Very smooth and easy to control
Rating: 5
This is a replacement for an older Bosch jigsaw, which I wouldn't have thought could be improved upon. The JS572EB is super smooth with little vibration, cuts cleanly and fits well in my hands. This saw was made in Switzerland. Expensive, but not on a "per year cost"

Bought 2 saws a few weeks ago to to do a difficult job after 4 of our shop jig saws failed (various makes) The task was cutting several 22"x19"portholes in 3/8 thick 20" diameter steel pipe. After cutting 20+ portholes in the pipes the saws are still like new. We used the T118B blades and found a cut life of 2-8 inches per blade. the auto eject blade feature is great. As a shop we were suprised at how well these saws preformed.

Compact, comfortable and surprisingly powerful
Rating: 5
I have been using this saw for quite some time and feel that it is an invaluable part of my tool collection. It is extremely comfortable to use and the number of blade options provide a multitude of applications for everyday projects from metal and wood to plastics and composites. The price is exceptional given its power and versatility...if you need a saber saw that can do it all....AND is reasonably priced....this is the one to have!!!!!

I got this about a month ago and have used it several times, it is a great saw very smooth easy to keep on the line. I wish the on off switch was in a different location it really requires 2 hands to operate it safely.

Self cutting

I bought this kit a few years ago and learned fairly quickly that if you force the cut you work against yourself. You set this baby down into the cut and guide it because it cuts all by itself. Another tip always secure whatever you're cutting to reduce bounce, because this is a very powerful beast of a saw and it will jump around if you don't clamp your work to something stable. The accessories are great but there are many aftermarket blades that are a valuable addition and the case is just right, keeping the saw and extra accessories secure. This saw is very portable and a must have for any circles in your woodworking.

Plenty of power but...

I almost exclusively invest in Bosch power tools. Adding this Jig Saw to my tool assortment was a no brainer. It's light, powerful and radius cutting is a breeze. The quick-change blade and dust blower features are awesome!
I would give it a perfect 5.0 score if two features were improved:
1. I wish that the LED light functioned only when the toll was actually cutting... it comes on the moment the tool is plugged in. I guess it was designed that way to let you know that the tool is energized???
2. This jig saw needs a trigger type switch... the sliding switch is cumbersome and shutting down the tool in a panic situation is difficult.

I bought this saw knowing it had excellent reviews and was very anxious to use it. I really wanted a barrel type jigsaw and had a top panel jigsaw prior to this, an older model. However real quickly I discovered that this tool definitely had a right hander advantage and would be very difficult to use as a left handed. When you grab the barrel naturally your thumb will be on the right side of the saw if you are left-handed and clearly out of reach of the on off switch which is located on the left side of the saw and not easily operable with your index or middle finger. So reluctantly I returned it however immediately ordered a top handle model, JS572ek. Also an excellent saw
