Bosch 52314 14.4 Volt Jig Saw with 1 Battery

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Woodworkers who like the smooth, accurate performance of Bosch's jig saws will appreciate this new cordless model. It offers plenty of power for making curved cuts in a variety of materials, and doesn't skimp on usability features. At its heart is a powerful and smooth-running Bosch-built motor and a durable and lightweight magnesium gear housing. The saw has variable speed from 0 to 2,000 strokes per minute with a 1-inch stroke length, and a maximum capacity of 2-3/4 inches in wood and 5/16 inch in steel. The base bevels 45 degrees and comes with a foot cover to protect finished surfaces. The tool-free blade-changing system is as simple and quick as we've seen, and even ejects used blades with the pull of a lever. There's a soft rubber top-handle grip that can be used in a couple different positions, and the variable-speed trigger has an ambidextrous lock-on switch. With this tool's smooth performance and Bosch-built reliability, we think any one who finds curve cutting and cords a cumbersome combination will appreciate it. This 14.4-volt model comes with one 2.4 amp hr battery, a one-hour charger, a blade set, and a no-mar overshoe. People looking for more power might consider Bosch's 18- or 24-volt models. --Brian Trinen

I have 3 jig saws. 2 with cords and this one with the batteries. I have yet to pull out the corded ones. this tool works great. has good run power for most jig sawing. rounding a top of a gate, notches in wood etc. it beats dragging out the cords. i have several 14 volt bosch tools so I have about 10 batteries but for the most part 1 battery works well. I highly recommend this tool.

I don't believe that you can buy a better cordless jigsaw for the money. After being disappointed in my last 2 DeWalt purchases (cordless drills) I decided to give Bosch a try. I now own a cordless drill, an impact driver and this jigsaw, all 14.4V, and couldn't be more pleased. My old B&D Industrial corded jigsaw is on its last leg so I talked my wife into letting me get the Bosch 52314. The jigsaw is solidly built, has plenty of power, 3 orbital settings and a chip blower. And you don't have to worry about the cord.

I know that the trend in cordless jig saws is going above 14.4 but it really isn't neccesary. This saw is awesome! It outperforms any corded jig saw I have ever had. I have used it to cut fine detail in thick pressure treated lumber as well as standard lumber. With the Bosh Progressor blades it will eat any wood I ask it to with precision. Really, you can not beat this saw for the money - especially factoring in the cordless capability. I'll be buried with mine (kidding)!
