My Bosch jigsaw works perfectly, recommend it to any one
Small and mighty
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.
Typical Bosch quality bu
Good jigsaw but doesn’t come with a fence guide which is a disappointment.

A great cutting tool
Great tool used for cutting laminate flooring round pillars and curves
Cordless jigsaw
Was concerned this tool would be a bit pithless but it’s not. Very easy to use. Would be much better if it came with the charger, battery and a decent box to store it in!
I ordered the charger but it didn’t come with the battery!! Come on Bosch make it easy for the purchaser!!
Very impressive glad I notify the cable version.
Wanted something to be able to cut through wood without needing a saw. The straight can be tricky you’ll need to have a proper bench and clamps etc. Curves are extremely easy. Night the Bosch extra blades as well. Got the mains version just find it more convenient rather than waiting for batteries to charge etc. Good price.
Works wonders
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.
Does what it said on the box.
Used for renewing window mouldings and door frame mouldings. Easy to use and a good cut.
Brillia
Great little jigsaw, used to cut kitchen worktop which it did with ease and the blowing function kept the pencil lines in view. Would of been nice to have selection of blades instead of just one general blade but still good value tool.
Great little jigsaw
Replaced a 20 year old Black and Decker as my occasional-use DIY jigsaw. Feels solid in the hand, cuts precisely and cleanly. I used it to cut some laminated ply camper van furniture and was very pleased with the results. I would say it’s ideal for anyone who needs a jigsaw in their toolkit for projects around the home.
Nice bit of kit for the price
Only down side would be the single supplied but bent when cutting wood. Another spare would have be appreciated.

It’s a Bosch why would it not be grea
Lovely jig saw and yes it’s wired but it’s a great saw that’s works as it should. Great value and recommended
Well described
Overall I am very happy with this product. Only a couple of criticisms. I found when handling, the trigger could easily be set in motion, so had to be careful when picking it up. Also, when doing curves, the guidelines on the on surface to be cut could not be seen so estimates on where the cutting blade was had to be made. I am only an amateur at this, so will probably get more used to it as time goes on.
Value for money
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
Solid tool
Great value. Comes with plastic case and a single blade. Used to cut wood flooring lengthways. Did job well.
Bosch. The name to remember in DIY and professional tools.
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.

Very easy to use for DIY
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
Smooth machine
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
Bosch gets the job done as usual
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.
Great for beginners!
I am a rank amateur but needed to cut the cat flap bigger in the back door so decided to have a go. This tool is very easy to use and I am very pleased I managed to cut the hole reasonably well! Very pleased with the jigsaw and I’ll have a go at a few other jobs 🙂

Cuts floorboards and doors cleanly
I got this and a set of blades to help fit a wooden floor in the hallway. With the right blade and anti-splinter accessory it was so good I didn’t need to file edges, just glue the boards and scotia straight away! My husband said I was smiling as I cut neat, straight lines in seconds.
I managed to cut sections and angles into boards to fit our wonky walls and round steps and door frames. Similar principles to a sewing machine and small scale piercing work in metal to get corners and bends.
Very good but not the bes
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.
The best for ne
I really like to work with this product, easy to use, very safe
Great bit of ki
I purchased this after my cheap one broke after a couple of uses.
So glad I went for this one as it is a dream to work with, easy to use and the guide is a really handy addition. Glides through in no time at all.
Only thing i might have thought about is getting a battery version for easier use but to be honest pulling out the extension lead is not to much of an issue.
Overall its an amazing tool and highly reccomended.
Bish bash bosch
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

Great Saw
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.
Really good tool
Bought as a replacement. It is quicker and easier to change blades. There is less vibration and the wife guide (better than perspex) enables you to see the cut and be more accurate. Used for 45 degree cuts on inch thick timber decking.
Brillia
Brilliant for the price. No issues. Used to shorten worktop length. Perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Excelle
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.
Well worth the money
Realy powerfully machine well made and realy easy tool less blade change ive used it to cut up shed floor and even tho I only had a cheap blade it still did a good job with proper blade for chip board it would have been super fas
Grea
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.

Smooth Operato
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.

Love Love Love
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.
Superb Tool for very little money
Although I bought this for a chest of drawers repair, I have found so many uses for this product, it does make me wonder how I coped before, this is the best bit of money I have spent in such a long time.
Very safe, superb sawing action with as much versatility as I could ever need.

Difficult to praise this inexpensive tool enough (57) – I previously had a cheaper one (35) purchased to cut out an freehand opening for a bathroom sink. While It did the job well – frustratingly I couldn’t cut a straight line with it at all for when used on other projects – The blade would twist and wander off line.
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.

Replacing the old one
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.
Even budget Bosch is superior to alternatives
Don’t waste money on those 20 rubbish saws, you will regret it. For the longest time, I thought I was using jigsaws wrong. The blades and cuts were never straight and cutting was difficult. Using this was a revelation. Even a budget Bosch is better than no name bargain tools.
Superb quality
Really good jigsaw for the price. Has the bosch quality feel and a very reasonably price. Cuts are smooth and precise.

I used this when fitting my kitchen to trim scribed panels with the use of a down cut blade. This tool was great, I would recommend it.

Great produc
As someone that is next to useless at any form of DIY, i read other reviews of this product and bought it. Glad i did as its very easy to set up and use. Made light of cutting through deck boards and pallets for my garden project. Excellent value for money and delivered the next day. My only issue was that the blade it was supplied with was loose and unprotected in the carry case and i nearly cut my hand. Didnt help the inside of the box is black and so is the blade. So be careful when opening the carry case.
Good value for money
Very easy to use and definitely a budget tool. Good value for money but one negative point – blade tends to bend sometimes, leaving you with inaccurate cuts. Otherwise great tool to have around
Confused
Almost everything is perfect, until I went to put it together. When I opened the saw blade holder I was confused. It looked like it was supposed to have 2 blades in it, but it only had 1. So I looked through the paperwork, and that showed 2. So I feel slightly cheated.
Excellent replaceme
Already had one which after many years have up, but couldn’t be bothered getting it repaired, had the opportunity to buy one at a bargain price, excellent replacement !
Great!
I love it! Very handy to have. Cuts small to mid size timber.
It does the job well
Bought to replace an old black and decker that broke after a few years limited use. I chose this one for the features i especially like the way it can blow dust away so you can maintain a straight line. Used it to cut laminate flooring with matching bosch 101BR blades it made the task quick and simple.
Light, lots of functions and a decent guarantee, recommended.
Like a hot knife through butte
Bought this after struggling with an electrical reciprocating saw to chop up old decking.
This went through it in record time. Was able to cut down an entire yard of decking planks into 2 foot lengths in under an hour of cutting.
The blade fitting/replacement system instructions could be clearer though, as it takes significant effort to release a blade. I understand it needs to be secure, but the single illustration for removal suggests a much greater degree of movement of the blade holder than actually occurs, so you place more effort than required on the blade, increasing chance of cutting your fingers.
Great jigsaw
Lovely jigsaw. My first ever jigsaw so I have no others for comparison, though it made light work of cutting straight lines, corners, and so light and sharp. Really nice ergonomic design, so easy to control the speed, and just a doddle to use. Thank you Amazon!
Easy to cut accurately
This is really helpful in allowing you to see where you are cutting.

Good jigsaw
Good jigsaw good value, powerful and cuts accurately. Not to heavy or large if you have small hands like me.
Bosch jigsaw
Great to use, powerful enough for all jobs so far. Obviously the thicker the wood the slower the cut. Fits nicely in the hand, easy blade change, nice case and not too heavy. It’ll do for me! No complaints. Definitely recommend!
Would buy again.
I’ve wanted a jigsaw for years and never got round to buying one, using a hand saw instead. Oh why didn’t I buy one earlier – just zipped through my wood in seconds. Would have taken me ages (and a sore arm) to cut with hand saw. The minimal vibration is excellent and this together with the blowing away of sawdust so that you can see your cutting line are two of the reasons I bought this model – plus of course the named of Bosch and the price. Blades are easy to get as well.
Shout out to all DIY amateurs
Having mis managed hand saws for years making a bad job of it..invested in this product and WOW my DIY prowess excelled. Well down to the tool really but as it cannot talk I will take the credit.
Buy it now for all those amateur DIY jobs and enjoy the difference doing it right first time makes.
Great value
What great value ! I SAW this and had to buy it! Easy to use and does a great job !
Great tool, good price
This little tool is light but so powerful. Motor didn’t struggle through a whole row of thick tongue snd groove.

Very useful and easy to use
I am a sixty year old woman and this helped me cut up old garden decking and make garden boxes. So easy to use, if a little scary as so efficient. I would buy again. Saved so much effort. Invaluable really.
Good Value
Bought this for my husband he is delighted with it made our Grandsons names out of wood to hang on our garden fence looks really nice
Excellent produc
Excellent product, impressive, good quality purchase. Used on multiple wood projects with ease.
A great product for the price! 👍
A great product and does the job well. Used it for 2-3 different jobs now and works brilliantly.
Made the work so easy
I am really happy with the saw, accurate and easy to use. It was a good purchase
Typical good quality Bosch
Always expect quality from Bosch – and this doesn’t disappoi
Vert Easy To Use
Like
Quality and speed of cut – I suspect partly due to the suppressed vibration allowing more accurate cutting
Blades are the same as those from my Lidl’s failed Jigsaw – which this replaced – so that was a bonus!
Dislike
V minor quibble but fitting the supplied loose plastic bits was irritatingly fiddly.
Overall: Once together, – 5 stars
easy to use
very easy to use – cuts effortlessly. A fine product by bosch
more supplied blades would have been nice as it only comes with a single blade
build quality is good
Easy to use
Brilliant cuts any kind of wood effortless, haven’t cut metal yet but I think that it will cope.
Brilliant tool
Extremely good accuracy from this electric saw , was suprised it was so versatile as I have only used a hand saw . Great product .

Good for the money
You get what you pay for. For the money it’s not at all bad. What work I’ve done with it I’m more than happy.
Why didn’t I buy one before!
Easy to use and get nice accurate lines – straight and curved
Great little jigsaw
I’m only an occasional diyer and wasn’t prepared to spend loads of cash on something that will often sit on a shelf. Used this to shape some plywood for my day-van. Can’t complain at all. It cuts very well and even blows the sawdust away for a clearer view of the cut line. I did think about spending the extra and getting the more powerful version but glad I didn’t. No complaints so far. Comes in a sturdy plastic case and you can leave the blade attached for storage. I love the size of it, really small and light. Great buy.
easy to use
easy and safe to use if you pay attention to what’s under the item you are cutting.
had no issues with setting up – excellent item for casual diy in my house
Good saw
Great saw for the price, nice quick blade change, cuts nice and straight did a lovely job on 40mm worktop.
Simple and effective
Great little jigsaw. Needed it to cut some flooring and did it with ease. Simple to set up and great quality which you would expect from Bosch. Needs a bit of practice to great smooth curves but that’s the same as anything new. Def recommend. It’s a bargain for the price.
Excellent power tool.
Excellent saw. Very accurate cuts are easily achieved due to the guide plate. Different blades can be fitted for different materials. The case is very useful too.
