Amazon.com 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.
But here comes Bosch's 1590, and it elevates the outcast jigsaw to the most-wanted list.
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.
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.
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.
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. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

A real FerarriMarch 11, 2008 I'd never owned a jigsaw that didn't end up in the garbage bin ... until this one!
My Bosch 1590 jigsaw offers all the precision and feel I expect from quality machinery. In addition to using it as a crude little reciprocating saw (the most one can expect from many jigsaws on the market), I'm able to carve and sculpt with this one!
Occasionally I've wondered why they didn't include an adjustment for something-or-other ... and then, on investigating, found they had. Well done.
Bosch's easy-to-install blades are excellent, too.
Wow!March 8, 2008 I've dealt with old-fashioned jigsaws before and this one is a whole different breed of cat. No complaints at all, believe me!
Wonderful tool for variety of cutting!January 18, 2008 I bought this tool to do some cutting for my flooring project. It is just perfect & very easy to use.
I even used the saw to cut a 4ft long board along the length (instead of getting a table saw) - it worked perfect. I am very happy with the performance. I bought this based on the other reviews I saw & I am not disappointed.
I have not used other features such as cutting pipes or metal - but I am sure it would do just fine. I wish the manufacturer include a video for instructions on how to use it - now a days, everything is on video. I feel it takes too much time to read manuals & understand. Visual instructions & demo would be perfect for such a versatile tool.
I highly recommend it.
bettre than 5 starsJanuary 9, 2008 this jig saw is underreated i got it for a christmas gift after looking at other options and was not disapointed when i fired it up i wish i could give it more thjan five stars
Excellent Jig SawJanuary 7, 2008 This jig saw was the editor's choice for Popular Woodworking magazine, and I see why. It has many adjustable feeders, is very smooth and blade changes are 2 seconds. I love it and after letting my dad borrow it, he bought one too
