Mount Prospect, Ill., December 20, 2007 - Lightweight and powerful, the new JS5 Orbital Jigsaw from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories is the ideal option for woodworkers, remodelers, serious DIYers and others who are ready to move up to a pro-caliber jigsaw.

The Bosch JS5 offers top-notch comfort and control, thanks to a counterbalanced drive system that minimizes vibration and a soft-grip handle and body that reduce user fatigue. Visibility is maximized by an adjustable dust blower, designed to keep sight lines clear during use. The lightweight JS5 barely tips the scales at five pounds.
