Bosch Colt and Bosch Jigsaw

Hi All,

Rockler has an add for a single-speed Bosch Colt router and a Bosch 1587 VS variable speed jigsaw. $150 for the pair.

Since I do not have a small router and since my inhereted Craftsman jigsaw blade flops back and forth about a 1/4", this looks apealing.

Any reason I should not buy them?

Enjoy,

Jim
 
The router and saw go for about $220 at Amazon so that sounds like a great deal if you need both. If you are lacking justifications for needing both, I'm sure the folks here can help you! :)
 
I think you will be well pleased with them both,as mentioned before Bosch makes great tools. You would have to fight me to get my Bosch 1590VSK jigsaw away from me.

I did a quick Google search on the Bosh 1587 and clicked on the first Amazon listing that came up.....but it was, unnoticed by me...for the Griz. :eek:

Off to the corner...
 
I have a Bosch jigsaw (not this model) and I really like it. I also have a Festool jigsaw and these two jigsaws are much much better than any other jigsaw that I have ever owned. Its a tossup whether the Festool or the Bosch is beter.

I don't yet have the Bosch Colt router but I have heard good things about it and plan to get one.
 
I have both of these items. The jigsaw is about the best one around... works great and the router is absolutely a work horse... so much you can do with it!

Thanks all of you

Hi,

I made the purchase. I will pick them up Nov 8th. when I have to be near the store anyway.

It is almost a two hour round trip to the store and in our traffic that is NO picnic. Guess that makes it like a birthday---lots of anticipation.

Enjoy,

Jim
