Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is amazing- it has a ton of power with a lot of precision! The JS5 cut through all types of wood effortlessly, but was smooth and had little vibration. I like the placement of all the controls and really have no complaints thus far. My old jigsaw had a screw that held the blade in place, but this has a tool-less system that allows the blade to be changed with one hand in seconds.
From what I understand this is smaller and lighter than Bosch's 2 other, more expensive jigsaws. I felt like this model would give me better control since it is more compact, which was really a priority for me. The JS5 actually has more power than the 1587, which is approx $20 more, but I'm unsure as to whether or not the 1587 has any additional features. From what I could tell, it seems the 1587 comes with a hard case and some more accessories. The top of the line 1590 has some additional features and more power than the JS5, but since I'm not a pro I couldn't justify spending 50% more.
Compared to other quality jigsaws on the market this is priced competitively and everything I could want in a jigsaw! I upgraded from a $25 Skil jigsaw and this feels like a completely different tool!
