I just used mine for the very first time. I ordered blades on AMAZON and after a couple of test runs... I was able to trim the bottom of my refrigerator cabinet to accommodate at taller new refrigerator. This thing cuts like butter ! I suffer from neuropathy, and using power tools can be problematic for me. This jigsaw had very little vibration and did not bother me at all ! My only negative is, it is VERY heavy when using it sideways, and takes some effort to keep a straight cut. Thanks for the recommendation and review. I am very happy with my purchase.
Hey Andrew...I greatly enjoyed and greatly appreciate your review..you've sold me for sure! I have been a professional carpenter, woodworker, renovator, you name it, for the last 50 years...but I am always open to finding out about new tools..I just trashed my Dewalt today...it totally sucked and I have been using it for years..finally it wouldn't hold the blade any longer. So I thought I'd see what was out there and found your review of this Bosch..had thought about getting the one which sells for about 70 bucks, but I know this is a better one and won't disappoint. Thanks..
After watching your video i went and bought it. Everything you say is accurate. It works phenomenal. I went from a walmart jig saw to this so just imagen!!! Hahah.. The one thing i did not like about it is that i have small fat hands. The barrel can be a bit uncomfortable for me. A little hard to grab. Im still considering changing it for the one with the handle. We'll see.
My Makita barrel handle got in a fire and though it still works I had to order parts and some aren't available, so I thought I'd give the Bosch a try. Also my case got melted too, and u can't buy just the one for that model anymore. Bosch are high quality tools, so it'll last. As long as you keep them out of fires. I like Makita. But but have several Bosch tools as well. If I ever get the Makita rebuild parts, I'll have 2. Oh well. Keep cutting.
No, not Festool (although Festool is pricy). You're thinking the even more expensive Mafell P1cc, which has the same barrel grip design, but accepts a twice as thick blade. Funny thing is that I'm pretty sure most of the Bosch/Mafell accessories for this saw are interchangeable: parallel guide, circle cutting guide, track saw attachment.
Festool. Best ones made but very expensive. Makita 4351ce is slso worth considering. Comes in an identical box to the Festool and can be bought cheaper than the bosch and is probably better made too.
Dude, excellent review, seriously, you got straight to the point and discussed every feature in-depth without dragging on. Keep up the amazing work!
Well presented. I ordered mine about ten minutes ago. Based on this review

i like to think every time he does a blade switch he just launches them across the room. Great review Andrew.
Nice job Andrew, you're review was very informative, and helped me make my decision!
This is great, then mind was blown when I saw the video clip of your surfboard making. very cool.

This is the one I use,its low center of balance and better hand placement is second to none!
Thanks for making this review. Helped me with my decision.
The way you gently threw shade on Festool by forgetting their name was brilliant 😂👌🏽.... Excellent review btw.
Thank you . Excellent demonstration and very informative . Happy surfing .
Awesome review and went out and got myself one…it works awesome
Thanks for the review. I'm in the market for a new one and will be considering this one. Thanks again

There is a new Bosch model that looks very similar but has smaller handle neck for small hand. I think the model number is 572EBK
Great review, I just ordered mine 😄
I already order my. Thanks for the review..

This was a fantastic review!
Nice job on the video. I liked your honesty. Festool, by the way is the professional brand. I will be purchasing this jig saw.
Stay Safe.

Thank you, great video.
Helpful review
Very helpful review. I'm sold.

Very nice review! How would this compare to a similar (blue) Bosch barrel grip jigsaw with 18 V batteri?
nice i used this tool on 2004 the best
JS470E TOP HANDLE and JS470EB BARREL HANDLE
Which one you think has the edge over the other?
Which one would you go for?
Great review
Thanks
Festool. Best ones made but very expensive.
Makita 4351ce is slso worth considering. Comes in an identical box to the Festool and can be bought cheaper than the bosch and is probably better made too.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Does it get hot? I just did like 3 cuts and the hump gets pretty hot
My saw get very hot, but runs fine. I think it's to do with being a barrel grip.
Can you cut metal with it?
you need to make sure to swap out to a metal blade. Different blades for different materials.
This was first released 10 y ears ago, almost 11 in 2010. Is it even worth it now compared to updated tools.
Yes it absolutely is still worth it. Unless you’re looking for a cordless. If the cord doesn’t bother you then this is the jigsaw to get
@@fxre247 How would this compare to a similar (blue) Bosch barrel grip jigsaw with 18 V batteri?
Does this work with Collins coping foot?
How much for this
BOSCH GST 135 CE is even better.
Thank God you didn't show it in use. We wouldn't want to see that at all!
he did...
@@tiddybagel Yeah, i guess he kind of did. Not sure what I was talking about 10 months ago. I must have fast forwarded through it too quickly.
Very expensive and no provision of led light
First of all Bosch jigsaws is by far not the best I know this personaly
Likely appraisal,
