Product Overview

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Bosch GST18V 47N 18V Barrel Grip Jig Saw and I must say it did not disappoint. The jig saw is powered by an 18V battery and boasts a powerful motor that can produce up to 2,700 no load strokes per minute. The barrel grip design makes it easy to handle and the extended soft grip areas provide user comfort and control, with a small barrel grip circumference for added stability.

The variable speed control provides a dial to control operating speed from 550 up to 2,700 no load strokes per minute and it also has a long stroke length of about 1 inch for a cutting capability up to 4 1/2 inches in wood and up to 7/8 inch in aluminum. With the included anti splinter insert and plastic overshoe, you can make very precise cuts without worrying about splinters or damage to your material.

The Bosch GST18V 47N 18V Barrel Grip Jig Saw is perfect for craftspeople, carpenters, DIYers, and anyone else looking for an accurate jig saw with power. It is lightweight yet sturdy enough for all types of projects whether you are making intricate cuts in wood or plastic, or more general cuts in metal. The included blade is made from high speed steel so it stays sharp longer and produces cleaner cuts than other blades on the market.

Overall I was impressed with this jig saw from Bosch. It s easy to use, has great features such as variable speed control, long stroke length, anti splinter insert, etc., and it s powerful enough for any project you may have in mind. If you are looking for an accurate jig saw that can handle any job then this is definitely one to consider you won t be disappointed!
