Petro0311 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Def let us know about that Bosch. I have the older larger one and it's a beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santi_78342 Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 So after using these tools for the last couple of days I can tell you guys they're great! The Porter Cable is well balanced and the perfect weight to let it do its thing. Tracking belts is simple and they stay where they're supposed to. It's also pretty simple to replace the drive belt should I have to in the future so I'm thinking this is the last belt sander I will ever need to buy!The Bosch jig saw is amazing. Easily the most comfortable jig saw I've ever used. It's basically an extension of your arm, making it super easy to maneuver. The LEDs light up the line nicely but i think I would rather them turn on with the tool instead of having a separate button. I also wish the variable speed dial was located below the power switch instead of at the back of tool. This will probably be the last jig saw I will need to buy! Unless of course Milwaukee comes out with a Fuel jig saw, which I will definitely be picking up! I recommend both of these tools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I've always used what I would call the "traditional" style grip jigsaws for no other reason than that is all I have ever known, but I really want to try out one of the barrel grips. When that powerbox comes in I think I am gonna dry when I see your pics!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Right now I have a cheap ryobi I picked up in a pinch, it's okay but the bevel lock is trash, my next jig will definitely be a Bosch. Not sure which grip style I'll get, more than likely the traditional d style.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 My first jog was a black in decker then I got the Dewalt 20v jog which IMO is a beast for being cordless but those Bosch barrel grips look very comfortable to use plus they get nothing but great reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
