I bought mine in 2004, used it once and thought it was stolen when my garage was broken into. I found it in my attic yesterday. Sitting in a work bag, it looks like it was just taken out of the box. I loved this jigsaw when I bought it in 2004, I still love it in 2022. Thank you for this video, much appreciated.
Randall that’s a crazy story. It must be like new. How I’m the world did it end up in a bag in the attic? That’s what I want to know. Without you knowing I mean. Too funny. We’ll Christmas came early for you this year as it is a great jigsaw. I’m glad you found and liked the video.
I just bought one today at an estate sale for 20 bucks. it is new in the box!!!! Even has the original blades and booklets that came with it. It was packaged in a steel box with a cardboard box around it. Works great. Giving it to my son who just started making a wood shop
Wow. I think you may have found the last new one out there. Well done. Get him some of the blades I use in my videos, phenomenal blades from Bosch, it will cut amazingly.
My Mentor had an even earlier model which used a long shank “Flat head Screw driver” as the fastening tool during blade changes. I can remember He was so Jazzed when He bought the tool. I went a different direction not wanting to ho the “T-Shank” rout. I stayed with the now very dated “Universal/U Shank” blade style. The tool was the “Sawzit” by Milwaukee and rather than the Base Tilt the whole Head unit pivoted both left and right to gain your desired angle. I Loved it so much I had bought a second one just in case. But the First still performs as it did when New. In some cases the Older Tools Still hold their own even in today’s market of disposable tools... Great Video, Greg
Wow Gregory. I remember those tools. So crazy you still have it. I think my father In law had one. He loved Milwaukee saws. But yes the t shank saw blades are universal now. Kind of like beta vs Vhs. Only one made it big. Thanks for watching and commenting.
great tutorial. Thank you!!
@@king_cobra5492 you’re welcome.
Awesome video!! I was gifted one of these and did not know how to change the blade. Now I do!!
Thanks so much. I’m glad you found the video and my channel. That’s awesome.
I bought this saw on ebay without a manual. This vid was very helpful. Certainly plan to move the shoe backward and adjust the dust blower speeds. Thank you
Hey that’s awesome. I hope you like it. I still can’t believe how nice it is to use. Try to use really good blades for best results. I like Bosch 308 blades. I have a link for them in description.
Ive had my 1587 since 1999.
It it by far my favorite tool.
I just bought one for $40 last weekend and Im selling ig to a great fridnd of mine, ( for no more than I paid for it) as he is starting to side jobs and is beginning his journy into coolecting tools and power tools.
Thanks for sharing your story. It sounds like you’re a good friend to have. I hope he enjoys it as much as we do.
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore hes a young guy, 26 or so. Very knowledgeable for his age. The son I never had.
David I wanted to let you know I have the same Bosch jigsaw that I bought from Home Depot about 20 years ago but I got mine in a barrel grip. I just like those better and actually I have a new Makita jigsaw as well that I haven't even used yet because the Bosch is so good. I'm going to look at my Bosch jigsaw tomorrow and see where the base plate is mounted to the jigsaw I might have to move mine like you did. Thanks for the tech tip. Take care my friend
Makita Man I think we have a lot in common. This is really funny. But seriously though, let me know if your saw has the same feature. It's pretty cool.
Mr. Bryan, thank you for the tool reviews, great information about the jigsaw.
Thank you Paul for watching and commenting. I appreciate your feedback.
I had been using a Black and Decker for years that was given to me but seen this on sale at Lowe's one day and figured it was time to upgrade and it has been a great tool
Guy black and decker tools were very popular weren’t they. To think they bought delta machinery and then dewalt. I think it was a great idea for you to buy it from Lowe’s. Cool that they had it. I think I got mine from tool crib catalog.
This is a fantastic video.! ..thanks
Great video Mr. Bryan! I have had mine for like eight years maybe 10 and it is a workhorse and amazing and I always told everyone it was the best. Thanks!
Oh, yes , and I didn’t know about the dust collector option either !
Thanks Adam for sharing your experience with this tool. It’s nice to hear. I’m very happy that you watched and liked the video as well.
It answered all of my questions about the saw, I just got one and the man who owned it before didn't want it (I think he used it twice) and I wasn't sure how to replace the blade, much thanks.
I’m so glad this helped you. It sounds like you got a very nice condition one too. Good for you. Congrats. Thanks for sharing
This was my husband's but he has passed..what is the purpose of the little yellow knob on the trigger?..Thank you for youe time
Hi I’m sorry to hear about your husband. I’m sure he felt the same about this tool. The knob is the speed control so it will limit the speed trigger depth that you can squeeze it to. I’m glad you found this video and I really hope you enjoy it. Take care.
I went shopping for a Jigsaw today, I wanted a good one as I have always only had junk. Thought I was going to buy a $200.00 Makita until I realized it did not come with batteries, and the two pack of batteries brought the saw up to $400.00. That is just absurd, I asked the salesman where the corded ones were and both the Bosch and Makita models were no where to be found. Got fed up with the whole circus and went to a pawn shop. They had several junky el cheapo's and then I saw it shoved to the back of the shelf, a Bosch 1587. The finish is not great but all the screws looked to have never had a driver on them I plugged it in and it purred like a well oiled sewing machine. It was on sale for $24.00 : D I have not checked to see what these are worth but I imagine $24.00 was a good deal. Will be cleaing it up tomorrow and testing it's performance.
Awesome find. I hope it works well for you. Get good blades. That makes a huge difference. Sorry to hear about the makita. I bought mine on eBay as a bare tool. It’s nice but the Bosch still gives me better cuts and I can see the blade better for scribing. Normally, for cordless ease, I use makita in the field but when I’m in shop and I need ultra accuracy I use Bosch.
I need a use manula for 1581.7, any idea where I can dowloand a copy, their website shows nothing.
Here is a link to a website that has manuals. www.manualslib.com/products/Bosch-1587avs-6948753.html
Fantastic video -- really helpful. What blade type should I get for cutting vinyl planks for flooring? Recommendations?
Neslo 8201 they’re are special blades for cutting that stuff. Did you see my video on what happens to your saw blades when you cut Vinyl flooring? It’s not good. The best place to find good blades is Lowe’s or Home Depot. But I think Lowe’s is best. Look for the laminate flooring blades.
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore I did not see the video -- will watch now.Thank you for replying. To Lowes I go.
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore also -- I will only use the Jig for the jamb cuts and other specialized stuff. What do you use to clean the internals and grease it up? I agree with you about the 1587 -- it is just the bomb.
@@Neslo-1028 I only blow out the dust inside with air nozzle. Other than that, it’s not ever cleaned. It doesn’t need any. I actually did a long series on putting in luxury vinyl in my house. It is from start of demo to final painting of trim. It’s a complete series that doesn’t ever get many views. I think 6 episodes. I thought someday somebody might want to see it. You should check it out if you are interested in putting it in. I tried to show everything involved. It’s close to my first posted videos. it’s in the video playlist under luxury vinyl floor remodel series.
The shop where I did my apprenticeship, in the early 90's, had the previous model, with the flat screwdriver to fasten/loosen the blade. What's your go-to blade, David?
Oh yes so you know what I’m talking about. It’s been a long time since I had seen those old tools. I think my dad had one. The blades I like the most are Bosch 308. I prefer them for all my work. But if I need to use like a scroll saw, I use the 308 bo blades. Narrower but just as clean. I was thinking of doing a jigsaw blade comparison video. Do you think it would be good to do?
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore definitely worth doing. There are a LOT to choose from, these days.
@@lincolnbrown1904 I’ll do it. Great to hear. Thank you.
have u had any trouble with blade guide jumping out and will not go into place i changed my blade and not this brand but cant get the blade guide to get close enough to the blade on a black and decker and the walmart brand i dont think its broken but cant get it in place what am i doing wrong
Sorry I don’t know that brand. I wish I could help.
I have the 1581VS - have it FOREVER - but lately it's not cutting correctly, I have it squared up (PS - I also did realize I could move the plate back to that 2nd hole - awesome) - I can't seem to dial it in - if sort of drifts meaning my cuts begin square and midway thru the cut sort of angles. I never force it - and I try to not push lateral etc etc. meaning I let the tool do the work. Originally I thought, is the blade to blame? where the right kerfs are sharper than the left or something - but it does it with new blades too. I dont recall ever dropping it. is something out of align now? Have you had this happen, ps great channel.
M Etech thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. I wish I could help you on this. It sounds like youre doing all the right things. I would also think maybe its the blade. But if youve tried different blades, i don't know. Have you tried the blades i use, bosch 308 blades? They are really good. Also are you cutting really thick material?
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore will try the 308s. 3/4 thick here and there , will let u know
You did say you had the 1587avs right?
My experience with Bosch jigsaw was not good. The saw did a great job and I was happy with it until it started having part failures. It was a 1591 EVS. I only used it a few times during the warranty period, then shortly after the warranty expired the speed control failed. It ran for several years after that, and then recently I was using it to cut a thin piece of flooring when the motor slowed and smoke came out of the tool...the armature burned up! I didn't use this tool very often, and it was never abused. Now I'm hesitant to buy another Bosch saw or other tool.
@@kermitfrog1897 I don’t know much about your saw except it gets good reviews. I know my saw is amazing. And I’ve not heard anybody say otherwise. If I were looking for a corded model, a classic type, I’d go with this Bosch 1587evs. But you may like the barrel grip and the blade change better on the 1591. I’d seriously think about buying another 1591. Maybe you got a lemon.
I have one but no idea what the buttons do. Can't find a manual nor any video of anyone who has shown these. 😢😢
What buttons are you referring to?
I have that exact saw, it even has the same white metal case. That is an excellent tool. Its very frustrating that almost all of the tool manufactures are going to cheaper tools made mostly with plastic. I would be very willing to purchase a better made tool but they are not available. Ive got a Porter Cable 503 locomotive sander and a 314 worm drive 4 1/2 inch trim saw. Both of these are buy once tools. You just cant wear them out. I wish I had a couple of the 3101 laminate routers. I really dislike most "made in China" sub-par tools and their crappy tool cases.
I agree Frankie. It’s hard to find good tools these days. Especially if you don’t want to spend a lot of cash. Even if you spend a lot sometimes the tools aren’t very good either.
😊😊😊😊
Thanks
