Bosch Power Tools Jigsaw Kit - JS572EK - 7.2 Amp Corded Variable Speed Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit with Assorted Blades and Carrying Case

Smooth action, better than average blade guide, easy blade change and variable speed. Straight cuts until I tried cutting some MDF. Not sure if that was the MDF or user error, but no problems with real lumber or plywood. Only complaint is the light button is a bit hard to activate - seems recessed too far under the rubber dust boot. Not sure why Bosch couldn't make the light activate with the trigger switch. Pricey compared to the competition - made it a tough choice, but it was replacing a decades old Craftsman, so I didn't have anything current to compare it to. Decided on this after reading several tool test reviews.

I bought this to replace a 15 year old Bosch jigsaw that I had completely worn out. I went with the more expensive model because of bosch’s new technology that is supposed to help keep the blade held more rigidly. This was one of the reasons I liked the Bosch jigsaw in the first place, if they had improved even more, I’m here for it! I do custom carpentry and I often make things in the field that others would make in the shop- and probably use a bandsaw for. First look- It’s lighter than my old unit, there’s some plastic exterior where the older one had metal, and the plastic shoe that was removable on the old saw is screwed in place on the new one. But- higher amperage, quieter, super smooth operation, same super long cord, neat cord stress management, LED LIGHTS (Hallelujah!!!) I made a few straight cuts with it and was impressed. Then I sent it with my padre a to spend nearly two full work days cutting out large radius patterns out of 3/4 advantech to make trusses for a barrel ceiling. I was disappointed to see a little wane in some of his cuts- but on further inspection he had bent the included Bosch blade and just kept using it. I swapped it out for a more aggressive and stiff festool blade and things improved dramatically. Very nice saw. It’s got a fairly hefty price tag, but if it lasts as long as my last one It’ll be the only brand I ever buy.

I replaced my old cheap Black & Decker saw, with this one from Bosch. Great saw....Pricy, however this one is definitely the Cadillac of Sabre saws!

I started looking at getting a jigsaw right after Christmas, to be used on a home improvement project in the late spring or summer. I like getting good tools for current projects so they'll be around for other uses afterward. I had in mind to get a Bosch JS470E, or maybe (preferred option, if I could find one for sale) a used 1590EVS, the last of the Swiss-made top-of-line jigsaws that preceded the JS572. While doing that research, I noticed Amazon had the JS572EK on sale, in a Bosch plastic case, 33% off list, which was only $15 more than the JS470E, and less than I could find a 10-year-old 1590EVS on eBay in what I could only hope was good shape. So I spent a little more than planned and got the JS572. That seems to have been a flash sale: the price was back to normal a day later. It wasn't sold as renewed, all packaging and paperwork was as new, and there was no sign of use, so I believe it was new product. I've only done some test cuts in construction-grade 1/2" plywood and mystery-wood 2x4's, but am really impressed with how smooth it is. I look forward to more experience when the project begins. I also bought the Bosch JA1011 Steel Overshoe, and the plastic shoe extension after reading reviews.

Premium jigsaw, used to cut 3/4 plywood. Made two full size nativity scenes, it powered right thu even on long cuts, plus the light is helpful.

This product is fine. It does not run as smooth as my original Bosh jigsaw. That thing was amazing. But it is much easier to change the blade and has some nicer features. So all in all it is a nice piece of equiptment.

I am blown away with this jigsaw! I was stuck as my SKILSAW had missing pieces and I did not want to bother finding the parts for it. Luckily this Bosch Power Tools Jigsaw Kit was all I needed with the addition of longer precision blades to get through the thickness of the wood for the Pergola I was building for my daughter. It's light enough for me so that I don't get tired holding it and super precise in its cutting aspects. It was between this D style handle and the Barrel handle. I chose the D Style as I felt I would have more control in awkward spaces. I also did not want any loss of power at any time so I went with the dedicated power cord instead of the battery charged model, and it made it a lighter load and so tiring to operate as well.

My husband actually uses the saw. I am the "project helper". We really like this saw. It has a light so that you can see what you are cutting. The power is perfect for the do it yourselfers. It came with a hard shell case to protect and carry it. Bosch is a very well-known name in tools. The saw is very well made and with proper care should last for many years.

excelente calidad modelo tope de gama Bosch en sierras caladoras 1000% recomendable

La calidad de la herramienta es de 100%, no te vas a equivocar con esta maquina bosch lo que si es que me quedo debiendo al soplar el aserrín cuando cortas, me gusta ver bien el corte cuando trabajo y al no soplar bien el aserrín se complica

It was a tough choice between the “Makita 4350 FTC and the Bosch JS532 E. After a lot of research and evaluation it became very obvious that Bosch was superior. The Product is exactly as the majority of the reviewers have mentioned. Very powerful and precise tool that could easily handle a variety of cuts, especially finite cuts and tricky curve cuts. The tool handles very smoothly and blade control is unbelievably solid thanks to the double rollers. Only one small con to mention is that this tool is extremely loud. Ear plugs are highly recommended. Overall I give it four and a half stars. Highly professional, best in class! Very satisfied customer

It feels like a well tuned sewing machine for cutting. I’ve cut aluminum like butter, marine plywood easily and perfectly. For the price it wouldn’t kill them to throw in a few jig attachments and vacuum attachment. However overall quality? It’s a very very nice tool to have.

I was always reluctant to pick up my old B&D jigsaw as it was a constant struggle. This tool is outstanding and powerful. It is very accurate. I am now turning to it for jobs I normally relegated to other machines. The only thing is it is a bit heavy.
