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

Customer Reviews

A quality product.
This is by far the finest jigsaw I have ever used. It has a ton of helpful features such as a small blower to remove sawdust from where you are cutting, a quick-release blade system, a very nice carrying case and many others.

Although it is tempting to go cheap on a jigsaw--some are available for as little as $40--you won't regret this purchase. I've been using this to cut 3/4" pre-finished oak flooring and it goes through it like a hot knife through butter.

what a tool
this was a heck of an upgrade for me considering that i had a craftsman jigsaw before. the bosch is so smooth and balanced...its a pleasure to work with. blade changes are super easy, the dust blower works well and it has ample power to cut through whatever you are working on with the proper blade

Hot Tools!
I like this saw with all it's neat features, but have a serious complaint. The face and the insulated handle on the saw that I purchased got extremely hot. I know of other's (one's a co-worker) who ran into a similar problem. Bosch say's it may be because of the big motor but who knows. I switched it out at Woodcraft and ran into the same problem. I ended up returning it all together
