I bought this tool back in 2002 to replace a tool that lasted only 3 months. I cannot say enough about how excellent my Bosch has been. It has easily cut through steel, oak, sheet wall-board and laminate flooring without any problem. Sure, the blades got dull, as they should, but never broke any blade. It doesn’t vibrate like all other brands, and we all know the brand names. Need a Good tool ? Go buy a BOSCH.

I’ve had the saw for a few months now. I’ve had other Bosch Jig Saws in the past as well. The JS260 performs very well, as do all the other Bosch power tools I currently have or have had. As far as I’m concerned Bosch is the best overall tool maker in the business!

I was using a skill saw for a few years a d finally upgraded to the js260. The difference was night and day. The pressure sensitive trigger is probably my favorite part.

I am a sculptor and this is my all time favorite jigsaw, my students have uded the two I bought 10 years ago consistently, and I have yet to order any parts.

Had the saw less than a year and have used it a good bit building Adirondack chairs from pressure treated 1x materials. Cuts well and handles smooth but to save my life I cannot get the blade square to the sole plate. This causes the cut to be at an angle, not 90 degrees. I have tried numerous Bosch blades and also to resquare the saw to no avail. Makes scroll cuts look horrible.

I worked as a plumber for many years and always could rely on Bosch for heavy duty applications. When I first viewed this product I was a little skeptical concerning the price. When I used this product to cut out a home made full size handicap stencil for the parking lot I maintain I was truly satisfied with the results. I cut through 1/2″ plywood with many turns with no problem what so ever. The motor was very powerful and once again I was thoroughly pleased with Bosch. This jigsaw not only met my budget but performed beautifully. Thanks Bosch.

My Craftsman finally rattled apart. This saw runs so smoothly, evenly, and is a pleasure to use. I love the ease of blade changes. Lots of power with no vibration. This is the 3rd Bosch tool I’ve purchased, and they’re all great.

This tool worked as advertised – great tool. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a Jig Saw or replacing an old Jig Saw.

This saw cuts very smoothly and makes it easy to see as it constantly blows the saw dust away.

I purchased this tool after burning out 3 competitors jigsaws in as many years. After using it almost daily for more than 20 years as a flooring contractor, I can say it is worth every penny I paid and more.The tool-less blade change is has worked flawlessly.This saw works as well today as it did when I bought it, which is impressive since I’ve dropped it onto concrete from off my table sawdozens of times.It doesn’t look pretty anymore, but there is no need to replace it.When it does die, another Bosch will replace it

I have read some reviews on this saw that said the blade release mechanism can get jammed. Bosch includes special instructions on how to release it in this case, so I don’t consider this an issue.The saw is fast and smooth, and easy to hold. I’ve had no problem cutting with it. It blows more dust around than my previous jigsaw, but this is because it purposefully blows dust out of the way as you cut, so that you can see lines.

I purchased the saw a year ago to cut both wood and metal. I like the saw and also selected it for the speed thay one might attach a blade to the saw. However, when cutting a metal sheet on an angle the blade broke within the housing and there appears no way to remove the broken component so that I might use the saw again. This is a significant design flaw as I see others have reported the same problem. I also note that it could be rectified buy allowing this component to be opened or it being able to be detach and replaced, which may increase the cost of the device by a few dollars but this would make the saw more resilient.

Was looking for a replacement jigsaw that burned out last year and am very pleased with this Bosch jigsaw. Blade changes are a snap and it cuts as expected…no surprises. Have a Bosch tablesaw and dishwasher…outstanding products!

I bought this product 3 weeks ago and I love it. It handles very well and i love the ease which the motor revs up and slows down. a great tool at a great price!!!

I purchased this as the reviews were good for Bosch. I have always used Bosch blades on my old saw, but found this on sale, so decided to buy it since I had a project in process. I really like the way the saw cuts and the stability of it; although it is a little heavy compared to my old jig saw. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of the saw. I would have given 4.5 stars, but no option.

I had an old jigsaw that was probably 40 years old. It finally broke after years of work. It would cut, but I had to give it a push while it labored away slowly. My new Bosch is like a chainsaw by comparison. It is strong and I almost feel like I need to hold it back while it cuts away furiously. I am impressed with its power as well as its quick blade change system. This is a great jigsaw.

THE JS260 I PURCHASED DID EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED AND WANTED IT TO DO. THIS IS TRUE WITH EVERY BOSCH TOOL I HAVE PURCHASED.
