 The Blade Does Not Last Long November 17, 2009
John Samadi (Florida)

This is a "five star" tool that comes in a cardboard case. I bought this the Bosch flush cutter for undercutting some difficult door frames in my house and this tool was just what the doctor ordered. I highly recommend it. But come on Bosch!!! Who's the knuckehead that approved selling this fine saw without a decent case?
 Unique and valuable tool April 29, 2009

This saw is as powerful as a reciprocating saw, yet as smooth as a Bosch jigsaw. It runs like a sewing-machine on steroids, so it requires some thoughtful planning to use. If you are an experienced power-tool user, you will find this thing does certain tasks very well and is a great time-saver. You may need a spacer block or shim to trim doorjambs. You certainly will want the miter attachment for cutting trim. With the right grip and some guide-blocks, I have even cut large dovetails with it. I would not recommend this tool to everybody, but it is a unique problem-solver for me.
One of my favorite tools. April 5, 2009
Eric Nelson (NH)
I've owned two of these tools for over 10 years. Used on a daily basis. They are for undercutting almost exclusively. They do have a few more uses depending on your creativity, but don't ask them to do more than that. As undercutters they are the best. I also own the Fein Multimaster, but the blades are too expensive.
awesome saw March 30, 2009
Jeffrey A. Newbold (Frankenmuth, MI)
This saw is just what is needed to get those door frames and cuts that are hard to do done. Should have owned a saw like this before
