Bosch Professional12V System GST 12V-70 cordless jigsaw (2 x saw blades, glide shoe, anti-splinter guard, cutting depth in wood: 70 mm, excluding batteries and charger, in carton)

Excellent little tool. Small and light enough to use accurately with one hand. Some reviews complain about it not having a trigger, but the on/off switch design actually makes it easier to adjust your grip while using it to cut complex shapes. Battery life is fine considering the small battery size, and so far it has cut through everything I’ve thrown at it (wood up to 20mm thick) with ease. Obviously it’s only 12V so it’s no powerhouse but I’m really pleased with it.

These Bosch Professional tools are a huge leap in terms of quality. This jigsaw is nice and light, easy to grip and having the battery makes life so much easier for house jobs.

If you are considering this you probably already have a tool in the 10.8 Bosch range. This is a nice addition and highly recommended. Comes with a fine blade and a rapid cut blade as well as dust tube and L boxx inlay. Solid feel to it and v easy to use. The dust extractor tube makes it easier to see where you are cutting. Only 4 stars as still a little pricey I think.UPDATE MAY 2016I have upped this to 5 stars. The tool has proved to be worth the money and has paid for itself in saved costs

Great for the smaller jobs & great price

Love the build quality, size & weight!

Having other Bosch Professional 12V gear, with batteries and charges, it made sense to buy the bare version of this, especially as it comes with an L-Boxx insert for the larger L-Boxxes. This is pretty powerful, given that it's only 12V. You'd never expect it to cut through 50mm hardwood, but for most ripping jobs, or intricate moulding cuts, it's perfect. Cordless, and lightweight, it's a great bit of kit.

Purchased on offer as my jigsaw broke and needed overnight. Handy for home projects, useful as multiple tools use the same battery. Struggles with thicker wood and not as powerful compared to a mains 240v or 110v but will still cut as long as not too quick and being cordless is more practical. Gets hot quickly. Blades easily changed, built in light,good cutting visibility. Would recommend for home use only.

This replaced a "top of the range" 18v Makita and Bosch models.Other than missing the trigger switch over been very happy with this. Not too loud and cuts nicely.
