I like the barrel grip which fits my hand well and gives me great control. I love the LED light which, combined with top notch blower, significantly helps aging eyes follow my lines. It’s amazing how close to my band-saw performance the new saw comes for shop work and the t-shank selection of awesome blades often saves the work of band-saw blade changes and setup. The saw is so accurate the I often leave circular saw behind

I almost exclusively invest in Bosch power tools. Adding this Jig Saw to my tool assortment was a no brainer. It’s light, powerful and radius cutting is a breeze. The quick-change blade and dust blower features are awesome!I would give it a perfect 5.0 score if two features were improved:1. I wish that the LED light functioned only when the toll was actually cutting… it comes on the moment the tool is plugged in. I guess it was designed that way to let you know that the tool is energized???2. This jig saw needs a trigger type switch… the sliding switch is cumbersome and shutting down the tool in a panic situation is difficult.

This is my 6th bosch jigsaw. I bought my first in 1969. It is scilla brand made in switzerland. It was bought out by bosch. I still have as a backup.they were great. This new 7.2 amp has some features like a good light for my 77 year old eyes and none finger burning blade release.great product.no issues with shipping or service.

I have been using this saw for quite some time and feel that it is an invaluable part of my tool collection. It is extremely comfortable to use and the number of blade options provide a multitude of applications for everyday projects from metal and wood to plastics and composites. The price is exceptional given its power and versatility…if you need a saber saw that can do it all….AND is reasonably priced….this is the one to have!!!!!

So far has cut thru wood and cement board with speed set on dial number three. Would definitely recommend this product. Well worth the money.

Very high quality tool, I am glad I spent the extra money for this model jig saw.

My third Bosch Jig saw over the years. Love the barrel grip, smooth power delivery and overall feel of quality. Decent visibility of blade and ability to attach dust collection. Price was right for a quality tool and HD has been my best online purchasing experience of all. My only, very slight pick is I would like Bosch to apply a thin foam in the case in order to retain the tool in a more secure manner, it moves a bit otherwise. Great tool though and as long as Bosch doesn’t switch to China on this tool’s place of manufacture, I’ll continue to buy.

Bought 2 saws a few weeks ago to to do a difficult job after 4 of our shop jig saws failed (various makes) The task was cutting several 22″x19″portholes in 3/8 thick 20″ diameter steel pipe. After cutting 20+ portholes in the pipes the saws are still like new. We used the T118B blades and found a cut life of 2-8 inches per blade. the auto eject blade feature is great. As a shop we were suprised at how well these saws preformed.

Worth the money

I am a do-it-yourselfer, so don’t read this through the eyes of a professional. At the moment, I’m using the saw to shape engineered flooring to fit around corners. My hands are of average size; the saw fits my hand well. It is easy to turn on and to maneuver. I love the LED light, which helps keep my cuts accurate. The saw has very little vibration. Changing blades is a breeze. I would highly recommend this saw.

I have been buying bosch jig saws for 30 years now, it’s the only one i will ever usei love the barrel type because allows me to cut upside down with ease, as a matter of fact i have one just for back up.

I bought this kit a few years ago and learned fairly quickly that if you force the cut you work against yourself. You set this baby down into the cut and guide it because it cuts all by itself. Another tip always secure whatever you’re cutting to reduce bounce, because this is a very powerful beast of a saw and it will jump around if you don’t clamp your work to something stable. The accessories are great but there are many aftermarket blades that are a valuable addition and the case is just right, keeping the saw and extra accessories secure. This saw is very portable and a must have for any circles in your woodworking.

This is a replacement for an older Bosch jigsaw, which I wouldn’t have thought could be improved upon. The JS572EB is super smooth with little vibration, cuts cleanly and fits well in my hands. This saw was made in Switzerland. Expensive, but not on a “per year cost”
