Editorial Reviews:

Bosch invented the jig saw, and, with its top-handle models, it's getting close to perfecting it. The 1587AVSK has a nicely shaped handle, tapered where other saws are not, and a nice rubber grip that lets users (of all hand sizes) steer the tool firmly in hand. (Some toolmakers ignore ergonomics, but not Bosch--and we appreciate it.) The safety mechanism works well with the trigger, and the cut is super smooth. We like the variable-speed dial, the light weight, and the foot plate's plastic cover, which ensures that surfaces won't get scratched as they can by saws with metal plates. The blade-change system--if a little tricky at first--works great. No question about it, this jig saw keeps up Bosch's reputation as one of the prime movers in the power tool industry. --Michael Shilling

Summary: Ten Years
Comment: I had an equipment rental business for ten years. This is the jigsaw I rented. The same one for ten years, no breakdowns, no problems. After all that time and abuse it still cut perfectly. I sold the business and as far as I know that same jigsaw is still being rented out.

Summary: an essential tool
Comment: I bought mine back in 98. I have used it frequently and still works like new. I prefer this model over the long skinny screw driver model because I know I would have lost that screw driver ten years ago. Anyone getting into any type of carpentry or fabrication should buy this as there 1st saw and they will be very please with it for years to come.

Summary: Wonderful Piece of Machinery
Comment: It takes a while and repeated reading to understand how to change the blades, but once learned, it is quick, easy, safe, and blades lock securely. That aside, the saw is a well made piece of smooth machinery which runs flawlessly and allows precise cuts. There is no wobble or vibration. The heft of this piece of equipment makes its operation smooth, although the size may make sharp zig zags more cumbersome than what may be enjoyed with a smaller unit. This was my first Bosch purchase, and it made me a Bosch fan.

Summary: Forget about this one, buy the 1590EVSK.
Comment: The $50 extra is well worth it. The 1590EVSK has a much better blade-change system, substantially more power, a better shoe tilt mechanism, a shorter shoe projection in front (you can cut closer), and FEELS a lot more high-quality!

Summary: Sold Out
Comment: bought my first bosch jigsaw in 2002, still in perfect running order. Could not pass up the good deal found online, however dissapointed my newly purchased saw was made in china. Seems everything these days is made there.
