Customer Reviews

I used the jigsaw for a recent remodeling project and it worked well. It cut straight with little effort. The dust blower could use some improvement but what I missed the most was a simple led light like the Makita jigsaws have. It's a good value for the price I paid ($98)with the $20 off Bosh promotion.

I cannot complain about the jigsaw itself. It works great. The problem is with a cutting guide accessory that is needed to make parallel or circle cutting. At this point it is not a sell-able item. According to the Bosch support it will not be available till December 2011.
