Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 1587AVSP Progressor Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit
Customer Review: Bosch is best; 1587 beats the 1590 for some things
Summary: 4 Stars
I owned the Bosch 1581vs for 20 years before it finally played out (the blade hold mechanism wore out). I looked at other brands (Dewalt, Porter Cable)but decided that the Bosch is the best series available because of blade control and balance. I looked at both the 1590 and the 1587 and had an opportunity to use them in the field before deciding. These are the best two on the market, and both have their pluses and minuses. The deciding factors for me were 2:
1-Weight: The 1587 is lighter and therefore eaiser and more precise to control. I use my jig saw 60% of the time for coping joints. The weight of the 1590 makes it awkward when trying to turn and rotate as you need to do to cope with a jig saw. (I don't use a Collins coping foot).
2-Distance from handle to blade. The 1590 has a taller handle . In addition the blade does not project quite as far as the 1587. This doesn't make much difference until you are using the tiny scroll blade (119 bo) that i need for coping.
The 1590 blade changing mechanism is just simply the best out there today. If I could have combined the two I would have given the result 6 stars! It is also very powerful. Great cabinet shop tool for cutting out sinks, etc. But for the precise work I have to do with a jig saw, I prefer the 1587.
Hope this helps.
Description of Bosch 1587AVSP Progressor Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit
Bosch invented the jig saw, and, with their Progressor top-handle model, they're getting close to perfecting it. The Progressor 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 ShillingSaws Tools
