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.p But here comes Bosch's 1590, and it elevates the outcast jigsaw to the most-wanted list. p 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. p 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. p 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.p 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. i--Kris Jensen-Van Heste/ip bWhat's in the Box/bbr Precision wood blade, progressor wood blade, tight kerf blade, zero-clearance insert, non-marring footplate, carrying casep

 Hot Tools! November 21, 2008

I like this saw with all it's neat features, but have a serious complaint. The face and the insulated handle on the saw that I purchased got extremely hot. I know of other's (one's a co-worker) who ran into a similar problem. Bosch say's it may be because of the big motor but who knows. I switched it out at Woodcraft and ran into the same problem. I ended up returning it all together

I love the changing blade feature. The blades can be changed in literally br /seconds. The balance is OK and the cutting is superb. Changing the angle is incredibly simple and fast. Finally, some engineers got it right on this br /model.

Easy order and very timely delivery for my son-in-law's birthday. With the blades he has an operational tool that he seems to like and use a lot. Thanks.
 Great - with one small complaint October 25, 2008

This saw is so much better than what I had before that I didn't know such performance was possible. Smooth fast cuts, and minimal vibration. Blade changes are a snap. br / br /Downside? 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. Oddly, the blade seemed straighter after a few dozen cuts.
A pleasure to use October 18, 2008

My old Skil jigsaw was 10+ years old. I had no idea how much better a jig saw could be. 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. br / br /The instruction manual is excellent due to its clear and concise information. The storage/carrying case is well designed and has enough space for the cord to fit without undue hassle.
