International Tool sent me an email showing Bosch's new 1590 jig saw. It
has a quick release blade lever similar to Milwaukee's and several other
improvements. Too bad it has a top handle.

If anyone is looking for the old 1587, Menards currently has it on sale for
$109 (ie. $130 - 16% bag sale).

it at least at one time was. I suspect you could get one if you wanted
to. I compared the two styles side by side and chose the top handle.

The equivalent body grip model (I have one, it is sweet) is apparently
not available in the USA. I woudl be gloating if I had bought mine cheap
- I will merely feel smug.

FINALLY.....
The battery version has been out for a year or so... Now new Bosch owners
will no longer be missing out on a feature that has been too long in the
making. Ida bought it had they offered it 5 years ago, instead my Milwaukee
got the nod. If I were shopping I would once again strongly consider a
Bosch with this feature.
