It is a long time since I last used a jigsaw and then it was a multi-purpose tool with loads of accessories. I was absolutely blown away with the balance and ease of use of this tool. It may not be powerful enough for workshop use and it only has one fixed speed but for DIY purposed I found it to be ideal.
This is another nice product from Bosch and presented in the familiar Green Plastic Carrying Case.
So much better than my old one purchased in the 1970’s. The Bosch is easier to use with low vibration and pleasant handling which is a familiar thing with Bosch tools. Quick change of blade is a useful factor and a Corded Machine for instant use. I am confident that this will suit my current and future DIY projects.
I own several other Bosch tools so I might be counted as a Fan of the Brand.
I bought this to replace my old jigsaw.
I don’t do much diy, but I do need a jigsaw from time to time and this fits the bill. It’s easy to set up and use although I did buy the splinter guard and guide accessories in addition. I also bought some additional blades.
The speed control is very good allowing a slow start, increasing speed as you get comfortable with the job.
I’m satisfied that this item will do what I need it to. The case is durable and handy for keeping the saw, the extra blades and a couple of other small bits and pieces.
If I was using the saw regularly I’d probably have chosen a cordless version, but the corded one is fine for my purposes.
A great saw, put straight to use after opening the case. Fortunately, I had also bought some Bosch blades, because my unit did to come with a blade ass advertised. Hence four stars. Still, very easy to use, a great little machine.
The PST 700 E is a handy bit of kit for the occasional piece of DIY, its certainly not a heavy duty saw but perfect for making a few shelves or other odd jobs around the house. it feels sturdy, comfortable to hold and easy to control. The blade cuts well if not particularly fast but still feels powerful.
Its good value for money and I would recommend it, really its only fault is that it only comes with one blade.
Excellent jigsaw for a diyer like me.Great price and quick delivery.Only one gripe why no blade to cut metal included as this would have earned it 5stars instead of a strong 4.Would highly recommend this product.
Great saw. Has multiple uses for light sawing work. Works great and being ‘wireless’ it can be used anywhere. I have even used it in the garden to saw off small tree and shrub branches. Cut my kitchen worktop with no issues, just keep it straight and level.
Very easy to use not used for anything substantial yet, cannot see any reason why it shouldn’t carry on being the great little tool it is.
A very good jig saw, one of the best jig saws I have used.
What is good about this jig saw it has a clip on cutting guide.
After buying a cordless drill, this is surely your next purchase. Once you’ve had one, you wouldn’t be without one.
My last Bosch Jigsaw lasted 12 years, frequently used with different materials.
This one is even better and has more gadgets for accurate manoeuvres.
Well it is a top brand tool so you expect a top job, my Mrs love it for her upcycling she said its powerfull but also very well balanced so happy days .
We used this to cut kitchen work tops which it did with ease. Its pretty loud but it’s easy to set up and completes jobs quickly
Bought as birthday gift for hubby..he was delighted…the best make you can but he says. So I’m delighted with my choice of gift..arrived quickly. Nicely priced..thank you!
I already have several Bosch power tools which have never let me down so I had no hesitation choosing this jigsaw over some cheaper “no name” ones. I have used it several times since purchase and I’m very happy with the performance. As with any cutting tool, use good quality blades and don’t force it, let the tool do the work.
Light weight, easy blade change, plenty of power for my occasional use, comfortable to use and appears well made.
This is a quality product at an extremely good price. Variable speed control is smooth. Comes with one blade. Oscillation control as well! I’m very happy with this purchase.
I’ve been using a ratty old jigsaw I got a while back for ages and really thought that they all wander off line and go their own way, I bought this as I have some straight lines to cut and it has literallyy transformed my experience, straight lines are no longer such a challenge, it doesn’t bend off and give me a bevelled cut I never asked for.
Very pleased so far, I’ll always say if I don’t like something so here’s one I like and am really pleased I bought.
A note, I still veered off a little in the cut but only when I got over confident and sped up too much.
Have not used yet but good price,good named tool.
Smart well built tool for the job. Fits in hand well

I got it to install a sink in a wooden worktop. It worked with no problem and had sufficient power to do so easily. Comes with one universal blade
This has made DIY projects easier and more appealing. I can now actually do small carpeting jobs around the house, saving quite a bit of money.
This jigsaw is powerful and it cuts through up to 70mm wood depth. It comes with Bosch quality and it seems very well made with no issues so far.
I must say, it requires some strength to operate this and it does tire you out after about 20 mins of use. The blades will need frequent changing. I cut about 5 boards and the blade was quite worn out. You can buy a whole set of blades on amazon for an affordable price. It comes with a long cable.
Overall this is affordable and makes DIY projects easy, so I recommend it.
This is a very good electric jigsaw. It does a good job cutting through wood and chipboard accurately and relatively fast. It is loud and messy, do I recommend using it outdoors as there’s a lot of dust produced. I also recommend using safety glasses and a mask.

My Bosch jigsaw works perfectly, recommend it to any one
Bought for cutting flooring. Small and very manoeuvrable. Cuts great . Nice case. Comes with only 1 blade though.
Great price for a good little machine.
Good jigsaw but doesn’t come with a fence guide which is a disappointment.

Great tool used for cutting laminate flooring round pillars and curves
Cuts through wood planks in a breeze. Comes with a single wood saw blade, so you don’t actually need to buy extra blades as I did unless you need to work on metal.
Used for renewing window mouldings and door frame mouldings. Easy to use and a good cut.
Only down side would be the single supplied but bent when cutting wood. Another spare would have be appreciated.

Lovely jig saw and yes it’s wired but it’s a great saw that’s works as it should. Great value and recommended
Its been really good experience last two weeks, we used for cut tick laminate floor and its fast and really precis in the cuts, we are so happy and we been using a lot this last two week so we totally recommend if you need small practical jigsaw in home, we also try in pieces of wood and make the job properly
Great value. Comes with plastic case and a single blade. Used to cut wood flooring lengthways. Did job well.
I’d had my old Bosch jigsaw for more years than l care to remember and overall had no problems with it, so l was disappointed when it did finally give up the ghost about a month ago. I ordered a similar model from Amazon, my favourite supplier, and it was delivered spot on next day. I have used the new jigsaw many times since then and am amazed at how much more accurate it is, along with the extra power of course. Love my old one as l did, l’m beginning to wish l had upgraded to this model earlier.
I am a DIY user with no prior experience in carpentry. Very easy to use device. No vibrations to handle at all. Was bit nervous initially for using tool but after few usage have gained lots of confidence in it.
First delivered device developed some issues in few days, blade got stuck – maybe gears got jammed. Thanks to Amazon they replaced the device within a day. Awesome service
Bought this jigsaw as I was taking on a project to install laminate flooring
Made the job so easy. Smooth machine. Glides nicely. Well done Bosch
This jigsaw seems to have everything: can cut at any angle, has a feed to attach a vacuum dust collector, a nice case to keep it in. Whilst using it, it seems to have plenty of power. It has a neat little blade carrier that stores blades in the foot plate of the device. Seems mean though that the carrier holds two blades but they only supply one blade. I didn’t want to use the machine until I had bought more blades because Sod’s Law says that if you only have one blade, and you’re inexperienced, then the first time you use it you will break the blade and not have a spare.
Works well, only issue I have come across, occasionally the blade locking mechanism jams. It gets lot of use, but now and then it locks so I strip it down to clean, then it’s OK.
I really like to work with this product, easy to use, very safe
This has made all my DIY tasks a breeze I’ve cut metal, wood and upvb. Easy to change blade.. accurate.. can’t fault i

This saw made light work of of the flooring I was fitting and easily cut around the doorway etc. I look forward to using it on other projects.
Brilliant for the price. No issues. Used to shorten worktop length. Perfect. Would definitely recommend.

I laid laminate flooring and fitted skirting boards using this tool across my entire flat and experienced no obvious deterioration in performance of the blade, movement of the blade or anything else. A top product.
Comfortable in the hand. Easy to use and change blades

My first ever electric saw and I am so glad I went for this one. After debating on what kind of saw I need to buy to work well for me.
I am a female and no DIY experience so just starting to do some small wood cutting.
With this saw. The wood almost cuts by itself, no stress and the vibration is very low.
Just draw the line on the wood and the guide helps follow a straight line.
Cannot be more satisfied.
I’ve only used the Bosch 06033A0170 PST 800 PEL Jigsaw for sawing 12mm MDF board, but unlike my old jigsaw it is easy to cut in a straight line and at a 90 degree angle to the top of the board. The guide that fits on the front of the saw makes it easy to follow a line, until you get to the end, that is, when the guide goes off the end of the board and the line becomes difficult to see (the last 1-2cm). It’s really just just a question of getting used to the process and making sure that your body is in the right place I’m sure, but I took a point off the ease of use as I wandered a little once at the end of a cut.
Another reviewer stated that no blades were included. There was a single blade included, though I am glad that I ordered “Bosch 2608633779 Clean Wood Jigsaw Blade, 1 Lug, Silver, Pack of 3” at the same time as I think that the bigger teeth on the blade that came with the saw would have given a rougher cut on the mdf board I used.
In the description of the saw it says that a lithium ion battery is required but not included. It’s not stated in the saws details what type of lithium battery would be needed and I could not find any mention of the battery in the instructions or see where a battery could be fitted, so I think that the details on the screen must be wrong and consequently only scored the accuracy a 4.
All in all I’m pretty pleased with the saw.
My old Bosch was on its’ last legs and desperately in need of a new one, so thought I’d go with the more powerful version. Excellent choice and absolutely love this jigsaw. Handle is great for my small arthritic hands, although I do struggle at times to insert the blade as I have limited strength in the fingers to push back the release catch. Accurate enough for all the DIY jobs I undertake and the low vibration is indeed very low, an asset if you suffer with white finger, oestoarthritis or other medical issues of the hands and wrists.
The product arrived promptly
I tested this Bosch PST 800 PEL Jigsaw by
1) Cutting a 50mm strip from a 20 x 200mm (two metre) length of plank using a an other straight bit of wood as a guide. using the same blade I had on my Jigsaw.
The result was excellent – The cut was clean, straight(within 1mm of line) and at 90 degrees all the way along.
2) Cutting another 50mm strip freehand – again it was easy to follow the line and the results were accurate.
I am really pleased and can recommend this tool without hesitation.
I have never had a problem with any of my Bosch tools & this one has replaced my old one after 15 years of use & now beginning to show signs of wear after being used most weeks in my business. I am sure the newbie will prove to be as outstanding.
Really good jigsaw for the price. Has the bosch quality feel and a very reasonably price. Cuts are smooth and precise.
