It's oft said that a bad workman blames his tools, yeah, well, it's possible that they are just rubbish tools. I've been steadily putting together a garden workshop and upgrading my tools as I've gone along. Even with the diy shop own brand stuff I've done ok for a hobbyist but seemed to be totally incapable of getting a decent plumb curve cut with a jigsaw...then I bought this! Wowzer McWowzer, I knew I could do it! One of the last power tools I upgraded was the occasional use jigsaw and now I'm trying to think of how to make everything I do have a smooth curve cut in it. The tool itself is on the weighty side but good golly miss molly, it's accurate. The base plate is sturdy and the whole thing is surprisingly smooth to use and as with all the bosch tools I now own, really nice in the hand. Rather than ragging it's way through stuff it just nibbles away like a beaver with the weight being a blessing for control not a hindrance. The dust blower works well and blade change is ridiculously easy. If I sound to be gushing it's only because I knew all along that I had a good eye and a steady hand but jigsaw use was beyond me. Great machine, great results and a box to store it in! Read more

Inside the box you get: 1: A better saw than most people will ever need. 2: A clear clip on dust extractor shroud (treat it carefully, it should last years). 3: A clear anti-chip plate (these are consumables, easy to use, easy to find and inexpensive if you find you like them) 4: A black plastic dust extraction nozzle (supplied fitted, it is no hardship to leave on the saw even if you don't hook it up). 5: A simple manual, lots of pictograms, supports lots of languages. 6: One sample Bosch multi purpose blade. These are about £1 each, worth every penny. People complain that you only get one...honestly the saw is where the money went. There are no lasers, if you want a LED, put a torch on the bench. Instead of gimmicks, you get quality engineering. When you pick the saw up, it feels like it means business before you even plug it in. Feeding it a blade and electricity confirms that this is very well made machine. The variable speed trigger is really well implemented on this saw, the blade change is very simple and quick ( Bosch invented the jigsaw, and the SDS blade change system). The shoe is steel, very sturdy, no sharp edges (and is easily covered in masking tape if you are cutting laminate). Even the power cable is very good quality. The case is sturdy, big enough to hold the saw and the supplied accessories without having to try hard to make it all fit in. It should be noted that the case is not the latest 'l-boxx' design, and this is not a bad thing: the l-boxx is designed to stack and link together so that lots of tools can be transported on a dolly... If you want to hand carry, then the l-boxx design is somewhat flawed: the box is so wide it hits your legs unless you hold it at arms length, not comfortable for any length of time. *Top tip* Don't forget to register online with Bosch online to get the full 3 year warranty. I'm using this mainly to cut wood: I would recommend the Bosch Robust Blades for wood. Read more

Part of professional series the build quality and feel is quite sturdy. It comes with 144D blade pack of 5 which is good for soft and hard wood so you can start work immediately. The dust extraction set is misnomer it's just an extraction pipe attachable in assembly. Overall good product. Note, do not use same blades for metal or stone, check Bosch website Read more
