Portable Electric Tools: Bosch JS120 12V jig saw
Bosch introduces the next generation in jig saw cutting with the new JS120. With its ergonomic, well-balanced barrel-grip design, the JS120 jig saw is now the most compact, lightest professional cordless jig saw on the market.
Part of the Bosch 12V Max system, the tool is ideal for trim carpenters, remodelers, cabinet and countertop installers, plumbers, electricians and HVAC professionals who need to make quick cuts in wood, metal or plastics.
The JS120 is engineered with a barrel grip for easier handling, especially when used for bottom-up cuts. The tool's orbital action allows professionals to make more precise, aggressive cuts in both straight- and curve-cutting applications.
The JS120 also provides a faster cutting speed and greater cutting capacity versus its closest competitor. To increase the tool's longevity, Bosch equipped it with its industry-leading Electronic Motor Protection (EMP) and Electronic Cell Protection (ECP) technology to prevent motor overload and battery overheating.
Additional features include a toolless, multi-directional blade clamp that offers quick and easy blade changes, as well as an LED that lights the cutting surface for enhanced visibility.
Weighing a best-in-class 3.3 pounds including the 2.0 Ah battery, the JS120 provides a compact solution for easy handling and fatigue-free work in tight spaces, overhead applications or repetitive cuts. An auto-stop brake stops immediately after the switch is moved to the off-position. A plastic overshoe protects the work surface.
When paired with the optimum Bosch T-shank jig saw blades, users will make faster and more precise cuts in multiple materials such as wood, metal and plastic. For larger wood cutting jobs, the JS120 can cut wood-based materials up to 2-3/4" thick. A 3/4-inch stroke makes for easier metal cutting in a variety of applications.
The JS120 Jig Saw is available in the JS120BN kit includes the jig saw, no-mar plastic overshoe, bevel wrench, anti-splinter insert, blade and exact-fit insert tray, which is designed to fit in Bosch L-Boxxes.
