Average Customer Ratings:

This is the barrel-grip version of Bosch's bestselling top-handle 1587 model. Many woodworkers prefer the barrel grip on this model, however, arguing that it's easier to cut scrolls and curves when the saw is pushed forward (as opposed to down). Aside from the difference in grip, this saw is much like its top-handle counterpart: the balance is superb, the 5 amp motor packs plenty of power, the foot plate tilts left and right (up to 45 degrees), and the base retracts for flush cutting. The tool-free blade-changing system also works well. Simply put, this a compact, powerful, well-designed saw--a perfect buy for users who prefer barrel grips. --Jon Groebner

Summary: Nice Jig Saw
Comment: Bought this for coping crown molding with the collins coping foot. It's nice. The only thing for me, because I am using this upside down to cut the molding, is that the metal housing gets a little hot when I've got it cutting for a while. Not a bad thing because I am holding it in a way not directly the way it was designed for use.

I like it.

Summary: Best jig saw you will ever own
Comment: Bosch is the standard by which all other jig saw makers judge themselves. This in itself pretty much says it all. Once you use this tool, you will understand what that means.
I prefer the barrel grip b/c it is easier for me to control. However, the handle model has all the same features, just a different grip configuration, so the choice is purely a personal one.
This saw cuts through almost anything like butter. There is very little vibration. These features pair up to make your control over the tool excellent, and that is what you get a jig saw for!
Changing blades is quick and easy. Changing the base angle is a snap.
If you are looking for a jig saw you are going to have for a long time, then this is the tool to get.

Summary: Wonderful, but a bit big
Comment: I bought this saw and have used it a lot in refurbishing an old house. It is a powerful and excellent saw and it cuts exceptionally true even through very thick stock. The only problem some people might have with it is that it is quite large and heavy. I have large hands so this is not a serious problem but thank God I did not buy the even larger Bosch model which is REALLY huge! Also, changing blades is a pain if you do not do it all the time since the procedure is overly complicated. No wonder they put it on the barrel of the saw!

Summary: Bosch Barrel Grip Jigsaw
Comment: This is the second barrel grip jigsaw I've owned by Bosch. I really like this style. I was surprised to still be able to find these available. I can remember using these back in the 90's and on the job we didn't want to touch another jig. In fact my friend cared for this tool like it was a child always boxing it up when finished. On a construction site most tools just get plopped in the tool box.

I was always surprised no one else really copied this style. I think Makita makes a similar design but apples to apples they don't compare in my opinion. I seem to remember the Makita being much heavier and expensive. Bosch really did right when they designed these. My old one still worked fine,..the only thing I had done on it was the old on the job cord replacement. That's when you chop an extension cord and give your tool a new lease on life the fast way.

The only jig currently on the market for me!

Summary: Great!!!
Comment: I have to admit I was shocked how much easier it was to control this saw with the barrel grip. There is only one thing I would change, although minor, it would be nice if the variable speed control was located on the front of the saw. Overall I would highly recommend this product to both the weekend warrior and the profesional contactor / master carpenter. You will not be dissapointed.
