 Beautiful tool | |
| Whether ripping straight lines through plywood or making intricate scroll cuts, this jigsaw performs flawlessly. The quality is apparent just by holding it your hand- it's one of those tools that will probably outlive it's owner... Knocking it because of the country of origin is a philosophical/political argument and says nothing about the actual quality of the tool. Bosch's industry best 3 year warranty and the positive comments from people who have actually used it speaks volumes though. | |
 Made in China, should be $10 | |
| Where is the savings? Pay a premium for an item made in China at a huge discount. That sounds like a good deal (no jobs left and no savings - sign me up for that program). I will return this "discounted" item asap; or better yet, use it as a hammer.
My quest begins for tools made in this country - such as Milwaukee orbital sawzall: good price, excellent tool, would have paid much more. I do not care if a tool(made here) costs three times as much as one made in China and I have to spend three weeks locating it! Tell that to your economics professor. | |
| Made in China -- so what? | |
| I first bought a DeWalt, and it was horrible -- tons of blade deflection, slow cutting, etc. Someone recommended the Bosch, and it was like night and day. This is the Cadillac of jigsaws! I've owned the top handle version for six years now, and I'm about to add the barrel grip to my collection.
To the reviewer who was shocked to discover that this "supposedly quality tool" was made in China (which has long been known as the PRC): did you really give this excellent tool one star simply due to its origin? My goodness, I'm going to love explaining this to my friends here in China... |
