Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 1587AVSK 5 Amp Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit

Customer Review: Don't buy this hunk of trash!
Summary: 1 Stars

I owned this piece of junk for about 2 years and only used it for light jobs maybe 5-10 times a year at most. The black knob on the handle that tightens the blade is a joke because it pops off all the time and is poorly designed. Recently the trigger only intermittently worked and the variable speed feature stopped working which made cutting metal a nightmare. I've been a long time user of Bosch tools and I expected much more from them. To be fair I've never had a problem with any of my other Bosch tools. Maybe I should have paid for the higher end model. Quite disappointing given how little I used this Jigsaw. Finally got so fed up I tossed this hunk of junk in the dumpster.

Description of Bosch 1587AVSK 5 Amp Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit

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
