Bosch invented the jig saw, and, with its top-handle models, it's getting close to perfecting it. The 1587AVSK has a nicely shaped handle, tapered where other saws are not, and a nice rubber grip that lets users (of all hand sizes) steer the tool firmly in hand. (Some toolmakers ignore ergonomics, but not Bosch--and we appreciate it.) The safety mechanism works well with the trigger, and the cut is super smooth. We like the variable-speed dial, the light weight, and the foot plate's plastic cover, which ensures that surfaces won't get scratched as they can by saws with metal plates. The blade-change system--if a little tricky at first--works great. No question about it, this jigsaw keeps up Bosch's reputation as one of the prime movers in the power tool industry. --Michael Shilling
From the Manufacturer
Bosch has beaten down the price of its standard 1587 jig saw and included a case. The saw's high-efficiency motor provides more power for the most-demanding cut while the dust blower clears the cut line, shutting off for metal cutting. Features include linear counterbalance, an adjustable footplate that tilts left and right up to 45 degrees, a base that retracts for flush cutting, and a top handle that gives extra control under heavy load. This kit includes three assorted blades, plastic case, an anti-splintering device, a hex key, and a carrying case.
