When the BOSCH Top-Handle Jig Saw (JS470E) landed on our bench, we weren’t looking for fireworks-we wanted clean curves, steady control, and fewer excuses to sand away mistakes. This 7.0-amp, corded workhorse feels purpose-built for shop life: plug in, dial the variable speed, and get on with the cut. In tight plywood turns and thicker stock, the saw stays composed, with a grip that encourages confident guiding rather than white-knuckle wrestling. We also like how quickly it settles into a rhythm-start, steer, finish-without feeling fussy. Of course, power and comfort only matter if accuracy follows, so we put the JS470E through the kinds of cuts we actually make.
