to the bottom of your toolbox, you owe it to yourself to give this one a chance. We think it?s fantastic. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste What?s in the Box

Bosch 1590EVSK 6.4 Amp Top Handle Jigsaw Reviews
Easy order and very timely delivery for my son-in-law's birthday. Thanks. With the blades he has an operational tool that he seems to like and use a lot.
Smooth fast cuts, and minimal vibration. Downside. This saw is so much better than what I had before that I didn't know such performance was possible. Oddly, the blade seemed straighter after a few dozen cuts. The blade holder was not quite parallel to the body of the saw when I received it, and the manual doesn't give any way to adjust it. Blade changes are a snap.
The storage/carrying case is well designed and has enough space for the cord to fit without undue hassle. My old Skil jigsaw was 10+ years old. I had no idea how much better a jig saw could be. The instruction manual is excellent due to its clear and concise information. The Bosch is powerful and has several nice features like the precision guide, no tool required blade change, blower to blow chips away, and positive lock for angled cuts.
This works quite well in giving a smooth cut, but buy a couple of extras, as the clear plastic insert is only pressure fit into the saw foot and can easily be lost. The sawdust blower feature is a real plus. Another nice accessory is the zero-clearance insert that also functions is an anti-shatter plate. This saw is much superior to my old Craftsman that died. It absorbs the cutting vibration, which greatly improves control. However, it has held up so far. The only detractor I found was the saw guide could be more robust. Should you buy this saw I recommend you buy the JA1003 saw guide and JA1005 Dust Pick up kit at the same time as they are not included.
It cuts straight because of the blade holding mechanisim. It is a very powerful saw and has no trouble with any wood type. This saw was worth every penny paid. This is a dream come true. My old saw would let the blade bend slightly and therefore cut unsquare.
