Bosch EasySaw 12 06033B4004

Modest but tasteful

The Bosch EasySaw 12 electric jigsaw from the "green" Bosch line will not impress professionals, because it has a small sawing depth (only 30 mm in wood and 2 mm in aluminium). Also, there are no such functions necessary in a professional workshop as a pendulum stroke or tilt of the sole. But amateur craftsmen will be delighted with this jigsaw. After all, it has an attractive price (not as low as that of very low-cost models, but still cheaper than other Bosch cordless jigsaws), and the technical characteristics and functionality are consistent with the status of a “home tool”. So why pay more? In addition, the jigsaw is equipped with a built-in light and comes in a convenient plastic case.

Today a jigsaw, tomorrow a reciprocating saw

Thanks to the keyless blade change system with SDS mount, Bosch saw blades (as well as their counterparts from other brands with T-shanks) can be installed in two positions: with the teeth away from you (like a jigsaw) or towards you (like a reciprocating saw). Therefore, with the help of one tool, today you can cut a parquet board or planks for a picket fence, doing housework, and tomorrow you can rearrange the canvas with teeth in the other direction and go to the garden to cut unnecessary or dry branches from trees and bushes.

For those who are not accustomed to strain

The undoubted advantage of this model is its low weight. It weighs only 1.1 kg (about a kilogram and a half lighter than the average cordless jigsaw) — even teenagers or the fair sex will not get tired trimming branches with this tool. Combined with compact dimensions and an interesting form factor with an unusual "pistol" grip, this makes the jigsaw very simple and easy to use.
