Product Description

From the Manufacturer
This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new conditions. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Bosch has beaten down the price of its standard 1587 jig saw and included a case. The saw's high-efficiency motor provides more power for the most-demanding cut while the dust blower clears the cut line, shutting off for metal cutting. Features include linear counterbalance, an adjustable footplate that tilts left and right up to 45 degrees, a base that retracts for flush cutting, and a top handle that gives extra control under heavy load. This kit includes three assorted blades, plastic case, an anti-splintering device, a hex key, and a carrying case.

Customer Reviews

Anyone who uses tools for a living knows that there are tools recognized as undeniably the best, and this is one of them. As far as Jig saws go this one stands alone. The other model with automatic blade lock is lacking in how tightly the blade is fixed , and therefore cannot be recommended. Smooth is the word, both the way it runs and the cuts it makes. In a past life I cut letters out of plywood for signage, as demanding as it get for jigsaw work,and this one never let me down. Slap in a fine finish blade and you barely need to sand... Now days I cut out sink openings, radius deck corners, do cut outs in decking and subfloors. Everytime I use my Bosch, I marvel at how well it is made,how wonderfully it runs, and what a good investment it was.

Nice saw with a good feel and plenty of power. The blade stays straight and cuts are smooth. The trigger is very precise allowing virtually any speed range between off and full on. The black pull up blade changing handle pops off almost every time I change a blade and being made of a rigid PA6 GF resin I'm waiting for it to break. I hope it does not since such a simple piece of plastic would render the saw worthless in an instant. Take care and some extra seconds when changing blades.
