It's a funny thing about jigsaws; most of us tend to reach for another tool in its stead, having had less-than-great experiences with the little beasts. But here comes Bosch's 1590, and it elevates the outcast jigsaw to the most-wanted list. The first thing we liked about this saw is its heft; it's beefy, solid and made with that famous Swiss quality. You wrap your hand around the soft, substantial grip, squeeze the ample trigger and the soft-start whirs gently; with hardly any effort from you, the blade slices through whatever's ahead of it. Perhaps because it's heavier than most jigsaws, there's practically zero vibration, giving you a delightfully smooth, no-buzz experience, something pretty much unheard of in your average jigsaw. Another nice feature is the speed mechanism: Set your maximum speed on the trigger dial, then control your speed up to that max by squeezing the trigger. On long cuts, you can lock the trigger on, too, and the blower actually does keep your cutline clear. If that's all this saw had going for it, that would be enough for us. But coolest of all is the blade-change system that literally ejects the blade in a split second, takes the new one and gets you right back to your cutting - all tool-free. Amazing. If you've relegated the jigsaw to the bottom of your toolbox, you owe it to yourself to give this one a chance. We think it's fantastic. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste What's in the Box

Outstanding jigsaw August 21, 2008
The Bosch 1590EVSK is an excellent general purpose jigsaw. It is manufactured in Switzerland unlike lower cost Bosch jigsaws manufactured in China. It has a solid grip with smooth motor and saw movement. The 6.4 amp motor provides plenty of power for working with wood up to 2 X 4 size. The precision guide control and blade orbit selection features allow clean, accurate cuts through a variety of materials. The blade ejection feature and easy loading T-Shank blades make fast blade changes. The Bosch blades retained their edge through continuous work with plywood and pressure treated lumber. My only concern has been how hot the front part of the saw gets after several minutes of continuous use. This has not been a problem so far.
Top Notch July 25, 2008
After having a Dewalt DW331k break on me three times I gave up and got the Bosch 1590EVSK. What a difference. This jig saw does what it's asked to do with no complaints. The blade changing system is pretty much fool proof and the bevel adjustment is smooth, quick, and easy. The weight of the machine removes vibration and the variable speed motor is infinitely adjustable and sensitive to finger pressure. It's everything that a carpenter could ask for and it has a wonderfully long cord to boot. The true test will be its longevity but from the workout I have given it so far I am confident that this is one rugged and reliable tool. Goodbye Dewalt; no more junk for me.
Fun to use jigsaw June 29, 2008
Been wanting one of these for several years. Finally broke down and bought one. Wish I would have done this when I first thought about it. Could have been enjoying it for years!
Super saw June 26, 2008
I had a 30-year old Craftsman jigsaw that didn't have orbital action, and I hardly used it because I had to push hard on it all the way through a cut, ruining many blades in the process. My first project with the Bosch was some leaf cutouts in 2-inch treated lumber for deck railing decoration. I was AMAZED from the moment I made the first cut with the Bosch! It went through that lumber like a hot knife through butter, and the sides of the cuts in the thick lumber were perfectly perpendicular to the surfaces. What I had expected to be a real chore was a joy. I finished the six cutouts in just a couple of hours, when I was expecting it to take a couple of days. I would highly recommend this jigsaw to anyone considering it. I'm planning on demonstrating it side by side with my ancient Craftsman for our woodworking club. WHAT a DIFFERENCE!
Orbital motion question June 25, 2008
I bought this saw because of all the great reviews. I have to say, I love this saw! The only thing is, the orbital motion doesn't seem to work, whatsoever. I returned the saw and bought a new one, and it is the same story. Has anyone else had a problem with the orbital motion on this saw?
