 This Jig for you. September 5, 2008
I always taught a jig saw is a jig saw. Started getting into some home-improvement work. I had a black & decker jig saw that I was using but the cut wonders all over the place that I would ruin the wood I was working on. I got tired of it and paid someone to take it off my hands. After getting rid of the B&D. I purchase the Bosch JS5 online cause of an article I read highly recomended it. The price was right. After using it the first time. This Jig saw is like another experience from the Jig saw I been using. It cuts straight. It has enough power to cut the wood I'm working with. Have different type of blade I can use to cut wood or metal. The blade is very easy to change. I have'nt had experience using a professional model to see how it would compare to this one. But this Bosch is good enough for me.

This jigsaw runs like a sewing machine. It's plenty powerful and worth every penny. The box was missing the zero-clearance insert, but one call to Bosch service and they sent it in the mail. I was holding out for the 1590, but this one is so much of a leap over my previous saw (Black and Decker from 20 years ago) it's not even funny. The only thing I'd like to see different is some way to use non-bayonet (universal) shank blades, since I have a plexiglas cutting one that now won't fit the Bosch. Overall, an excellent saw.
Phenomenal Product at Competitve Price June 6, 2008
This thing is amazing- it has a ton of power with a lot of precision! The JS5 cut through all types of wood effortlessly, but was smooth and had little vibration. I like the placement of all the controls and really have no complaints thus far. My old jigsaw had a screw that held the blade in place, but this has a tool-less system that allows the blade to be changed with one hand in seconds.
From what I understand this is smaller and lighter than Bosch's 2 other, more expensive jigsaws. I felt like this model would give me better control since it is more compact, which was really a priority for me. The JS5 actually has more power than the 1587, which is approx $20 more, but I'm unsure as to whether or not the 1587 has any additional features. From what I could tell, it seems the 1587 comes with a hard case and some more accessories. The top of the line 1590 has some additional features and more power than the JS5, but since I'm not a pro I couldn't justify spending 50% more.
Compared to other quality jigsaws on the market this is priced competitively and everything I could want in a jigsaw! I upgraded from a $25 Skil jigsaw and this feels like a completely different tool!
