I've owned and used quite a number of different jigsaws over the past 30-some years and never really liked any of them. My attitude was that they were mostly a necessary evil at times, but I usually did anything I could to not use one at all. My old one died a couple of months ago, so I bought a cheap Porter Cable. That PC is a pretty nice little saw, with lots of features that I liked, such as an LED work light, but I didn't like it so much when the going got tough. So, I decided to see if there was any saw capable of doing what I wanted to do. After reading lots of spec sheets, reviews and user opinions, I decided to take a chance on this Bosch unit.
It arrived a couple of days ago and I immediately put it to work on a couple tough jobs. All I could say was WOW!
This Bosch is by far, the most capable, easiest to use jig saw that I've ever had in my hands. There isn't a second or third place finisher in this race, as far as I'm concerned. The power, control over the cuts and comfort with the barrel grip is just what the doctor ordered. It's just a very sweet machine. I've changed my mind on jig saws. I love this little saw.
My only gripes are that it doesn't have an LED work light and it only accepts T-shank blades. No big deal. I'll glue an LED on my forehead and use the Universal blades that I have for the light duty jobs that the PC can handle. Maybe..... Dunno if I ever want to use the PC again, instead of this Bosch, so those blades might just turn to rust before they are ever used.
Dunno why many of these top end tools don't have LED work lights. I have a couple of new tools that have them and they are useful at times, like when working under the kitchen counter. Regardless, I love this little saw. Did I mention that?
