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

Bosch 1690EVSK 6.4 Amp
Arrived on time and was as described. Best price I could find was obtained on Amazon.com. Also, no sales tax and free shipping. Have used the jigsaw and it performs flawlessly. I like the blade ejector,and the new blades load easily. Did not come with the vacuum attachment, and this option proved of marginal value when I bought it separately. Does not really catch all the sawdust. I think it is easier to "let it fly" and vacumm up afterwards. Overall a very good purchase and one I hope to use for years.

What more can I say about this saw
What more can I say about this saw that other reviewers haven't already said. It is a great saw. Weighted and balanced nicely very durable. I had no problem cutting through 6/4 red oak for custom stair treads I made for my living room. It is the first Bosch tool I own and if all Bosch's tools are made like this I will be checking them out.

Swiss Watch
In 1946 when Albert Kaufmann an employee working for a Bosch-owned Swiss manufacturing company called Scintilla AG replaced the needle on his wife's sewing machine with a saw blade to enable him to make delicate and detailed cuts in wood, he could not imagine that he was doing history. Since 1947, when the first jigsaw was manufactured, Scintilla AG is still producing in Switzerland the best jigsaws in the world! Here is the Bosch 1590EVS to prove. It works like a Swiss watch: Precise and reliable. No offense, but I don't like power tools made in China, even by leading brands like Bosch, Dewalt, etc.
