Summary: A pleasure to use
Comment: I used to be a union carpenter, 22 years, but got into other business for a dozen years or so. Back in the day the Bosch jig saw was all that we used. I did all comercial work, a lot of metal cutting. The Bosch would cut steel raised floor panels all day long without a wimper. After My dozen years in the Tavern business I am back doing construction, handyman type things. Not necessarily real small jobs, but certainly diverse.
A couple of years ago I bought a Bosch knock-off jig saw made by Grizzly. Not a bad saw for the price, but definately not a Bosch. I got a job where I was going to have to do some rather fancy cuts requiring a jig saw so I decided to acquire a new Bosch. I had never used a barrel grip before but it seemed it would be even more controlable than the handled type. I love it. Easy to control, square cuts, very low vibration, easy blade changes. Great tool. Took a little getting used to the power switch, but not a problem.
This is the top end of jig saws, accurate, powerful, smooth. A pleasure to use, highly recommended.

Summary: Great tool
Comment: I purchased this jigsaw about a year ago to make a large project from 3/4" plywood. I was easily able to make any cut I needed. It performs very well with Bosch blades that are appropriate to the material. I would definitely recommend this tool to anybody.
Customer Rating: Summary: Wow!
Comment: This saw rocks! I bought it to cut decorative ends in some framing lumber for an outdoor project. Material changed to pressure treated during the planning stage. I was amazed at how effortlessly it made the cuts. The saw is on the heavy side, which I found to be a benefit. It helped dampen vibration. The blower didn't keep up with the wet pt saw dust, but that didn't surprise me. Only downside (if you can call it that) was that I pulled the saw out of a curve I was making and the blade hit the board so hard, it actually bent the blade! I blame that more on operator error than the tool's fault, but its something to keep in mind.
Customer Rating: Summary: Best tool in my garage... and I have a lot of tools!
Comment: I honestly do not know what I'd do without this jig saw. I've always hated jig saws, proabably due to ones I've owned in the past that have been terrible. With the right blades and settings, this jigsaw is one of the most versatile tools I've ever owned. I've used it to trim laminate flooring (laminate blade), cut through plywood (rough wood blade), trim fencing (fine cut wood blade), and many other items. It is very natural to hold in almost any position needed. The only downside is that it could be too heavy for constant cutting above your head. Maybe I need to work out more, but it's definitely a heavy-duty jig saw that can deal with almost anything you throw at it (with the right blade on it!).
Customer Rating: Summary: Aluminum foot
Comment: Everything about this tool is great,... except the foot. After a year of steady use the Aluminum cast foot has bent out of shape and the notch that ensures a 90 degree angle has snapped off.
