Editorial Review:

This is the barrel-grip version of Bosch's bestselling top-handle 1587 model. Many woodworkers prefer the barrel grip on this model, however, arguing that it's easier to cut scrolls and curves when the saw is pushed forward (as opposed to down). Aside from the difference in grip, this saw is much like its top-handle counterpart: the balance is superb, the 5 amp motor packs plenty of power, the foot plate tilts left and right (up to 45 degrees), and the base retracts for flush cutting. The tool-free blade-changing system also works well. Simply put, this a compact, powerful, well-designed saw--a perfect buy for users who prefer barrel grips. --Jon Groebner

best jig saw:

I have been in the carpentry field for over 30 years, this is the best jig saw I have ever used.

Nice Jig Saw:

Bought this for coping crown molding with the collins coping foot. It's nice. The only thing for me, because I am using this upside down to cut the molding, is that the metal housing gets a little hot when I've got it cutting for a while. Not a bad thing because I am holding it in a way not directly the way it was designed for use.
I like it.

Best jig saw you will ever own:

Bosch is the standard by which all other jig saw makers judge themselves. This in itself pretty much says it all. Once you use this tool, you will understand what that means.
I prefer the barrel grip b/c it is easier for me to control. However, the handle model has all the same features, just a different grip configuration, so the choice is purely a personal one.
This saw cuts through almost anything like butter. There is very little vibration. These features pair up to make your control over... more info

Wonderful, but a bit big:

I bought this saw and have used it a lot in refurbishing an old house. It is a powerful and excellent saw and it cuts exceptionally true even through very thick stock. The only problem some people might have with it is that it is quite large and heavy. I have large hands so this is not a serious problem but thank God I did not buy the even larger Bosch model which is REALLY huge! Also, changing blades is a pain if you do not do it all the time since the procedure is overly complicated. No wonder they put it... more info
