The Bosch Professional GST 18 V-Li S jigsaw is a mushroom handle model that promises fast and precise cuts in all positions. Is this cordless model good for everything?
This jigsaw will satisfy demanding do-it-yourselfers who like the job done quickly and well. The Bosch GST 18 V-LI S is a very powerful model for straight cuts, even in thick wood. Quite logically, this performance has a high cost which will be justified in the event of frequent or intensive use of a jigsaw.
Strong points
- High performance.
- Separate variable speed drive.
- Clean and clean cuts in most wood materials.
- Very pleasant handling.
- Very manageable.
Weak points
- Autonomy.
- No protection around the blade.
- Impossible to tilt the sole.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Worx WX550 is a good jigsaw if you don’t require deep cuts or immense precision. The saber saw can also find its interest when the jigsaw is not suitable. By playing the versatility card, the WX550 is not as comfortable as two single-function tools. It will have the merit of covering more uses without too many false notes.
