What reviewers say about the Bosch JS572EBL Barrel-Grip Jig Saw
Only one whitelisted tester covers this tool: Pro Tool Reviews hands-on tested the barrel-grip Bosch JS572E (reviewed as the JS572EBK L-Boxx kit, the same barrel-grip tool as the standalone JS572EBL). It scored 8.8/10 with an unqualified recommendation, praising outstanding cutting, superb tool-less blade change with hot-blade auto-eject, and dust collection; the barrel switch is right-thumb-only. No RTINGS, TechGearLab, or Popular Mechanics review exists.

Tested by Pro Tool Reviews
Consistently praised
- Outstanding cutting performance in hardwood (5-in white oak cut in 29 seconds with 10-in blade)
- Superb tool-less blade change with spring-loaded hot-blade auto-eject
- Excellent dust collection with shop vac plus bright dual-LED cut illumination
- Barrel grip gives better cut visibility and control when cutting from below
Commonly flagged
- Barrel-grip trigger switch works with the right thumb only, awkward for left-handers
- Dust shroud made little difference; a good amount of shavings still end up on the floor
- Barrel-grip design (vs top handle) runs hotter and lacks a variable-speed trigger
Where reviewers disagree Single-source: only Pro Tool Reviews tested this tool, so no cross-outlet agreement or dispute can be assessed. The one measured figure (29-second cut) was taken on the identical-engine top-handle JS572EK, not the barrel grip itself, though the reviewer rated both grips equally fast. The 'runs hotter / lacks variable speed' knock is framed by the reviewer as the common argument against barrel grips rather than a measured finding.

Cut time through dry 5-in square white oak (10-in blade): 29 seconds
In my use tests both saws gave outstanding performance.
I can give both these tools my unqualified recommendation.
The barrel grip switch is controlled with the right thumb only, however.
