Bosch 1590 jigsaw

Well I have had a B&D jigsaw for about 20 years. It works so "good" that Iprobably haven't had it out for 4 or 5 years. While I read all the nicecomments about the Bosch jigsaw here, my expectations weren't real high givenmy jigsaw experience. Today I picked up the Bosch 1590 top handle at the Lowes20% off sale and tried it out when I got it home. So that's what a jigsaw issupposed to work like!! I can now understand how you can actually use one forserious work.Dave Hall

IMHO your saw has a better blade change setup than the next generation, the one with the combination lock style knob that you spin a few times. But the latest and greatest is super. My Milwaulee has the lever release and it is wonderful.

Aint that the truth. I've had the 1590 (previously had the 1587) for about

4 months now. Huge improvement over the 1587. The 1587 blade ejection system was horrible and found it to be a major reason NOT to own the 1587. The 1587 had plenty of power but...yep, the blade ejector just sucked.

The only thing I don't like about the 1590 is the bottom plate anti scuff dealybobber doesn't fit tight and falls off. I remedied that by sticking some 2 sided tape to it to hold it in place. SH
