Bosch is awesome [Posted on 2000-11-14]
I have been using this tool for two years and I have to say that I love it. It has more than enough power for metal and wood cutting as well as heavy demolition work. The blade clamp is easy to use although I have broken two of them in the time I have owned it, and have replaced it with the regular allen wrench clamp with no problems since. This is why I only gave it four stars. I make it work hard and it does not disappoint. I would definitely buy this tool again.
If you don't buy the Milwaukee , buy this [Posted on 2000-12-20]
My favorite saws are the Milwaukee super sawzalls with orbital action. This saw runs a very close second . It has enough power for any job you throw at it. What I like even better is that it has a very effective counter balance. Some saws that are counter balanced have more vibration than other saws that don't. Not so with this big tool. It is very well engineered as we would expect from Bosch. The Only thing I like better on the Milwaukee is that it's physically smaller and it feels a little tighter. It cuts a tad faster. For me it was the logical choice. For you it may be different. In any case this saw cuts circles around all other competitors including the PC tiger saws and the new Hitachi swing blade saw. This saw has been rated #1 and #2 in several magazine reviews.
Wouldn't stand up to what I had to do [Posted on 2001-12-15]
Before I bought my Milwaukee, I tried this one. The first one had a faulty foot adjusting mechanism. The second one broke where the blade fits into the chuck.
I'm tearing down an old house, so the tools I use get a workout, but my Milwaukee hasn't failed,and I've used it ten times more than I did both Bosches.
what a mistake [Posted on 2002-02-23]
I'm a die-hard Bosch fan, have almost every tool they make. I was so disapointed in this saw. Two issues, first the case, It arived damaged, the plastic case it comes in is very thin plastic and the tools orbital switch fatigued then finally broke thought the lid. I thought it was a fluke. They re-shipped, newer one same thing!! the orbital switch had been rubbing the case since it left the factory. The saw itself had several cosmetic blemishes, someone somewhere (QC maybe) had noticed them and circled them with a grease pencil, but decided to ship out anyway!! Also saw speed selector is the thinnest of plastic and can be moved way past the housing of the handle. The blade holder dosnt completely clear the body of the saw on the out stroke so blade change is a bit awkward and finally the varible speed kicks in only after you pull the trigger in all the way, THEN release it slowly to a desired speed - not slow from the start!!?? Whats up with that? Both saws same problems. Oh yeah did I mention it weighs about what a concrete block does. I love Bosch but steer clear of this one. I bought a Milwaukee orbital and its golden. detachable cord, the METAL case hold the tool with the blade on, its made in the USA and its cheaper!! I just wish it was blue!
