this and the jigsaw (both battery and not) are the best of the line in practicality. I use them both constantly.
The blades seem to last for ever and easily switched. And batteries are now on sale cheap here at Amazon (about 40 bucks which is unheard of for 18 volt nicad boschs)
only criticisms are wishes: more rabbiting clearence on one side or the other...but does get down about 3/16's or so. And better chip clearance. Deeper cuts always clog up on both cabled and cordless models. As on the belt sanders, Bosch seems to have a hard time engineering good dust and chip expulsion w/o vacuum (and even w/ vacuum assistance). Also the reversible direction of chip expulsion is a great feature Left or right...but hte plastic turning tube/selector eventually will break as it's always stiff to turn. All the pro's seem to have their's broken as my finally did after 4 yrs.
Otherwise still going strong! No one else seems to offer this sort of product and Bosch is the best in jigsaws and hand planers (except for the minor problems mentioned above.)
