Summary: Worked for 2 minutes...
Comment: I cut one 1"x3" piece of pine and it quit. I really need to send it in for exchange, but I've been too busy. I better hurry before the exchange policy runs out.

Don't buy this!I would have given this no stars if I could have.

Summary: decent saw...no bosch though
Comment: purchased this saw from amazon when the price came down to fifty dollars recently and after receiving and testing... i find the low price not any great bargain but to be about right for this caliber of saw. basically, make no mistake that this saw is not on par with the bosch jigsaws as some reviews have claimed..or on par with the higher end dewalt or milwaukee or ridgid or hitachi saws for that matter. its the quality of materials used that stands out. when you first pick it up the handle that you hold feels like hollow plastic. secondly, the fit of the plastic no-mar tip and dust port on the saw is very poor. and finally my biggest grip is the trigger feels like it belongs on a toy and does not have a smooth pull that i am used to on other saws. in the end though i give the saw 3 stars because it does the job at hand well enough. it does have a good balance too it and overall i do like the blade change mechanism. as well the saw seems to have plenty of power to make the cuts. if you are looking for a jigsaw to use here and there and for odd jobs then this is not a bad purchase at $50..but if you will be using a jigsaw day end day out or even frequently... then dont hesitate to spend a bit more and get by far the best jigsaw made in the bosch 1590.

Summary: Excellent saw - you won't be disappointed!
Comment: This is a well designed saw. My first impression of it was it is heavy, but after using it for a while, I appreciate that weight. It is very easy to control and it has minimal vibration. When I first purchased one, I was concerned by the reviews saying it threw blades constantly. After working with one, I think the problem they are having is they are not pushing the blade in all the way.

There is a spring in the blade lock that you have to compress. If you do not, the lock doesn't completely engage and the blade will pull out with a slight tug. If you pay attention to the position of the twist lock, you can see when it is fully engaged. Once it is locked, it isn't coming out by accident.

I have purchased three of these so far - one for myself, two for friends. I would highly recommend this saw to anyone. Simply put, it makes clean and true cuts.

Summary: High Quality - Great Price!
Comment: We purchased this when it was a gold box feature and got an amazing price for this quality jig saw. We had been borrowing a friend's cheapie jig saw and after using this, I doubt we could ever go back.
