When we first heard of barrel grip jig saws, we were pretty skeptical about the comfort and control they could offer, since we were so accustomed to the typical top-handle design. It really was a genuine surprise to feel the difference. The control is amazing, and cutting scrollwork is an absolute delight with this saw, something we can't honestly say about most top-handle models. With this design, it almost feels as if the cutter is an extension of your hand, smooth and responsive. The blade-change system on this Bosch is among the best we've seen: They weren't kidding when they named it the One Touch Blade Change. We like the speed range, from 500 all the way up to 2,800 strokes per minute to handle whatever you need to cut, and the cutting line actually stays clean because of the integrated, adjustable blower (which, we have to say, works better at higher speeds). With the barrel design, there's no trigger; instead, the speed is controlled by a dial on the rear of the tool body. It's a tad clumsy at first when you're used to trigger-controlled speed, but it's a learning curve, and it's worth it. — Kris Jensen-Van Heste

- A pleasure to use
- 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… More reviews
- Great tool
- 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.… More reviews
- Wow!
- 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… More reviews
- Best tool in my garage... and I have a lot of tools!
- 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… More reviews
- Aluminum foot
- 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.… More reviews
